This week we are “Launching the Love” in Tallahassee.
We will be practicing 7 attributes of God and love found in 1 Corinthians 13.
As a reminder of why we are doing this - it’s all about His glory!
As a Christian when you accept what Jesus did for you on the cross, He saves you, but it doesn’t end there, if it did He would take you to Heaven immediately. He sets you apart, makes you godly, holy, we say he sanctifies you by conforming you to His image. This is the process of being made new, learning to die to yourself, picking up your cross, becoming like Him. He does this to send you out in the world as His ambassador, His witness to show the world what He is like to bring more people to Him, which brings Him more glory.
God’s purpose in saving you is to make you godly, which is for your good and also for His glory.
So in every situation in our lives He will turn it for good by making us like Christ, so that the world will know what He is like.
So this week we want you to put yourself in a situation where you do what God commands, so that you will be reminded that it’s about Him and not you. And as you are in that situation you let it change you to be more like Him, and then let it reflect who God is.
The Great Commandment says we are to love God…we do that by obeying what He has asked us to do 2 John 1:6, “Love means doing what God has commanded”…that brings Him glory.
He uses those situations to makes us in His image, which is to our good, which is all that matters - “If you are a follower of Christ Jesus all that matters is your faith that makes you love others.” Galatians 5:6
As we’re made in His image we become His ambassadors or witnesses. “Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world.” John 17:18
So many times we preach a “false Gospel” with our lives, we take a bad image of who He is into a world that desparately needs Him.
“Launching the Love” has a “3 step process” basically; reminding us what God has done FOR us, what He is doing IN us, and what He wants to do THROUGH us, to bring Him Glory!
Today (Monday) is all about putting ourselves into situations that teach us patience!
Love is patient or “longsuffering”!
God is…compassionate and gracious…slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, Ex 34:6
“…even though God has the right to show his anger and his power, he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls” Romans 9:22
We should…be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, James 1:19
As you are in situations that require patience today be reminded of how patient He is with you, let it transform you, then be His representative to those around you!
