Take-Home Principle:
To love as Jesus loved, I will cultivate His love in my life and demonstrate it through concrete actions.
A. Discovery Questions
- What does God command us to do in verse 23?
- According to verses 11 to 18, how are we expected to love one another as children of God?
B. Understanding Questions
- How is love described in the passage?
- In relation to loving others, our hearts can either condemn or liberate us (v.19-23). What happens when our heart condemns us? What happens when it does not?
C. Application Questions
- What evidence of genuine love for others do you see in your life? When was the last time you sacrificed your time, energy, and resources for others? (Note: You may affirm “love in action” as experienced in your discipleship group and immediate family).
- What action steps will you take this week to love like Jesus?
