ESSENTIAL #19 The Way Of Love

1 Corinthians 13


"And now these remain: faith, hope and Love. But the greatest of these is love."

How do we love and forgive an unfaithful spouse or someone we thought was a friend who shares private details of our lives with others? What about the person who lies to us outright when we are seeking the truth? And how do we not resent someone who stands in the way of our dreams? Especially, how do we love and forgive a person who would harm someone we are close to?
Well, the truth is because we are all sinners we could never fully love the way Paul describes in 1 Corinthians, chapter 13. However, God can and does love like this all the time. Love is His very nature. The Bible actually says that GOD is LOVE.

The awesome news is that for those of us who have committed our lives to following Jesus, we are able to love unconditionally -- really! If we allow the Holy Spirit that God has so graciously given us to flow through our lives, we are able to love Him, others and even ourselves
