self-giving

IS MY LOVE SACRIFICIAL?

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.  He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."  1 John 4:7-8Let's think deeply about these two verses that make God's kind of love (agape) in our lives the evidence of whether we belong to Him, or not.  Do we show this sacrificial love to our husband? Our children? Other believers? Those who hate us?  Remember, "it is not a feeling but a determined act of will, which always results in acts of self-giving." John MacArthurConsider this very seriously, because it is not a question to lightly pass by; we will be discussing it on Thursday morning.  See you then!
