God loves us so much that we actually need to pray for more ability to absorb His love, which is best displayed at the cross. What changes in us, when we better absorb God's love? 1. We become willing to take action based on the promises of God, because we believe Him and hope in Him. (v.41-44.) 2. We become convinced of the truth that freedom is only found in obeying God's law. (v.45) 3. We develop a passion for God's Word. (v.46-48) How do we take in God's love? Ephesians 3:18 Who taunts Christians? Do we have an answer? (see v.42) Is.14:1-5 What would it take for us to see obedience as freeing? Rom. 8:20-22 What propels us to speak of God's love? Acts 4:20 2Cor. 5:11-15
