1 A SIMPLE NT THEOLOGY OF LOVE
2 INTRODUCTION PSA Tuesday is Valentine s Day. What does the Bible teach about love? What is the value of a survey study of love?
3 SURVEY AREA #1 THE GOSPEL & LOVE We do not naturally love God; we hate Him. God lovingly pursued us while we were in our sin. The substitutionary atonement of Christ was the most loving act of history! Key Point: The gospel turns God haters into God lovers. God could not do anything more loving than bringing individuals into a loving relationship with Himself.
4 SURVEY AREA #2 JESUS TEACHING ON LOVE Matt. 22:37-40 The Great Commandments o Key Principle: The commands of God can be summarized by (and are dependent on) two primary commands 1) Love God whole-heartedly and 2) Love your neighbor as yourself. o How do you love God whole-heartedly? o Who is your neighbor? o How do you love your neighbor as yourself?
5 SURVEY AREA #2 JESUS TEACHING ON LOVE John 13:34-35 Love One Another Key Principle: Our love for one another authenticates our claim as true disciples of Jesus Christ. Matthew 5:43-48 Love Your Enemy Key Principle: Well-rounded or complete Christianity loves the unlovely.
6 SURVEY AREA #3 JOHN S TEACHING ON LOVE Principle #1 Christian love begins with God. I John 4:7 By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him I John 4:19 We love, because He first loved us.
7 SURVEY AREA #3 JOHN S TEACHING ON LOVE Principle #2 Christians (do) love God and others. I John 4:8 The one who does not love, does not know God, for God is love. I John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
8 SURVEY AREA #3 JOHN S TEACHING ON LOVE Principle #3 Christians don t just say they love others, they practically live out their love for others. I John 3:17-18 But whoever has the world s goods and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? (18) Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
9 SURVEY AREA #3 JOHN S TEACHING ON LOVE Principle #4 Christians do not love the world. I John 2:15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
10 SURVEY AREA #3 JOHN S TEACHING ON LOVE Principle #5 Christians demonstrate their love for God by obeying His commandments. I John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.
11 SURVEY AREA #4 PAUL S TEACHING ON LOVE I Corinthians 13:1-7 Key Principle: Even remarkable demonstrations of spiritual or religious giftedness are of little value unless motivated by and accompanied by love. Key Principle: True Christian love is identifiable it has objective marks.
12 SURVEY AREA #4 PAUL S TEACHING ON LOVE God s Love vs. Self Love by Ken Collier Suffers Long (vs.4) God s Love sacrificing self to wait for God s way and timing; is patient; has the divine power to wait; is longfused; doesn t retaliate even when it has the power; gives to others not what they deserve but what God gave us.
13 SURVEY AREA #4 PAUL S TEACHING ON LOVE God s Love vs. Self Love by Ken Collier Suffers Long (vs.4) Self Love desires own way and own timing; suffers if can t have its way now!; is impatient; resents any departure from own schedule; won t wait for God to work; snaps at people. I want it this way, and I want it now! I will teach him a lesson he won t soon forget!
14 SURVEY AREA #4 PAUL S TEACHING ON LOVE God s Love vs. Self Love by Ken Collier Envieth Not (vs.4) God s Love sacrificing self to cheer for or weep with others; does not boil, seethe, or stew ; is content with God s control; doesn t compare for the purpose of looking down on or up to.
15 SURVEY AREA #4 PAUL S TEACHING ON LOVE God s Love vs. Self Love by Ken Collier Envieth Not (vs.4) Self Love is envious; boils, seethes; laughs when others weep; weeps when others laugh; resents and wants what others have; wants to be what others are; is displeased by prosperity of others; judges others worthiness by comparing it with his own. It s not fair! I should have that.
16 SURVEY AREA #5 LOVE AND MARRIAGE Christian husbands are commanded to love their wives. IMPORTANT: When a husband loves his wife sacrificially, exclusively, unendingly and joyfully, he faithfully pictures Christ s love for the church. Older women are commanded to teach younger women how to love their husbands.
17 SURVEY AREA #5 LOVE AND MARRIAGE Concrete Descriptions of Love by Paul Tripp o #4 Love is being lovingly honest and humbly approachable in times of misunderstanding, and being more committed to unity and love than you are to winning, accusing, or being right.
18 SURVEY AREA #5 LOVE AND MARRIAGE Concrete Descriptions of Love by Paul Tripp o #9 Love is being a good student of your spouse, looking for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs so that in some way you can remove the burden, support them as they carry it, or encourage them along the way.

When we entertain the idea of testing the spirits we might conjure up thoughts of grading on the curve or the old 70-percent or better is passing. However in these verses the test is to see whether the
John puts this test out there; do we know God and he gives three ways to know or test whether we know God or not.
