It is not our love for God;
it is God’s love for us in sending his Son
to be the way to take away our sins.

1 John 4:10

    

I preached on James chapter 2 Sunday night.  It is a great text on loving everyone as God loves them, as equals.  Verse 1 of James 2 says “My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism”.  

 

When you go out today, into the world, I want two thoughts on your mind as you decide whether to minister to those you meet:

    

        First, nothing I’ve done earned Christ’s death, it was all God’s love that sent him.

        Second, my faith is to be shared not held.

    

With those things in mind you will never keep silent about the love of God.
