Discerning Love
Focus:
Scriptures:
|
John 15:19 Luke 6:32 1 John 4:4-6 |
John 15:16 1 John 2:15 John 17:14 |
Points:
Both the love of the Father and the love of the world are talked about in the scriptures.
Many don't know the language of God from the world.
Those who know God know His voice.
The world will not give you God's Word, but their word.
The Word of God will give us a mind to be sanctified if we let it woo us.
Summary:
God said if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. Many say they love God, but they keep the commandments of men rather than the commandments of God. God gave us a gift called freedom. Let's not use that freedom to be free from God. The world will be judged. Anyone on its side will be going down with it. Love not the world and what it can offer. One thing it offers is fast cash, "real-time" success. It courts our human nature. If we love the world though, the love of the Father is not in us. We can't have both at the same time. God told each individual to work out his salvation with fear and trembling. The world wants you to pursue things to gratify the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life. The world is not concerned about your soul. Don't listen to the world preach a counterfeit Jesus to you. If we don't diligently study the Word of God, we'll think the world is overcoming God. We have the mastery over false prophets because we have the truth. Tell worldliness I'm through with you.
