SOME
TRAITS
OF
LOVE
1 John 4:7-11 Beloved, let us love one
another, for love is of God; and everyone
who loves is born of God and knows God. (8)
He who does not love does not know God,
for God is love. (9) In this the love of God
was manifested toward us, that God has
sent His only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through Him. (10) In this
is love, not that we loved God, but that He
loved us and sent His Son to be the
propitiation for our sins. (11) Beloved, if God
so loved us, we also ought to love one
another.
GOD’S LOVE
A. The essence of God's Nature "is love."
B. Love with Him is not an attribute, it is what He "is."
C. We need to have that same nature.
D. We will look at seven traits of love.
1. Compassion?
2. Kindness?
3. Grace?
4. Mercy?
5. Sacrifice?
6. Pity?
7. Sympathy?
I. "COMPASSION" IS THE HEART OF LOVE.
A. Luke 15:20 And he arose and came to his
father. But when he was still a great way off, his
father saw him and had compassion, and ran
and fell on his neck and kissed him.
B. When the father saw the prodigal, his heart
was moved with compassion.
C. His inner being was stirred to its depths, and
showed itself in the kiss of forgiveness, the
clasp of affection, the robe of adornment, the
shoes of protection, the ring of honor, the feast
of provision, the words of appreciation, and
the joy of gladness.
II. "KINDNESS" IS THE ACT OF LOVE.
A. "The Kindness," as well as the love of God,
"appeared". - Titus 3:1-5 Remind them to be
subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be
ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one,
to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all
men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish,
disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and
pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and
hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and
the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5
not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to His mercy He saved us, through the
washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy
Spirit,
II. "KINDNESS" IS THE ACT OF LOVE.
B. When David expressed his regard to Mephibosheth, he did
it for Jonathan's sake, and showed his kindness in what he
did for him. - 2 Samuel 9:3-7 Then the king said, "Is there
not still someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show
the kindness of God?" And Ziba said to the king, "There is
still a son of Jonathan who is lame in his feet." 4 So the king
said to him, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king,
"Indeed he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in
Lo Debar." 5 Then King David sent and brought him out of
the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar. 6
Now when Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of
Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and prostrated
himself. Then David said, "Mephibosheth?" And he
answered, "Here is your servant!" 7 So David said to him,
"Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for
Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the
land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my
table continually.“
III. "GRACE" IS THE LIBERALITY OF LOVE.
A. Grace does not look for rewards from the object
upon which it shows its favor, but gives
everything for nothing, when the recipient does
not deserve anything.
B. Grace came through Christ, - John 1:17 For the
law was given through Moses, but grace and truth
came through Jesus Christ.
C. Grace enriches those who were poor. 2
Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for
your sakes He became poor, that you through His
poverty might become rich.
IV. "MERCY" IS THE DISPOSITION OF LOVE.
A. God’s love produced mercy, - Ephesians 2:4-5 But
God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love
with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead
in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ
(by grace you have been saved),
B. We not only enjoy God’s love and mercy but we
should pass it on to others. - Jude 1:21-23 keep
yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy
of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And on
some have compassion, making a distinction; 23 but
others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,
hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
V. "SACRIFICE" IS THE SERVICE OF LOVE.
A. When the saints are exhorted to "walk in love,"
they are pointed to Him who " loved us and
given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice
to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." Ephesians
5:2
B. God is pleased with our sacrifices to Him and for
others. - Hebrews 13:15-16 Therefore by Him let
us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to
God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to
His name. 16 But do not forget to do good and to
share, for with such sacrifices God is well
pleased.
VI. "PITY" IS THE HELP OF LOVE.
A. God's pity shows itself in help and sympathy. - Isaiah 63:9
In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the Angel of His
Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He
redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them All
the days of old.
B. Humans do not always pity one another and help. -
Matthew 18:23-35 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like
a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his
servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one
was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25
But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that
he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had,
and that payment be made. 26 The servant therefore fell
down before him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me,
and I will pay you all.' 27 Then the master of that servant
was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave
him the debt. >>>
VI. "PITY" IS THE HELP OF LOVE.
28 But that servant went out and found one of his fellow
servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands
on him and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you
owe!' 29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged
him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' 30
And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he
should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what
had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told
their master all that had been done. 32 Then his master, after
he had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave
you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Should you not
also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I
had pity on you?' 34 And his master was angry, and delivered
him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to
him. 35 So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of
you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his
trespasses.“
VII. “SYMPATHY” IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF LOVE.
A. Colossians 3:12-14 Therefore, as the elect of God,
holy and beloved, put on tender mercies,
kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13
bearing with one another, and forgiving one
another, if anyone has a complaint against
another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also
must do. 14 But above all these things put on love,
which is the bond of perfection.
B. 1 John 3:16-17 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?

B. Kindness?
C. Grace?
D. Mercy?
E. Sacrifice?
F. Pity?
G. Sympathy?

some traits of love

  • 2. 1 John 4:7-11 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. (8) He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. (9) In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. (10) In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (11) Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
  • 3. GOD’S LOVE A. The essence of God's Nature "is love." B. Love with Him is not an attribute, it is what He "is." C. We need to have that same nature. D. We will look at seven traits of love. 1. Compassion? 2. Kindness? 3. Grace? 4. Mercy? 5. Sacrifice? 6. Pity? 7. Sympathy?
  • 4. I. "COMPASSION" IS THE HEART OF LOVE. A. Luke 15:20 And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. B. When the father saw the prodigal, his heart was moved with compassion. C. His inner being was stirred to its depths, and showed itself in the kiss of forgiveness, the clasp of affection, the robe of adornment, the shoes of protection, the ring of honor, the feast of provision, the words of appreciation, and the joy of gladness.
  • 5. II. "KINDNESS" IS THE ACT OF LOVE. A. "The Kindness," as well as the love of God, "appeared". - Titus 3:1-5 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
  • 6. II. "KINDNESS" IS THE ACT OF LOVE. B. When David expressed his regard to Mephibosheth, he did it for Jonathan's sake, and showed his kindness in what he did for him. - 2 Samuel 9:3-7 Then the king said, "Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show the kindness of God?" And Ziba said to the king, "There is still a son of Jonathan who is lame in his feet." 4 So the king said to him, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king, "Indeed he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar." 5 Then King David sent and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar. 6 Now when Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and prostrated himself. Then David said, "Mephibosheth?" And he answered, "Here is your servant!" 7 So David said to him, "Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.“
  • 7. III. "GRACE" IS THE LIBERALITY OF LOVE. A. Grace does not look for rewards from the object upon which it shows its favor, but gives everything for nothing, when the recipient does not deserve anything. B. Grace came through Christ, - John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. C. Grace enriches those who were poor. 2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
  • 8. IV. "MERCY" IS THE DISPOSITION OF LOVE. A. God’s love produced mercy, - Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), B. We not only enjoy God’s love and mercy but we should pass it on to others. - Jude 1:21-23 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction; 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
  • 9. V. "SACRIFICE" IS THE SERVICE OF LOVE. A. When the saints are exhorted to "walk in love," they are pointed to Him who " loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." Ephesians 5:2 B. God is pleased with our sacrifices to Him and for others. - Hebrews 13:15-16 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
  • 10. VI. "PITY" IS THE HELP OF LOVE. A. God's pity shows itself in help and sympathy. - Isaiah 63:9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them All the days of old. B. Humans do not always pity one another and help. - Matthew 18:23-35 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' 27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. >>>
  • 11. VI. "PITY" IS THE HELP OF LOVE. 28 But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!' 29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' 30 And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?' 34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. 35 So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.“
  • 12. VII. “SYMPATHY” IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF LOVE. A. Colossians 3:12-14 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. B. 1 John 3:16-17 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?
