I Love You To Life!

Since, through God's love, the means has been provided for us to have life and have it eternally, how can that love work through us in a way to also "love others to LIFE"? How can our life impact others to bring them to Christ, the source of life?

1. Love in a way that keeps walls down! ( Matthew 5:44)
2. Love in a way that builds up! ( 1 Corinthians 8:1)
3. Love kept as the basis of teaching! ( Ephesians 4:15)
4. Love in a way that comforts! ( Philippians 2:1)
5. Love in a way that prompts action! ( 1 Thessalonians 1:3)
6. Love in a way that produces joy in others! ( Philemon 7)
7. Love in a way that reaches out to draw in! ( 1 Peter 4:8)
8. Love in a way that reveals we know we're loved and assured of our salvation! ( 1 John 4:16-18)

The list could go on and we would do well to meditate on the characteristics of love as listed in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 as well.

Paul wrote in Romans 13:8, “Let no debt remain outstanding except the CONTINUING DEBT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.” (NIV)

Let's love our families TO LIFE! Let's love our friends TO LIFE! Let's love our neighbors TO LIFE! Let's love our co-workers TO LIFE! Let us always reach out with a love that will love people TO LIFE!

Have a great day LOVING OTHERS AS GOD HAS LOVED YOU!
