A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE: TRUE LOVE

A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE: TRUE LOVE
Pastor Phill Goss | 02.09.25

1 Peter 2:9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

How Love Is Defined

What The World Says:

Love Is A

You In Love

I Must Find The Right Person To Love

What God Says:

Love Is A Matter Of

Colossians 3:14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.

Love Is A Matter Of

1 John 3:18 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.

How Love Is Displayed

Love Is

1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient….

Ephesians 4:2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

Love Is

1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is ….. kind.

Ephesians 4: 31 -32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.

32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Love Is

1 Corinthians 13:4 …. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud

Romans 8:38 – 39 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 12:16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!

Love Isn’t

1 Corinthians 13:5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.

Philippians 2:3 – 4Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.

4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others,

too.

Love The Truth

1 Corinthians 13:6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.

1 John 3:18 – 19 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.

19 Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God

1 Peter 1:21 – 22 Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory.

22 You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.

Love Never

1 Corinthians 13:7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

8 …love will last forever!

Galatians 6:9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

How God’s Love Is Developed

God’s Love

Romans 5:8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Ephesians 3:18 – 19 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.

19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

In God’s Love

John 15:9 – 10 “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.

10 When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

God’s Love To Others

John 13:34 – 35 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.

35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
