people, or situations in which we are given love
only if we act or behave a certain way, and move
into systems, or groups of people, or situations
in which we are loved no matter who we are or
what we do.

• Romans 7:8-11 “But sin, seizing the
opportunity afforded by the commandment,
produced in me every kind of covetous desire.
For apart from law, sin is dead. Once I was
alive apart from law; but when the
commandment came, sin sprang to life and I
died. I found that the very commandment that
was intended to bring life actually brought
death. For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded
by the commandment, deceived me, and
through the commandment put me to death.”

• Romans 8:1-4 “Therefore, there is now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life
set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the
law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the
sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the
likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he
condemned sin in sinful man in order that the righteous
requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do
not live according to the sinful nature but according to
the Spirit.”

• “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes
from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God
and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know
God, because God is love. 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. This is love: not
that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since
God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No
one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God
lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”
