The Love God gives us to share is not about my feelings or desires, but what is best for the other person, even if costly and delayed.
The most profound expressions of giftedness have no lasting power to impact others, ourselves, or make an eternal impact without love. Love is the best way to live, adding impact to our effort!
As members of Christ’s body we reflect the variety of His creative ability, for which each one is to be honored and provided the same care as an integrated whole.
God uniquely empowers each member of his body with a special gift to serve one another and live as one body joined together in Christ. Key Verse: for even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.
Christ’s sacrifice provides forgiveness of all our sin. Walking in sin invites God’s judgment and discipline. Repent and walk in the new life God freely provides for us.
We are called to visibly live in submission to the authority God ha given to follow, both directly to him and indirectly to human authority. As leader and as a body we are to love and care for one another as a reflection of Christ’s sacrificial, redeeming love.
Whether we live in freedom or sacrifice our freedom for the good of others, our aim is to bring God glory in whatever we do.
Trust the provisions of our Faithful God to escape the temptations of the Evil One that can lead to our destruction.
God created all things for His glory and purpose. We glorify Him as we choose to love people over exercising our freedom.
