ॲप मिळवाCatechism: God's Loveनमुना
When sin entered the world, it broke everything beautiful, including our understanding of love. In the world’s eyes, “love” is just a feeling that centers on meeting our own needs, instead of a choice to meet the needs of others.
God’s love is radically different: it’s not just about me and what I want; it’s about God and what he wants for me. Loving others means obeying God and seeking the well-being of the people around me. It might not sound romantic, but according to the Bible, it’s the only path to true joy. And if I’m not loving this way, I have to ask myself: do I even know God?
Read 1 John 4:7-21
Reflection Questions:
- This passage says that perfect love casts out fear. What motivates you to obey God? Do you obey God out of fear or love? How would a shift in your perspective change your relationship with God and others?
- Describe the connection between loving God and loving others. Is one possible without the other?
- Is there anyone you struggle to love? Ask God to help you show love to that person. Look for practical ways you can demonstrate love to them this week.
