He is the source of love

Sermon notes: 12/11/2006It matters to God that those who profess faith in Him love like He loves. Why?

• He is the souce of love (1 John 4:7-8) – He is love. Love began with God for God is love. God does not merely love, He is love – it is His very nature. Love is who God is and we are never more like him when we love like Him.
• Love is valued by God above all else (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)
• Love produces godly character (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
• Love has power to witness – “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:15)

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13)
