JAMES 7 - JESUS LOVE, YOUR LOVE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE

2. JESUS’
LOVE
YOUR LOVE

3. 8
If you really keep the royal law found in
Scripture, “Love your neighbor as
yourself,” you are doing right.
9
But if you show favoritism, you sin and
are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
10
For whoever keeps the whole law and
yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of
breaking all of it.
JAMES 2:8-13

4. 11
For he who said, “You shall not commit
adultery,” also said, “You shall not
murder.” If you do not commit adultery
but do commit murder, you have become
a lawbreaker.
12
Speak and act as those who are going to
be judged by the law that gives freedom,
JAMES 2:8-13

5. 13
because judgment without mercy will
be shown to anyone who has not been
merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
JAMES 2:8-13

9. LOVE ISLOVE IS
BIBLICALBIBLICAL

10. The Bible is ultimately about God’s love,
and before it talks to us about our love,
it talks to us about God’s love. And this
is really important, otherwise the Bible
becomes a series of principles to live by
instead of a person to live for.

11. 37
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind.’
38
This is the first and greatest
commandment.
39
And the second is like it: ‘Love your
neighbor as yourself.’
MATTHEW 22:37–40

12. 40
All the Law and the Prophets hang on
these two commandments.”
MATTHEW 22:37–40

13. 5
Love the LORD your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all
your strength.
DEUTERONOMY 6:5

14. 18
“‘Do not seek revenge or bear a
grudge against anyone among your
people, but love your neighbor as
yourself. I am the LORD.
LEVITICUS 19:18

15. SELF-SELF-
LOVELOVE

16. 5
And hope does not put us to shame,
because God’s love has been poured out
into our hearts through the Holy
Spirit, who has been given to us.
Romans 5:5

17. It starts with the love of God.
God does love you.
And because He loves you,
He pours His love into you so that
His love can be poured through you.

18. “Everything will make progress in your
life and the Scriptures will start to make
sense when you know that God loves
you, and then you respond by loving
Him and loving others.”

20. 8
If you really keep the royal law found in
Scripture, “Love your neighbor as
yourself,” you are doing right.
9
But if you show favoritism, you sin and
are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
10
For whoever keeps the whole law and
yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of

JAMES 2:8-13

21. 11
For he who said, “You shall not commit
adultery,” also said, “You shall not
murder.” If you do not commit adultery
but do commit murder, you have become
a lawbreaker.
12
Speak and act as those who are going to
be judged by the law that gives freedom,
JAMES 2:8-13

22. 13
because judgment without mercy will
be shown to anyone who has not been
merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
JAMES 2:8-13

23. This is important. There is no right
understanding of love apart from the
love of God, the God of love, which is
only to be found in the Word of God.
Our world has no understanding of love.
It doesn’t.

24. To understand love, we don’t begin with
ourselves, we begin with the Scriptures.
The Scriptures reveal to us who God is
and how God loves.

25. SOVEREIGNSOVEREIGN
LOVELOVE

26. We don’t live in a way that we are
autonomous or live autonomously, but
we live under God’s sovereignty, that
God rules over us.

27. Jesus is King. and He’s a good King.
He rules over us in sovereignty,
and He has Scripture to be our
authority.

28. LOVE ISLOVE IS
SELF-LESSSELF-LESS

29. 37
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind.’
38
This is the first and greatest
commandment.
39
And the second is like it: ‘Love your
neighbor as yourself.’
MATTHEW 22:37–40

30. The Bible assumes that we do love
ourselves and the Bible assumes that
we often fail to love others.

31. 12
So in everything, do to others what you
would have them do to you, for this sums
up the Law and the Prophets.
MATTHEW 7:12

32. 17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish
the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to
abolish them but to fulfill them.
18
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth
disappear, not the smallest letter, not the
least stroke of a pen, will by any means
disappear from the Law until everything is
accomplished.
MATTHEW 5:17–18

33. THETHE
ROYAL LAWROYAL LAW

34. Jesus gives us His royal law in the
Scriptures, and then the king gets off his
throne, enters into human history, and
lives by his own laws. And He lives in
such a way to fulfill the royal law.
That’s why He said He came.

35. Jesus fulfills the law for us, and He does
a work in us so that we now love the
royal law, and we love the King, and we
want to obey the King, and we want to
serve the King, and we want to become
more like the King.

40. 48
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly
Father is perfect.
MATTHEW 5:48

41. There are two categories in all of
human history: sinners and Jesus.

42. We’re not supposed to compare
ourselves to people; we’re supposed to
compare ourselves to one person—
Jesus Christ, the only one who’s fulfilled
the royal law.

43. SHOWINGSHOWING
PARTIALITYPARTIALITY
IS SINIS SIN

44. Some of you believers are like,
“I won’t be judged. I’m a believer.
I’m not going to be judged.”
You won’t be condemned, but you will
be judged.
Everyone will stand before the
judgment seat of Christ.

45. 10
You, then, why do you judge your brother
or sister? Or why do you treat them with
contempt? For we will all stand before
God’s judgment seat.
11
It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’”
ROMANS 14:10-12

46. 12
So then, each of us will give an account of
ourselves to God.
ROMANS 14:10-12

47. 9
After this I looked, and there before me
was a great multitude that no one could
count, from every nation, tribe, people
and language, standing before the throne
and before the Lamb. They were wearing
white robes and were holding palm
branches in their hands.
REVELATION 7:9

48. We’ll all stand before the judgment seat
of Christ, and our lives will be judged.
And we’ll be judged not for our
salvation or damnation, but for our
rewards in eternity.
Your life matters. It really does count.

49. Everything you’re doing will be judged.
“For judgment is without mercy to one
who has shown no mercy.
Mercy triumphs over judgment.”
God is perfect. Heaven is perfect.

50. God’s royal law is perfect, and it
perfectly condemns, judges everyone as
a transgressor, as a rebel, as a law-
breaker. He has transitioned from love
to justice.

51. THE WRATHTHE WRATH
OF GODOF GOD

52. All religions don’t save. God doesn’t love
everyone forever. You don’t just die and
go to a better place. Some people die,
and they go to hell, and they live
eternally under the conscious eternal
torment of the wrath of God.

53. The wrath of God, is mentioned in the
Bible more often than the love of God.
The Bible does say that God is love, but
more often than the love of God is
mentioned the holiness of God.
The most common attribute of God
mentioned in the whole Bible.

54. The bedrock of it all. God is holy, God is
good, God is right, God is altogether
only and always without sin. Clean,
pure, undefiled, and un-compromised.

55. You’ve all been lied to. Not all gods are
the same, not all religions are the same,
not all saviors save, and there’s not one
good person among us. We are all guilty
under the law of our good King.
ONLY AND ONLY JESUS SAVES.

56. And the Bible speaks of the wrath of
God with some 20 words on some 600
occasions.

57. Jesus talks about hell more than anyone
in the whole Bible. Jesus decides who
goes to hell. Jesus decides what the
sentence is in hell. You will live forever.

58. The Bible says that hell was built for
Satan and demons, but there’s room for
you too, if you don’t repent for your sins
and accept
Jesus as your Savior and Lord.

59. GOD’SGOD’S
HOLINESSHOLINESS
AND LOVEAND LOVE
INTERSECTINTERSECT
AT THE CROSSAT THE CROSS

60. How many of you, were hoping there
was a remedy for your condition, a hope
for your salvation?

61. The remedy is MERCY.

62. Mercy is where you deserve something
bad and you don’t get it.

63. You get something wonderful instead of
something awful. Every time the Bible
speaks of God’s love, it’s pointing to
Jesus’ cross. James knew this. He
watched his brother get crucified, and
then after Jesus rose from the dead,

64. he would have explained to James why
he died so that God could still be a good
King with a royal law and love guilty
transgressors without losing his holiness
or his love.

65. So the holiness of God and the love of
God intersect at the cross of Jesus, and
he calls that MERCY. That’s where they
kiss. And so there’s no understanding of
love, there’s no demonstration of love,
there’s no reception of love apart from
the cross of Jesus.

66. 8
But God demonstrates his own love for
us in this: While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.
ROMANS 5:8

67. 9
This is how God showed his love among
us: He sent his one and only Son into the
world that we might live through him.
10
This is love: not that we loved God, but
that he loved us and sent his Son as an
atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 JOHN 4:9–10

68. God sends us his written Word. He also
sends us His Son as the living Word so
that we can hear about the love of God,
but we could also see the love of God.

69. It begins with God seeking us, God
loving us, God pursuing us before we
have a sense of need, before we have a
desire or longing because we’re
spiritually dead and our desires are
corrupted.

70. Christianity begins with God’s love for
you. Before God asks you to love Him or
love anyone, he loves you first, and he
gives you his love to love him back and
to love others.

71. 17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish
the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to
abolish them but to fulfill them.
18
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth
disappear, not the smallest letter, not the
least stroke of a pen, will by any means
disappear from the Law until everything is
accomplished.
MATTHEW 5:17-18

72. This is how bad you are: God had to die
for you. So, self-help, self-love is self-
delusion. We’re so bad that God had to
die for us. We’re worse than we feared
and more loved than we hoped.

73. And all of this is made possible
through Jesus.
It’s only made possible
through Jesus.

74. TOLERANCE ANDTOLERANCE AND
TRANSFORMATIOTRANSFORMATIO
NN

75. God is tolerant. He welcomes through
Jesus Christ everyone and anyone.
Whatever religion, whatever race,
whatever sexuality, whatever income
level, whatever proclivity, whatever
activity, He welcomes you.

76. JESUSJESUS
LOVESLOVES
YOUYOU

77. The answer to all the problems is always
the same. It’s the love of Jesus.

78. Though it seems impossible, if you will
love your neighbor, God’s love will be
free to change you to become more like
Jesus, who loves you the most.

79. Who do you need to forgive?

80. What do you need to let go of?

81. What do you need to move on from?

82. How do you need to love those whom
you find it most difficult to love?

83. How has Jesus loved you, and how can
you share that love?

84. I love you all.
I love you all with the love of Jesus.
