ABIDING IN THE FATHER’S LOVE
John 15:9-17
MESSAGE NOTES – MAY 5, 2024
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.” – John 15:9 (NIV)
“Every thought we hold, every decision we make, every action we take … all of these things, little by little, are shaping us into some kind of being. We are being shaped into either the wholeness of the image of Christ or a horrible destructive caricature of that image … we become either agents of God’s healing and liberating grace or carriers of the sickness of the world. The direction of our spiritual growth infuses all we do with imitations of either life or death” –
Robert Mulholland, Invitation to a Journey
How do we remain in the love of God?
“…But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.”” – Luke 15:20b (NIV)
Be grafted with God
Be pruned by God
Bear fruit with God
1) Be grafted with God
“…But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.”” – Luke 15:20b (NIV)
2) Be pruned by God
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. – John 15:10
3) Bear fruit with God
“ Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me”. – John 15:4
We let God love us into people of love. – John Mark Comer
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. – Galatians 5:22-23 NIV
