As followers of Christ, we are not called to fix everyone or be close friends with everyone, but we are called to love as Jesus loved us. Because Christ showed us grace while we were still sinners, we can extend kindness, prayer, and compassion to others. When we remain rooted in God’s love, His love can flow through us.

Highlights:

  • We cannot effectively give love to others unless we first receive and understand God’s love for us.
  • God’s love is revealed through the way believers treat and care for others.
  • Jesus modeled love by moving toward people who were hurting, rejected, and imperfect.
  • Loving others does not mean approving everything they do, but it does mean responding with grace and compassion.
  • Remaining connected to God’s love allows His character to shine through our actions.
