A prayer for…
I. The Spirit’s POWER! – (3:14-16)
I. The Spirit’s POWER! – (3:14-16)
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
II. Christ’s INDWELLING! – (3:17a)
II. Christ’s INDWELLING! – (3:17a)
Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
III. Love’s ABUNDANCE! – (3:17b-19a)
III. Love’s ABUNDANCE! – (3:17b-19a)
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
IV. God’s FULLNESS! – (3:19b)
IV. God’s FULLNESS! – (3:19b)
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
