Introduction
Denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and following Jesus means learning to live and to love as Jesus does.
Brief recap – Paul writing to church in Corinth to answer questions about gifts of the Spirit.
The greatest gift, the most excellent way (of life) is love.
Fruit of the Spirit is more important that Gifts of the Spirit.
Love being the first of the fruit of the Spirit.
No matter the gifts if you don’t have love you are not effective.
After seeing that the gift of love is greater than the other gifts of the Spirit, we look at what love is and does.

Summary:
Love is not a feeling.
Love is more than just an emotion.
Love is an attitude of the heart and soul that sees the value and worth in people, and then puts self aside to go out of the way and provide help or kindness to others.
Love is an investment of self into someone else.
Love always thinks the best of others, sees them as God sees them (created in His image, needing Jesus) looks for ways to help rather than hurt, looks for opportunities for good/kind/helpful works.
Love meets people where they are, accepts them as they are for who they are, affirms their worth, and invests in them.
In Love is the most excellent way.
In love is the first fruit of the Spirit.
In the nature of Christ.
put off old, put on new - this is the new nature.
These ideas are just words unless we connect them with situations, responses, and actions.
We really need to know what is the impact of love.
The Impact of Love
To do that we have to begin at the source of love.
Christ died for the ungodly.
God loves the sinner, provides Himself.
Nothing we do makes God love us or stop loving us.
First impact of love is our rescue.
God loves us and Jesus died for us.
Are we secure in God’s love?
God loves.
We need to understand to what level He loves us so we can also love.
Are we secure in God’s love?
God loves.
We need to understand to what level He loves us so we can also love.
(preach it here.
God’s unwavering love for us)
Second impact of love is God’s love flowing through us to others.
Are we secure in God’s love?
God loves.
We need to understand to what level He loves us so we can also love.
(16a) his is how we have come to know love: Jesus laid down His life for us.
