Awakened to Deliver – The Fruit of the Spirit, Day 2: God’s Love as the Source of All True Love
Key Verse: 1 John 4:19 (NASB 2020) – “We love, because He first loved us.”
Episode Highlights
• God’s Love is the Source of All Love – Our ability to love comes from God’s love for us. We can only love others because He first loved us.
• The Nature of God’s Love – Unlike human love, which can be conditional and fleeting, God’s love is unconditional, sacrificial, eternal, and transformative.
• Love Demonstrated Through Christ – Jesus’ death on the cross is the ultimate example of God’s selfless love (Romans 5:8, John 3:16).
• How God’s Love Changes Us – When we receive His love, it softens our hearts, removes fear, and enables us to love beyond our own strength.
• Loving Others with Spirit-Filled Love – God’s love equips us to forgive, serve, and even love those who are difficult.
