Loving Like Jesus
Intro: All About Love
Dr. Scott McKee
Mark 12:28-34
28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[b] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[c] There is no commandment greater than these.”
32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
1 Corinthians 14:1

…love comes from God…because God is love.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

2. Love is an action not just an emotion.

Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
3. Love is a habit.

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
