Living Inside Out - Love

1 Corinthians 13:13

1 Corinthians 13:13 “Now these three remain – faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

1. What is love?

There are popular misconceptions about what love is.

  • Love is a feeling.
  • Love is uncontrollable.
  • God says –
  • Love is a matter of choice. Colossians 3:14.
  • Love is a matter of conduct. 1 John 3:18.

Agape love is unconditional love.

2. How to love someone you don’t like.

1. Experience God’s love yourself.

Ephesians 3:17-18 (LB); 1 John 4:19

2. Forgive those who’ve hurt you. Colossians 3:13.

3. Think loving thoughts. Philippians 2:4-5 (LB)

4. Begin acting in a loving way. Luke 6:27-28.

Love them; do good; bless them; pray for them; expect the best from them. 1 Corinthians 13:7 (LB); Revelation 2:4-5.

Ways to rekindle a love that has died:

  • Remember.
  • Repent. 1 Corinthians 13:4.
  • Do the things you did at first.

Two absolutes in building a relationship:

  • Commit yourself totally to Jesus Christ.
  • Commit yourself unreservedly to your mate.
