As Ourselves
Love your neighbor as yourself.
-Matthew 22:39
God’s Desire
1 Corinthians 1:9
Love your neighbor as yourself.
SELF-LOVE: -- WHAT IT IS NOT:
Acceptance of sinfulness
Affirmation of brokenness
Aggrandizing of self
SELF-LOVE: -- A Moral Virtue
Text: 1 Corinthians 1:4-9
I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
God’s desire is to be in a personal relationship with you!
-Created in His image
-Destined for His glory
-Adopted as His child
If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all.
-J.I. Packer
God has always expressed His desire to dwell with His children.
“Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.”
-Exodus 25:8
“I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.”
-Leviticus 26:12
What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it–the fact that He knows me. I am graven on the palms of His hands; I am never out of His mind. All my knowledge of Him depends on His sustained initiative in knowing me. I know Him because He first knew me and continues to know me.
–J.I. Packer
God’s desire for relationship with you resulted in Him sending His own Son to show you THE WAY!
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”
-John 1:14
God loves you and invites you to reciprocate His love!
