Keeping The Basics: Absolute Truth
1. What is absolute truth?
a quality of truth that cannot be exceeded; complete truth; unvarying and permanent truth.
2. We cannot base our life foundations on relative truth.
Subjective versus objective feelings versus facts
3. Jesus is the truth.
John 14:6 6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
4. Standing for truth means standing in freedom. John 8:32 32 And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.
Keeping The Basics: AGAPE LOVE
1. What is "Agape" Love?
Agape Love is the Love that gives to others with no regard to the consequences to itself.
2. God is Love.
1 John 4:8 8 He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.
3. Loving one another is the greatest witness of our following Jesus.
John 13:34-35
34 I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. 35 By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].
4. The definition of Love worked out practically
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way,for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
7 Love bears up under anything andeverything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].
8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]
5. The assignment of the enemy is to remove Love from our hearts.
Matthew 24:12
12 And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity.
