Love Is | Everything | John Mitcham
SOUL TATTOO: LOVE IS …The key to everything.
In our quest to understand and be understood, it is easy to lose the meaning by getting lost in translation.
- Words, over time can morph into an idea that can confuse us.
WHAT IS “LOVE” ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES?
“What’s love got to do with it?”
Love has EVERYTHING to do with it!
- What is the single greatest desire God has for all of mankind?
- 2 Peter 3:9 (NIV) 9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
- What is the single greatest event that leads to the fulfilment of God’s will?
- Luke 15:7 (NIV) 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
- Why did Jesus come, to suffer and die?
- John 3:16-18 (NIV) 16“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
John 13:34-35 (NIV) 34“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Matthew 16:26 (NIV) What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
LOVE NOT ONLY MEANS SOMETHING, IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NIV) 1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
