Nature of Biblical Love
It is NOT
Primarily a FEELING
It is
ROOTED in JESUS’ LOVE
It INITIATES
It is Not Based on the WORTH
OF THE OBJECT
It is UNCONDITIONAL
It
is SACRIFICIAL & SELF-GIVINGSlide16

Corinthians
13:4-8
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.Slide17
Ephesians
4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in loveSlide18
Philippians
2:3-4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility
consider others better than yourselves
. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of othersSlide19

6:10
So
then, as we have opportunity, let us
do good
to everyone, and
especially to those who are of the household of faithSlide20

Love one another with brotherly affection.
Outdo one another in showing honor

Francis Schaeffer
I have observed one thing
among true Christians
in their differences in many countries: What divides and severs true Christian groups and Christians — what leaves a bitterness that can last for 20, 30 or 40 years…is not the issue of doctrine or belief which caused the differences in the first place. Invariably it is lack of love — and the bitter things that are said by true Christians in the midst of
differences…Slide23
Francis Schaeffer
…
These stick in the mind like glue. And after time passes and the differences between the Christians or the groups appear less than they did, there are still those bitter, bitter things we said in the midst of what we thought was a good and sufficient objective discussion. It is these things — these unloving attitudes and words — that cause the stench that the world can smell in the church of Jesus Christ among those who are really true Christians.Slide24
JOHN
13:34
A new commandment I give to you
, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you
, you also are to love one another…Slide25
Leviticus
19:18
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall
love your neighbor as yourself
: I am the LORDSlide26
1
JOHN
4:9-11
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved,
if God so loved us, we also ought to love one anotherSlide27
Romans
5:8
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.Slide28
Francis Schaeffer
The church is to be a loving church in a dying culture. How, then, is the dying culture going to consider us?...Jesus is giving a right to the world. Upon his authority he gives the world the right to judge whether you and I are born-again Christians on the basis of our observable love toward all ChristiansSlide29
