"Love means living the way God commanded us to live. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is this: Live a life of love." 2 John 1:6 (NCV)
Stuff That Stuck Out:
- Life is all about love.
- Because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to love.
- God wants his family to be known for its love more than anything else. Jesus said our love for each other -- not our doctrinal beliefs -- is our greatest witness to the world.
- There are three important truths we learn through fellowship:
- Life without love is really worthless.
- Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.
- The point of life is learning to love -- God and people. Life minus love equals zero.
- Love will last forever.
- Love leaves a legacy and is the secret of a lasting heritage.
- We will be evaluated on our love.
- One of the ways God measures spiritual maturity is by the quality of your relationships.
- The greatest gift you can give someone is your time.
- Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is "T-I-M-E."
- The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.
- You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.
- Love means giving up -- yielding my preferences, comfort, goals, security, money, energy, or time for the benefit of someone else.
- The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.
Verse To Remember: "The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Galatians 5:14 (NIV)
Question To Consider: Honestly, are relationships my first priority? How can I ensure that they are?
