    2026-08-09 - Biblical Love - 1 John 4:7-21, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (Jon Munch)

    Deacon Jon Munch leads us in formulating a biblical definition of love, which originates from God, since “God is love,” and reminds us that believers are commanded to love one another.  We observe that the New Testament primarily refers to agape love, a deliberate, selfless, and sacrificial love that is based on choice rather than emotion.  We examine the qualities of biblical love such as patience, kindness, hope, and endurance. It rejects envy, pride, selfishness, provocation, and delight in wrongdoing. Biblical love seeks the good of others, assumes the best where possible, confronts sin with truth, and remains steadfast even in difficult circumstances. We conclude by recognizing that we fall short of perfect agape love, but God meets us where we are and teaches us to love more like Christ.  (1 John 4:7-21, John 11:36, John 3:16, Matthew 19:19, Matthew 5:44, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a, Galatians 5:22, 2 Peter 3:9, 2 Timothy 2:24, 1 Peter 2:20, Galatians 5:22-23, Romans 2:4, 2 Corinthians 6:3-10, Colossians 3:12, Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:14, Numbers 5:29-30, Numbers 25:10-13, Colossians 3:5, Ephesians 5:5, Romans 12:3, Proverbs 16:18, Proverbs 22:4, James 4:10, Micah 6:8, Philippians 2:3, Philippians 2:3-8, 1 John 4:17, Matthew 5:43-44, Romans 12:14-21, 1 Thessalonians 5:15, 1 Peter 3:9, 1 Peter 4:8, Leviticus 19:18, Proverbs 20:22, Proverbs 25:21-22, Proverbs 2:14, Hebrews 12:4-11, Proverbs 17:9, Acts 26:6, Acts 28:20, Romans 5:4-5, Matthew 24:12-13, John 21:15-17)
