John 15:7 - "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

John 15:11 - "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."

Joy goes far beyond a smile. 

We speak of sharing the gospel as and obligation and a commandment to fulfill, and it is.  But sharing the gospel is so much more than that - it is also a source of great joy. 

The moment of salvation is inexpressibly joyous.

Luke 10:20 – “…rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

Jonah 3:1-10 

John 15:10 - "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."

John 15:11 - "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."

Let's discover the definition of real love, not in the pages of poetry or in the lyrics of a song, but through God and His Word. 

The love of God is the greatest thing in the world. 

The single most important thing Christian’s can learn while on earth – is to learn how to love. 

That’s one of the reasons God created us – To learn His love, and to learn to love others in that same way.

Galatians 5:22 - "But the fruit of the Spirit is love..."
