John Hagee - Sermon: The Love of God. America and the nations of the world will only survive when we begin to show the love of Christ to one another. There are two commandments that capture the entirety of the Bible. Love the Lord your God with all your heart…and love your neighbor as yourself. Life’s greatest happiness is to be convinced that you are loved.

David Jeremiah (February-17-2024) Daily Devotional: Love Like God Loves - Turning Point. 

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. - Ephesians 4:32

 Recommended Reading: Colossians 3:12-15 - CHARACTER OF THE NEW MAN - 12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

 
Jesus was a Jew, so when He taught, He used typically Jewish literary styles. For example, He used comparisons for purposes of illustration. In Matthew 13 there are eight kingdom parables, seven of which compare the kingdom of heaven to ordinary things: agriculture, seeds, treasure, a fishing net, and the like. Jesus illustrated something complex by comparing it to something familiar.

The apostle Paul also used a comparison to illustrate how we are to forgive others. We are to forgive others “as God in Christ forgave you.” The question then becomes, how did God in Christ forgive us? He forgave us unconditionally, willingly, generously, permanently, graciously, completely, sacrificially...and the list goes on. That means we are to forgive others the same way. If that sounds daunting, it is. But it also provides insight into the depth of God’s love for us and the love He expects us to extend to others in the form of forgiveness.

As God forgives others, so must we. Rather than resentment, let forgiveness be our response to any who have offended us.

True forgiveness breaks a man, and he must forgive. - D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

TD Jakes (November-29-2023) Daily Devotional: Prioritizing God's Love Over Personal Ego.

Bible Quote: "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty." - 1 Corinthians 1:27

The core message here is a powerful reminder that our spiritual journey and service are not about personal accolades or recognition. It's a call to humility, emphasizing that the focus of our faith should not be on our gifts, titles, or recognition, but on God's love and purpose.

Paul's teachings, particularly in addressing the Corinthian church, highlight the pitfalls of allowing carnality to intertwine with spiritual gifts. When gifts are possessed without the necessary character to wield them responsibly, it leads to a distortion of their purpose. The danger lies not in the possession of gifts but in the lack of spiritual maturity to handle them.

The argument that gifts, talents, and titles can take one through doors where their character cannot sustain them is a profound observation. It underscores the necessity of developing a character that matches or exceeds our spiritual gifts. A lack of this balance often results in conflicts and setbacks, despite the presence of talent or spiritual abilities.

In the midst of religious debates and theological squabbles, as seen on social media and other platforms, the essential message of Christianity often gets lost. Arguments over doctrines, practices, and traditions overshadow the fundamental truth of the Gospel - that God's love extends to all, regardless of our human differences or disagreements.

The 'heart of the matter' is God's unconditional love, as expressed through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. This love transcends theological disagreements, personal preferences, and cultural practices. It's a universal invitation to all, irrespective of background, status, or past mistakes.

Prayer: Lord, help us to keep our focus on the heart of the matter – Your unconditional love and sacrifice. Remind us that our spiritual journey is not about personal recognition or showcasing our gifts, but about living out Your love and sharing it with others. Teach us to develop a character that reflects Your grace, and guide us to use our gifts humbly and wisely for Your glory. In our interactions and discussions, may we always remember the core of our faith – Your love for every 'whosoever' who believes in You. Amen.

Charles Stanley (November-18-2023) Daily Devotional: The Love of God

We didn’t earn the love God has for us, and that’s why we can never lose it.

1 John 4:7-21 - Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. If someone says, ``I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

 

Watch David Jeremiah Sermon - God's Love Never Quits. Involving a prophet and a prostitute, it’s probably the most unlikely love story in all of Scripture. But within the book of Hosea is a beautiful picture of God’s boundless love for us. Dr. David Jeremiah sheds light on the rock-solid assurance we have in our Father’s unfaltering love.
