Words to Live By: Love (Part II)

January 07, 2024

Pastor Nate Roschen

This past week, we talked about Christian love, defining and distinguishing it from how we typically consider “love” within our society. Having a working understanding of love is foundational to Christian belief and practice. This week, we’ll discuss love as a command. In John 13:35, Jesus told His disciples: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Love is not merely an aspirational Christian virtue; it is to be part of the definition for what a Christian is. It is part and parcel to our faith. What is incredible about Jesus is that He does not simply spur us on to take radical action, He models these actions for us. Join us as we explore love, not as a mere nicety, but as a word to live by.
