OUTLINE:
Lk 14:26
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.”
1Co 14:33
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
The Context of 1Co 14:33
God is not in the business of spreading confusion/chaos/strife in the churches; man is.
Col 1:13
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.
Caution Regarding Your Understanding of Sanctification
You’ve got to make the distinction about God’s PROMISES and your current ABILITIES. If you don’t, you will become discouraged.
Transcendental Love
You don’t arrive at godly love through emotional drivers; you arrive at godly love through learning God’s Word with the help of the Holy Spirit. Experiencing godly love is a function of sanctification, which takes time.
