Being Who God Made You To Be: Love
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness…
Galatians 5:22WHO ARE YOU BECOMING?
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6
Are you going to be passive in the process or are you going to be purposeful?
Are you going to be intentional, or is it just going to be accidental?
Agape Love
Loving someone no matter who they are, no matter what they’ve done, and no matter how you feel. Nomatter who they are.
Worldly Love vs Agape Love
The world’s love is based on a feeling, but this kind of love …is based on a decision.
The world’s love is based on conditions, but this kind of love is committed.
The world’s love is selfish, this kind of love is sacrificial.
The world’s love—tribal, largely tribal and transactional.
I’ll love you as long as we see these things the same way; as long as we’re on the same page over here. But if you’re different from me, if you have different perspectives or views, if you’re too different from me, then not only do I not love you, I…I don’t want to have anything to do with you.
The world’s love says, If you love me, you’ll tell me I’m right, Agape love says, I will love you enough to tell you the truth.
World’s love says, If you love me, you’ll agree with me. Agape love says, I will do something harder: I will love you even when we disagree. I’ll love you enough to disagree with you. And so, it’s a different kind of love
TRUTH to take Home
It’s not a List of self-improvement, it’s a list of Spirit-empowerment.
Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of theflesh…Don’t be foolish.
Galatians 3:3
Two lanes you can go on the path to being who God made you
Self-Improvement path Self-improvement, of course, focuses on self.
Spirit-Empowerment path The Spirit-empowerment approach, keyword is Spirit, it’s just recognition that these things do matter.
KEY
It all comes from the Holy Spirit not what I do ,comes with relationship as I walk with the spirit
“Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”
Galatians 5:25
