What Is True Love?Sample

Conclusion

Considering all that we have read and studied and contemplated these past several days, does your heart long to know true love and to truly love the Lord?! We need the Lord. He is the only one who can show us what true love is and how to let go of the sin that seems to cling so closely.

Leaving the self behind and putting to death the flesh is a lifelong task. It means DAILY we must put off our own ways and “walk it out by faith.” We must "Take the Truth to Heart" and "Bring the Truth to Life!" Put off the lies of the flesh, the devil, and the world and put on the truth of God’s Word by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Let us aside the ways of this world and enjoy the joys and presence of Christ, the more our appetite for Christ will grow. We will desire to leave our old ways and cleave to the comforts and ways of Christ and know the true joys and true pleasures of true love.

God will work in and through us, as He fulfills His purpose for us as stated so clearly in the Westminster Catechism: What is the chief end of man? Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.
