Maybe title is “We Find our Win”
Love is going somewhere
“I’ve got somewhere I’ve got to be”
?Amazing Race
?Other competition to be the first one there??
First one to accomplish getting a thing built / done (?Wright brothers / other auto maker or technology maker; Edison or other person pursuing an elusive goal)
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
15 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
35 In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12 Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

*** Cf ch 4—”others’ sins will get in the way”
*** why souls? it’s where you carry personality and personal stuff… (Peter’s agenda)
Word Studies in the New Testament Chapter 1
Fervently (ἐκτενῶς). Used by Peter only, and only in this passage. He uses the kindred adjective ἐκτενής, without ceasing, in Acts 12:5, where the narrative probably came from him, and also at ch. 4:8; “fervent charity.” The words are compounded with the verb τείνω, to stretch, and signify intense strain; feeling on the rack.
Jesus pointed out that love would grow cold in teh end times, so that the culture would normalize cold-heartedness and it would be all the more improtant that we be intentional to keep hearts sincere in love (increase of lawlessness—increase of unbridled people keeping us battling with mean-spirited people and offensive behavior, getting fryustrated with teh immorality and misbehavior and social chaos, hearts will grow cold—easily angered and easily grouping in camps agains others
12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
cf made our souls holy--”you’ve gotten so much together—so don’t let this part go—take love where it was always wanting to go
*** Love testers can be your best friends—specifically, some of the most helpful, because they will clear away every false love sentiment you still cling too, falsely believing that its love, and falsely thinking that love isn’t enough to get through; which in turn will drive your energy to the only thing left—true love
10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
*** When it comes right down to it, you will be driven to experience love and have to call on the love that comes to you through Jesus—it’s not “love yourself” love that will enable you to love a difficult person or to love someone indifficult cirsumstances or through a difficult episode, rather, it’s experiencing the love of God that both fills us with the capacity to love and normalizes what real love is. As someone has said, you can’t give what you don’t have.
Thus, the implied meaning is, “You shall love your neighbor just as you are to love yourself.” Such a view seems to have come from secular psychologists (in which self-actualization is at the top of the pecking order of one’s goals). From there, it apparently made its way into Christian psychological treatises. (https://bible.org/article/self-love-biblical-matthew-2239)
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
(Re -)
The Greek particle ὡς is the primary means used to suggest such a comparison in the New Testament (and is used in ). For example, in , Jesus healed a man’s hand, “making it whole, like the other one.” The whole hand was the standard against which the now healed hand was measured. In , Jesus’ face “shone like (ὡς) the sun.” (https://bible.org/article/self-love-biblical-matthew-2239)
Peter’s concern—how are we going to manage life in a world that is increasingly hostile to everything that Jesus wants our lives to be about? The answer is not only survival, but thricing! But it’s asking the survival questino taht gets us to the thriving answer
