Episode 24: Learning to Love as We Have Been Loved

 Series: Week 5 – Moral Influence (Love That Changes Us)

 In this episode of The Encouraging Word, Pastor Eric reflects on how receiving divine love teaches us to love others. The cross is not only something we receive — it becomes something we reflect.

 As we experience mercy, we become merciful. As we receive grace, we extend grace. As we are loved, we learn to love.

 The transformation of the heart naturally expresses itself in the transformation of relationships.
