Love 1

Hello Everyone,

As Christians we believe that Christ does many different things that bring an “overflow” into our lives.

He displays His power by sending various types of outpourings.
• Christ pours out His power to transform
• Christ pours out His blessings to assist
• Christ pours out His Spirit to sanctify
• Christ pours out His grace to forgive
• Christ pours out His presence to comfort
• Christ pours out His love to encourage

The reality is that the LOVE OF CHRIST is so vast that it has to spill out of heaven.

We have been called to live in the overflow of Christ’s Divine love.

• When we live in the overflow, it changes our lives.
• The overflow changes our behavior.
• The overflow changes who we are and how we treat others.

Love is the key.

Joy is love singing.

Peace is love resting.

Long-suffering is love enduring.

Kindness is love’s touch.

Goodness is love’s character.

Faithfulness is love’s habit.

Gentleness is love’s self forgetfulness.

Self control is love holding the reigns.      Donald Barnhouse

 We see in 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 Paul’s great expression of Christ’s love:

The Value of Love   1 Corinthians 13:1-3

13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

There is nothing more important in your life than the love of Christ. It is your most valuable possession.

The agape love of Christ is your strength in times of weakness, your hope in times of despair, your glory in times of difficulty, and your best when life throws you the worst.

The love of Christ is your everything.
Greater Things Are Still To Come!
