WE LOVE GOD BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US. AS WE ARE INVITED INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH THE FINISHED WORK OF JESUS ON THE CROSS, WE GROW IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HIS LOVE THROUGH THE WORK OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT. AS THE SPIRIT GROWS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF GOD’S LOVE TOWARD US, WE GROW IN OUR UNDERSTANDING AND ABILITY TO LOVE HIM WITH EVERYTHING WE ARE.
LOVING OTHERS
WE LOVE OTHERS AS GOD LOVES US. AS WE GROW IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, THE SPIRIT CAUSES US TO GROW IN LOVE TOWARDS THOSE HE HAS INTENTIONALLY PLACED IN OUR LIVES
MAKING DISCIPLES
WE OBEY CHRIST’S COMMAND TO MAKE DISCIPLES, TEACHING OTHERS TO BE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS AND BE CONFORMED INTO HIS IMAGE.
