This document discusses the nature of love according to the Bible. It explains that God's love is shown through sending Jesus to die on the cross for humanity's sins. True love is defined as sacrificial love modeled after God's love in giving his son. Several Bible passages are cited that command Christians to love God, their neighbors, and even their enemies. The ultimate purpose of the Bible is to reveal God's love for humanity.

2. JESUS’LOVE,
YOURLOVE

3. GODLOVES
HISPEOPLE
LIKE‘THAT’

4. Like a husband to his wife.
Like a father to his child.

5. WHAT IS
REAL LOVE?

6. Loveisbiblical

7. Matthew 22:37-40
37 And He said to him, “Yous shall
love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with
all your mind. 38 And this is the the
great and first commandment.

8. Matthew 22:37-40
39 And a second is like it: You shall
love your neighbor as yourself. 40
On these two commandments
depend all the Law and the
Prophets.

9. The Bible is ultimately about God’s
love. Before it talks to us about our
love, it talks to us about God’s love.
Otherwise, the Bible becomes a series
of principles to live by instead of a
person to live for.

10. Before the Bible is a series of
principles to live by, it’s a person to
live for, a person named Jesus Christ
who is and shows, and does the love
of God.

11. SELF-LOVE

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

13. LOVE IS
SACRIFICIAL

14. John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that
He gave His only Son….

15. There is no right
understanding of love
apart from the love of God.

16. James 2:8-13
8 If you really fulfill the royal law
according to the Scripture, “You shall
love your neighbor as yourself,” you
are doing well. 9 But if you show
partiality, you are committing
sin and are convicted by the law
as transgressors.

17. James 2:8-13
10 For whoever keeps the whole law
but fails in one point has become
accountable for all of it.
11 For He who said “Do not
commit adultery” also said, ”Do
not murder.” If you do not
commit adultery but do murder,
you have become transgressor
of the law.

18. James 2:8-13
12 So speak and so act as those
who are to be judged under the law
of liberty. 13 For judgment is
without mercy to one who has
shown no mercy. Mercy
triumphs over judgment.

19. SOVEREIGN
LOVE

20. He has the power and control,
but He showed His love by
fulfilling it when He can just
violate it.

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

22. Matthew 5:17-18
17 Do not think that I have come to
abolish the Law or the Prophets; I
have not come to abolish them but
fulfill them. 18 For truly I say to
you,until heaven and earth pass
a way, not an iota, not a dot,
will pass from the Law until all
is accomplished.

23. THE ROYAL LAW

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

25. PERFECTOR
IMPERFECT?

26. Matthew 5:48
48 You therefore must be perfect, as
your heavenly Father is perfect.

27. THE FULFILMENT OF OUR
PERFECTION IS THROUGH JESUS
ALONE, not just obedience.

28. SHOWING
PARTIALITY IS
SIN

29. GOD’SHOLINESS
ANDLOVE
INTERSECTAT
THECROSS

30. 1 John 4:9-10
9 In this the love of God was made
manifest among us, that God sent
His only Son into the world, so that
we might live through Him.

31. 1 John 4:9-10
10 In this is love, not that we have
loved God but that He loved us and
sent His Son to be the propitiation
for our sins.

32. TOLERANCE
AND
TRANSFORMATION

33. The love of God teaches us to accept
“the sinner” but we don’t love to
tolerate them but to transform them.

34. JESUS LOVES YOU
