Loving as We Have Been Loved
What does it look like to love people the way God loves them? This week Pastor Josh walked us through Romans 9:1-5 and the staggering depth of Paul's love for his kinsmen — a love so consuming he would have willingly traded his own salvation for theirs.
Paul's grief was not passing sympathy. It was permanent, relentless sorrow for those rejecting Jesus. That kind of love does not come from us — it comes from God. John 15:13 and 1 John 3:16 remind us that true love is selfless, unconditional, and willing to lay everything down.
The question Pastor Josh left us with is a hard one: Do you love people the way Jesus loves you? When you see someone hurting or lost, is your first concern their salvation? If not, it is time to get honest with God and let Him change your heart.
Join us next Sunday as we continue in Romans 9.
