KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:
We all minister to one another and encourage one another. We all NEED it, in both the giving and receiving directions, ala Rom 1:12!
Do you want to live out an ordinary life, or a supernatural one???
Anyone God puts in our path is our neighbor!!!
God’s great mercy towards us should motivate us every single day! And when we lose sight of it, or we lose appreciation for Him, we go to Him in prayer and start thanking Him for all He’s done for us/ forgiven us, so that our eyes may be opened again!
Q.- Is Jesus actually calling us to lay down our lives FOR HIM… our Friend, our best Friend??! – YES! And the way we do so is by laying down our lives for others.
Our job, our DUTY, is to obey the Lord and BE HIS FRIEND by obeying His commands. And one of His great commands is that we love one another!!
True love is not selfish. It is not self-seeking (1Cor 13). It seeks the benefit of others, even if it hurts oneself. God’s love TRULY puts others ahead of oneself (Php 2).
