Done with Love

“Everything Must be Done with Love”

1. What one characteristic must be present in everything we do? Everything should be done with love (1 Corinthians 16:14).

2. How does God show His love for us? First of all, God is love (1 John 4:7-10) and showed it by sending His only begotten Son (John 3:16).

3. How does Christ show His love for us? He lay down His life for us (John 15:13,14).

4. How do we show our love for Him? When we keep His commandments, He knows we love Him (John 14:15). This involves an action; love must be done in deed and in truth (1 John 3:18). When we love one another, we love Him (1 John 4:7).

5. Do we love others by preaching the gospel? Certainly! Jesus commanded the gospel to be preached to every creature (Mark 16:15-16). It is God’s power to save (Romans 1:16), and it is the truth! The truth sets us free (John 8:32), and it is Christ Himself (John 14:6) and God’s word (John 17:17). Paul said we are to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15,16).

6. What chapter teaches us the most about love? 1 Corinthians 13 does! Read it!
