The Advent of Love

December 7, 2014

Love is Life Giving

• John 3:16– For God so loved the world that he gave his one

and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

• John 10:10– The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I

have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Love is Selfless

John 15:12-14

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command.

Love is Walking in God’s Truth

2 John 1:6

And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

Love is Forgiveness

1 Peter 4:8

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
