“Love Revealed”
Reveal - demonstrate.
Romans 5:8 NKJV But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Revealed by giving.
John 3:16 NKJV For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Revealed by paying the price.
I John 4:9–10 NKJV In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 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.
Revealed by sacrifice.
John 15:13 NKJV Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
This proves your worth!
Revealed by covering others.
Proverbs 10:12 (NKJV) Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.
Colossians 2:13–14 NKJV And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Love is revealed in forgiven people.
Luke 7:47 NKJV "Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
Love is revealed in forgiving people.
Proverbs 17:9 NKJV He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends.
1 Peter 4:8 (NKJV) And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
Prodigal son covered by Father
Do I cover or expose?
Intercede or accuse?
