This document discusses the nature of love according to God. It states that God is love, and that in order to become like God, people cannot separate what love "is" and what it "does." It provides many Bible verses that define love, such as having patience and kindness, not being jealous or boastful, and protecting, trusting, and hoping in others. It emphasizes that love is the fulfillment of God's commandments and that Christians are called to love God, their neighbors, and themselves.
“FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM, SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.” JOHN 3:16
Philippians 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

This is the greatest verse in the bible, it demonstrates the Love of God for man and how God was willing to give the very best thing he had to save us from our sins...
Agape love is difficult for us. It does not come easily. God commands Agape love. Agape love does not change with feelings or depend on feelings. Agape love is a decision. God never command something of us that he will not see that we can accomplish it
Agape is godly love, phileo is brotherly love, Storge is family love, Eros is sexual love, Eros is not used in the bible. Peter and his denying the Lord three times and he is asked by Jesus two times if he loves Him with Agape love. Peter responds with phileo love. The third time Jesus asked him if he loved him with phileo love. It grieved Peter that he asked him the third time with phileo rather than agape. Why is agape love so difficult for us?

A holy convocation held on the 10th day of the 7th month of Tisri.
This is the most solemn day of the year during which we fast & offer prayers to be forgiven for our sins.
To ‘atone’ means to reconcile, to make right and recompense
God commands us to celebrate the atonement each year, which points to the time when Christ will blot away our sins with his blood.
In this message we look at what it means to abide in the Father's love. We discover eight outcomes of abiding in the Father's love and learn the importance of obedience and divine discipline to abide in the Father's love.

Mark. 12:30 “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. ”
Mark. 12:31 “And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." ”
God want to reveal his love to us and his eternal plan, so he give us the Bible, to allow us to understand his mind, and great commandment is the core of the Bible, so if we understand it and when we read the Bible we will have a deeper understanding, since great commandment is so important we’re going to have a deeper discussion about it
Do you look like your parents? For me, some may say I really look like my dad. He just smiles more often and I don’t. Hehe. It’s just amazing to see how a child can really resemble his or her father or mother. We have a resemblance to our earthly parents no matter who big or small it may be. But we should also consider our resemblance to our heavenly Father. We will learn a lot about this as we study 1 John chapter 3.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
1. CALLED TO BE AS GOD IS.
God is love. He loves us.
We love Him. He lives in us.
As a consequence his love should ooze out of us naturally.
2. GOD IS LOVE
• If we ever want to be good representants of
God, we need to be immersed in His love, to be
able to let the abundance of His love flow out of
us and touch and change those around us.
• Becoming as God is does not imply an effort of
our part, but actually is allowing God who lives in
us, do His work
3. WHAT IS LOVE?
•Let‟s review some
scriptures to find out what
God describes as love.
4. GOD IS LOVE (I JOHN. 4:8, 16).
• Love is who God is.
• And what God does.
• In order to become like God, we cannot
separate what love “IS” and what it “DOES”
• These two need to stay together.

sins.

as a young man

So shall your God
rejoice over you.
19. 1 John 3:1 New King James
Version (NKJV)
3 Behold what manner
of love the Father has
bestowed on us, that
we should be called
children of God!

does not know
us, because it did not
know Him.

shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not
bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there
is any other commandment, are all summed up in this

him.
36. 1 Corinthians 13:1
New King James Version
(NKJV)
The Greatest Gift
13 Though I speak
with the tongues of
men and of angels,
but have not love, I
have become
sounding brass or a
clanging cymbal.
37. Matthew 7:7
New King James Version
(NKJV)

Seeking, Knocking

and it will be

and you will find;

opened to you.
38. John 15:10

commands, you

love, just as I have

New King James Version
(NKJV)
Obedience by Faith
20 If someone says, “I
love God,” and hates
his brother, he is a liar;
for he who does not
love his brother whom
he has seen, how can
he love God whom he
has not seen?
45. 1 John 4:18
New King James Version
(NKJV)
18 There is no fear
in
love; but perfect love
casts out fear,
because fear
involves torment.
But he who fears
has not been made
perfect in love.
46. Leviticus 19:18
New King James Version
(NKJV)
18 You shall not take
vengeance, nor bear
any grudge against
the children of your
people, but you shall
love your neighbor
as yourself:
I am the LORD.
47. 1 John 3:16-18
New King James Version
(NKJV)
The Outworking of Love
16 By
this we know love, because
He laid down His life for us. And
we also ought to lay
down our lives for the
brethren. 17 But whoever has this
world‟s goods, and sees his
brother in need, and shuts up his
heart from him, how does the
love of God abide in him?
18 My
little children, let us not love
in word or in tongue, but in deed
and in truth.
48. Matthew 6:24
New King James Version
(NKJV)
You Cannot Serve God
and Riches
24 “No one can serve two
masters; for either he will
hate the one and love the
other, or else he will be
loyal to the one and
despise the other. You
cannot serve God and
mammon.
50. WE ABIDE IN HIM
• He‟s words abide in us.
• We can ask what we desire.
• And it will be done for us!
• Ask with generosity
51. YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG ON THIS:
• When you prophesy to someone
that God loves him/her you are
100 % accurate in your prophecy;
because that is the nature of God,
that is what He is, that is what He
does.
52. PROPHESYING IS SIMPLY SPEAKING GOD‟S
HEART OVER A PERSON, OR OVER YOURSELF!
• Tonight, you are prophesying over yourself:
• That God loves you.
• That you love God.
• That you love your neighbor
• That you love yourself
53. REMEMBER TO USE THE RIGHT
GRAMMATICAL TENSE.
•
Time Expressions with Present Perfect
•
When we use the Present Perfect it means that something has happened
at some point in our lives before now. Remember, the exact time the
action happened is not important.
• Time Expressions with Present Perfect
• When we use the Present Perfect it means that something has
happened at some point in our lives before now. Remember, the
exact time the action happened is not important.
• Present Perfect suggests the process is not complete and more
actions are possible.
54. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
• God has loved you before He put the foundations of the
universe!
• He has blessed you since you were in your mothers womb!
• His love is:
• Eternal
unconditional
unlimite
free
• You cannot buy God‟s love.
• You cannot pay for it.
• Why you would try to buy something that you already possess
and that has been giving you by free?
55. NEXT WEEK…
• Next week we will start an Study of
“The Feast of the Lord.”
• Leviticus 23 speaks of the seven Feasts of
the Lord.
• These feast have a prophetical picture for
Israel, for the Church and for our own lives.
