09 Mar New Command To Love
Preacher Huijun - 19 June 2014
Go Deeper Into A Gospel-Directed Life
As gospel enters into our lives, it is like a yeast, working through our knowledge on all things, sensibility and will such that we can start seeing all conditions of our lives with a kingdom purpose, even the slightest matter of our lives such as eating, sleeping and talking to others. When Holy Spirit convicts us through the gospel we hear, transformation takes places from our inside, affecting everything on the outside. However, Satan is a thief that is always stealing the joy and assurance we have in God, so that we will remain disillusioned by the big and daunting things before us. But Jesus said "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Therefore, do not be deceived and continue to hold onto the truth even a little bit! Even when we have faith as small as a mustard seed, God will move mountains according to the truth we believe in. Instead of lingering in our own powerlessness, look upon the finished work on the Cross now and see how God has been helping you to this very day. Let it drive you into deep prayers and submit to the leading of God today. “To what will you look for help if you will not look to that which is stronger than yourself?” - C.S Lewis

Love is not a new topic for believers. Yet as we lead our lives, our definition of love, as God would have it, can be easily distorted, misunderstood, and instead of being a glorious tool for us to glorify God and love men, becomes experiences that is against our spirit. Let us reexamine what God means by His command to love.
Verses to Read: Jn 13:34-35, 1-5, 12-30
- Command: “Love one another”
- Promise: “Everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Our Flawed Love
- Love in our own capacity
- Our Perspectives
- Perspective of self
- Perspective of others
Love of Christ
- Humble Love
– The humble love of Jesus will propel us to love more & beyond like Him. - Love with a price
– If we choose to love but are wronged in return, Jesus will look even more real and beautiful in our love.
- Love with Authority
– Jesus has the authority to command us not because He is God, but because He is Love.
How to Love One Another?
- Be loved by God first
<1 Jn 4:19> We love because he first loved us.
<1 Jn 4:11> Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
<1 Jn 3:23> And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. - Love like Jesus Christ (acts of love)
– Give time
– Guard our speech - Intercession
– Love purposefully, not blindly
– Come out of the devil’s deceptions
– Indeed loved by God in the process
