True Love Is Perfected In Christ And Reflected In Us
1.
His love is a CHOICE that allows us to follow His LEAD.
Main Idea: The love that God had for us was totally His choice.
God loved us even though we were unlovable.
God chose to love us.
We model this same kind of love for others.
We choose to love them, without them earning it.
· God is love.
Love is from God. God is the ONLY source of love.
· God doesn’t love us in our response to Him.
God loved us before we ever loved Him.
God didn’t love us because we are loveable.
· Propitiate, Expiate, Atone
· Reciprocate the love we received - perpetual motion
· At the Cross we see the satisfaction of God’s wrath by God’s love through God’s Gift.
· We don’t live FOR God’s love, we are to live FROM God’s love.
· His love is the fuel that empowers fruitful works.
2. His love is our TESTIMONY that allows us to reflect His LIGHT.
Main Idea: Scripture tells us that no one has seen God.
We are His image barriers and His reflection (of love) is our testimony to a dark, unbelieving world.
· The Holy Spirit is a gift given to the believer.
It is not earned through works.
· “You are the only Bible some Unbelievers will ever read.”
-John MacArthur
· A church that is always trying to be like the World has absolutely nothing to offer a World that’s dying.
o That is like a nurse trying to mimic the sickness of a patient…it is silly.
3. His love Is our GIFT that allows us to confirm His PRESENCE
Main Idea: God has a general love for the world, which is seen in His common goodness and grace.
His world for the love will eventually come to an end.
However, God’s love for us through Jesus Christ is present at a deeper level and a longer timespan (eternity.)
We have come to know and believe that God’s love for us through Jesus is a perfect love.
· A huge lie in our culture: God is love and love is God.
· This is like saying “grass is green and green is grass”
· “We have so elevated the love of God over the wrath of God that we have air-conditioned Hell.” -Steve Lawson
4. His love is our COMFORT that allows us to trust His SACRIFICE
Main Point: God’s perfect love for us gives us comfort during the most anxious and stressful time in our life, the day of judgment.
It is our trust in Christ sacrifice that calms our fears, on this most important day, when the sheep and the goats are separated.
· Love makes us bold.
Love gives us confidence.
Love casts out fear.
· Close love creates complete confidence.
· The CLOSER your love for Christ, the more confidence is CREATED.
· When you are close to someone whom you love, who has a lot more power than you do, you will not fear.
· If your child was trapped in a burning building, you would run in immediately…WHY?
· Because the love you have for your child would cast out the fear of fire.
· Any fear that makes us DISTRUST God’s promises and DOUBT His Word is a fear that will begin to DESTROY our joy.
· During Covid, everybody was getting tested for the virus.
There were false positives and false negatives.
Therefore, the tests were not all 100% accurate.
· However, there is one test that proves 100% that we are Believers: Do we love our Brothers and Sisters in Christ?
