“And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows.”

“Freely you have received; freely you should give.”

 

KEY #1 - God Made the First Move

Ephesians 1:4–5 NLT

“Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”

 

KEY #2 - Receive It then Release It

1 John 4:10 NLT

“This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”

Romans 5:5 NLT

“God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”


KEY #3 - Love Is Fearless

1 John 4:18 NLT

“Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.”

“Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”
