OUTLINE:

“where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom”
This “freedom” is a function of salvation and yet it is even misunderstood by believers. This is why we must abide the Word of God, so that we learn and be delivered (saved daily) from our preconceptions (this is sanctification, which takes time).

Love Isn’t Sterile, It Is Meant to Be Experienced
We are positionally delivered from the domain of darkness, but we must LEARN and subsequently EXPERIENCE what this means.

Synthesize
1Co 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.
Jas 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Jn 15:12 “This is my commandment [“My Word”], that you love one another [“that you DO love”] as I have loved you.”

Heb 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Love Isn’t Sterile, It Is Meant to Be Experienced
We are positionally delivered from the domain of darkness, but we must LEARN and subsequently EXPERIENCE what this means.

Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh – blog 10/7/22
When He adopted you into His family, He didn’t create in you a spirit of defeat that leads to depression. He gave you purpose. This purpose is meant to be a flame inside of you!

Col 3:14-15
And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

1Co 13:13
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Jn 13:34-35
“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. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

1Jn 3:1
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

“and so we are”
This is our conviction to hold fast to! We are God’s children and He’s given us the right to enjoy His love. Please never let the god of this world (Satan) rob you of this Truth!

Pr 24:16
for the righteous falls seven times and rises again.

Mk 12:30-31
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Identifying Godly Love
The most distinguishing feature of godly love is its inexhaustible desire to give.

Love Becomes Us
Love is not only becoming - love BECOMES us. In other words, love is the lifeblood of who we are in Christ, as God’s children. We are earmarked for it (Ro 8:28-30; Eph 1:3-6). We are identified by it (Jn 13:35). God is glorified by it because He is the Giver (1Jn 4:11-13).

Love Becomes Us
Godly love is truly transcendent. The beautiful thing about it is that it takes you with it on a journey that transports you (and your life by proxy) to an untouchable place. It protects you by removing you from the throes of the KoD.
