The Good Life: Fervent, Unfailing Love 1 Peter 1:22-2:3

Fervent, Unfailing Love For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:12–13

Fervent, Unfailing Love Love God’s people What is love? – philadelphia – agape – without “play-acting”

Fervent, Unfailing Love Love God’s people Let love (agape) be genuine (unhypocritical). Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection (philadelphia). Outdo one another in showing honor. Romans 12:9-10

Fervent, Unfailing Love Love God’s people What is love? – philadelphia – agape – without “play-acting” – intentional – fervent, unremitting

Fervent, Unfailing Love Love God’s people What is love? Why love? – You are regenerated – You belong to one another

Fervent, Unfailing Love Love God’s people Long for God’s word – Lay aside all that spoils love malice deceit hypocrisies envies slanders

Fervent, Unfailing Love Love God’s people Long for God’s word – Lay aside all that spoils love – Long for all that kindles love Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual (“appropriate”) service of worship.
