Signed Off With Caution

The pastor concluded with four key observations for reflection and application. 1. Remember Our Love for God is Monotheistic. We worship one true and living God who purposed His saving grace for sinners. We must never forget how dead we were in our sins and how great His grace is to us. Forgetting this diminishes our perspective and love for Him. • Remember Our Love for God is Trinitarian. This one God works out His grace through three glorious persons: The Father planned our redemption, the Son accomplished it on the cross, and the Holy Spirit applies it to our hearts. Understanding the depth of this coordinated, loving work should cause us to love God more profoundly—not just with a base "liking," but with a deep, abiding love. • Remember Our Love for God is Prime. The effect of God's grace should produce both a rudimentary love (phileo) and a profound love (agape). Our love for God must be the primary, foundational reality that informs and impacts everything we do and say. When we fail, this primary love should turn us back to Christ again and again. • Remember Our Love for God is Consequential. The stakes are eternal. One who has no love for Christ is eternally accursed. This truth should produce two things in us: A holy fear and humility, recognizing we did nothing to deserve God's grace. A genuine concern and urgency to pray for and share the gospel with those who do not know Christ, because the gospel brings real hope and has the power to take dead sinners and make them alive. We must not lose heart in praying for and encouraging one another in the faith.
