Our Love for God
Scripture References: Deuteronomy 6:1-25, 1 John 2:8-26, Ephesians 2:14-21
From Series: "Love"
‘Love is love’ is such a warm and fuzzy and nice phrase. It is one of the catchphrases of our times. But what does it mean? And do we realise the inconsistency of defining a word by itself… as well as the way in which such a phrase is logically inconsistent (Is my love for ice-cream the same as my love for my wife? Is the love of Jesus the same as the love of Amnon for Tamar?)… as well as the way such a phrase works as a catch-all justification for any form/type/expression of love that I find acceptable/desirable? We need some clarity on ‘love’. And so we are spending time over the next four weeks looking at love, four ways: God’s love for us, our love for God, our love for each other (as God’s mob), and the love God’s mob has for the world.
