KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:
Jamieson-Fausett-Brown on Tit 1:15 “purity”
The distinction of pure and impure is not in the things, but in the disposition of him who uses them; in opposition to “the commandments of men” (Tit 1:14), which forbade certain things as if impure intrinsically. “To the pure” inwardly, that is, those purified in heart by faith (Ac 15:9; Ro 14:20; 1Ti 4:3), all outward things are pure; all are open to, their use. Sin alone touches and defiles the soul (Mt 23:26; Lu 11:41).
True love implies sacrifice because it requires some form of giving, which always comes at a cost to the giver.
There is NO godly excuse for sin. None. Ever. God does not lay down His own law only to break it because you’re acting pathetic and trying to justify sin.
“continue” – from meno – to stay (in a given place, state, relation or expectancy) — abide, continue, dwell, endure, be present, remain, stand, tarry (for); contains the idea of permanency
Philadelphia love is a type of love, not necessarily an amplitude.
