1 Corinthians 131-3

• Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
  angels, but have not love, I have become sounding
  brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have
  the gift of prophecy, and understand all
  mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have
  all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but
  have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I
  bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though
  I give my body to be burned, but have not love,
  it profits me nothing.

5
1 Corinthians 134-7

• Love suffers long and is kind love does not
  envy love does not parade itself, is not puffed
  up 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its
  own, is not provoked, thinks no evil 6 does not
  rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth 7
  bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
  things, endures all things.

6
1 Corinthians 138-10

• Love never fails. But whether there are
  prophecies, they will fail whether there are
  tongues, they will cease whether there is
  knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in
  part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that
  which is perfect has come, then that which is in
  part will be done away.

7
1 Corinthians 1311-12

• When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I
  understood as a child, I thought as a child but
  when I became a man, I put away childish things.
  12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then
  face to face. Now I know in part, but then I
  shall know just as I also am known.

8
1 Corinthians 1313

• And now abide faith, hope, love, these three
  but the greatest of these is love.

Love Comes From God

• Scripture 1 John 47-16 Reader
• Song
• 412 God Is Love Leader

11
1 John 47-9

• Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of
  God and everyone who loves is born of God and
  knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know
  God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God
  was manifested toward us, that God has sent His
  only begotten Son into the world, that we might
  live through Him.

12
1 John 410-13

• In this is love, not that we loved God, but that
  He loved us and sent His Son to be the
  propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so
  loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12
  No one has seen God at any time. If we love one
  another, God abides in us, and His love has been
  perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide
  in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of
  His Spirit.

13
1 John 414-16

• And we have seen and testify that the Father has
  sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever
  confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God
  abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have
  known and believed the love that God has for us.
  God is love, and he who abides in love abides in
  God, and God in him.

The Love of God Gave Us a great Savior

• Scripture Romans 51-11 Reader

• 31 What A Savior Leader

16
Romans 51-4

• Therefore, having been justified by faith, we
  have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
  Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by
  faith into this grace in which we stand, and
  rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not
  only that, but we also glory in tribulations,
  knowing that tribulation produces perseverance 4
  and perseverance, character and character,
  hope.

17
Romans 55-8
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love
of God has been poured out in our hearts by the
Holy Spirit who was given to us. 6 For when we
were still without strength, in due time Christ
died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a
righteous man will one die yet perhaps for a
good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But
God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that
while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
18
Romans 59-11
Much more then, having now been justified by His
blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled
to God through the death of His Son, much more,
having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His
life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice
in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through
whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Love For Christ Is Taught In The Home

• Scripture

• 308 Where Love Is In The Home Leader

21
Ephesians 522-25

• Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the
  Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as
  also Christ is head of the church and He is the
  Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the
  church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be
  to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands,
  love your wives, just as Christ also loved the
  church and gave Himself for her

22
Ephesians 526-29

that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the
washing of water by the word, 27 that He might
present her to Himself a glorious church, not
having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but
that she should be holy and without blemish. 28
So husbands ought to love their own wives as
their own bodies he who loves his wife loves
himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh,
but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord
does the church.
23
Ephesians 530-33

For we are members of His body, of His flesh and
of His bones. 31 For this reason a man shall
leave his father and mother and be joined to his
wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32
This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning
Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each
one of you in particular so love his own wife as
himself, and let the wife see that she respects
her husband.

• 180 Wonderful Story Of Love Leader

26
1 John 310-12

• In this the children of God and the children of
  the devil are manifest Whoever does not practice
  righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does
  not love his brother. 11 For this is the message
  that you heard from the beginning, that we should
  love one another, 12 not as Cain who was of the
  wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did
  he murder him? Because his works were evil and
  his brothers righteous.

27
1 John 313-15

• Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates
  you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to
  life, because we love the brethren. He who does
  not love his brother abides in death. 15 Whoever
  hates his brother is a murderer, and you know
  that no murderer has eternal life abiding in
  him.

28
1 John 316-19

• By this we know love, because He laid down His
  life for us. And we also ought to lay down our
  lives for the brethren. 17 But whoever has this
  worlds goods, and sees his brother in need, and
  shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of
  God abide in him? 18 My little children, let us
  not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in
  truth. 19 And by this we know that we are of the
  truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

29
1 John 320-23

• For if our heart condemns us, God is greater
  than our heart, and knows all things. 21 Beloved,
  if our heart does not condemn us, we have
  confidence toward God. 22 And whatever we ask we
  receive from Him, because we keep His
  commandments and do those things that are
  pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His
  commandment that we should believe on the name
  of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as
  He gave us commandment.

• 608 The Love Of God Leader

32
Romans 831-34

• What then shall we say to these things? If God
  is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did
  not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for
  us all, how shall He not with Him also freely
  give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge
  against Gods elect? It is God who justifies. 34
  Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died,
  and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the
  right hand of God, who also makes intercession
  for us.

33
Romans 835-37

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36
As it is written For Your sake we are killed
all day long We are accounted as sheep for the
slaughter. 37 Yet in all these things we are
more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
34
Romans 838-39

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor
things present nor things to come, 39 nor height
nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be
able to separate us from the love of God which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
