Love the World (3 of 3)
Series: The Three Essentials of the Faith
Tim Melton
Matthew 25:35-36, Romans 12:14-21
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world. God is our example. That is our call. That we, too, would love the world.
When we look at the example of God the Father, His love was not just in words but also in deeds. His love was declared for us by sending His Son to come to Earth. Jesus would live a perfect life. He would willingly lay down his life, on a cross, to pay for our sin, so that if we would turn from our sin and put our trust in Jesus Christ, we would be saved.
Love the World. In Scripture, we see it. In different words, in different ways.
Matthew 25 says, "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'"
In Romans 12 we read, "14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." 20 To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
We are to live like the Good Samaritan who helped the man who had been attacked and left for dead. Like Dorcas who was known ...
