14
\n00:00:59,700 –> 00:01:01,800
\nOn this week’s class.
\nWe will be taking a look at the <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:01,800 –> 00:01:05,500
\nfirst class in a series given by
\nBrother Ken Styles at North <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:05,500 –> 00:01:08,000
\nBattleford Saskatchewan Ecclesia
\nin 2010. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:08,500 –> 00:01:11,300
\nThat series is entitled Godly
\nlove and can be found on the <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:11,300 –> 00:01:15,700
\nChris Delphine Bible talks.com.
\nIn this first class we take a <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:15,700 –> 00:01:19,100
\nlook at the love of the Father
\nwhich is the most logical place <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:19,100 –> 00:01:23,000
\nfor us to start when we are
\nconsidering Godly love and we <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:23,000 –> 00:01:26,000
\nknow this because the passage
\nwould tells us we love because <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:26,300 –> 00:01:31,700
\nGod loved us first brother Ken
\ndoes a fantastic job in this <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:31,700 –> 00:01:34,300
\nseries of weaving his way
\nthrough scripture and showing <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:34,300 –> 00:01:37,500
\nhow Godly love is not something
\nyou’re born with it’s not <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:37,500 –> 00:01:40,400
\nsomething you get right away.
\nIt’s something that takes a <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:40,408 –> 00:01:44,600
\nlifetime of hard work and
\ndedication and sacrifice. in <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:44,600 –> 00:01:48,900
\norder to cultivate it’s done
\nthrough a lot of Tears a lot of <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:48,900 –> 00:01:53,300
\nsweat and blood shed.
\nOne of the most poignant points <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:53,300 –> 00:01:56,600
\nthat brother can made was how
\nthe love we should show to our <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:56,600 –> 00:02:01,100
\nbrothers and sisters should not
\nbe given based on their <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:01,100 –> 00:02:05,500
\nworthiness or their Merit but
\nrather their need and this <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:05,500 –> 00:02:08,900
\nresonated with me a lot because
\nI struggle with depression and <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:08,900 –> 00:02:12,200
\nanxiety and I’ve often found
\nmyself as being very Unworthy of<\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:12,208 –> 00:02:14,400
\na lot of these things.
\nIt comes with the territory of <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:14,400 –> 00:02:17,100
\nhaving that false narrative that
\ncomes from mental illness in <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:17,108 –> 00:02:20,400
\nyour head.
\nWhen I realized this I realized <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:22,800
\nthat the brothers and sisters
\nwho show me Care do so not <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:22,800 –> 00:02:26,500
\nbecause I feel deserving of it.
\nBut because they recognized I’m <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:26,800 –> 00:02:31,300
\nin need of it in great need of
\nit and it’s helped me to also <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:31,300 –> 00:02:34,700
\nshow that love towards others
\nthat not because they deserve it<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:34,708 –> 00:02:37,800
\nnot because if they’re acting
\nlike they want it but because <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:37,800 –> 00:02:41,800
\nthey in fact need it, so it’s
\none of those things that you <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:41,800 –> 00:02:45,500
\ninternalize it and as it shown
\nto you you can show it more <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:45,500 –> 00:02:48,800
\ntowards others and that point
\nbut brother can get Really <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:48,800 –> 00:02:51,400
\nresonated with me and it
\ncontinues to do so even to this <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:51,400 –> 00:02:54,100
\nday.
\nAll throughout this series, <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:54,100 –> 00:02:56,800
\nyou’ll start with the love of
\nthe father and then that love <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:56,800 –> 00:03:00,700
\nthe Sun and then you’ll see the
\npower of God love the impact it <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:00,700 –> 00:03:04,100
\ncan make and how we should
\nbehave and there’s a wonderful <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:04,100 –> 00:03:08,900
\nway to wrap up this series as we
\nlook at towards how we behave <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:08,900 –> 00:03:11,300
\ntowards our brothers and sisters
\nbecause we can have all this <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:11,300 –> 00:03:14,500
\nacademic knowledge of love, but
\nwithout the action to follow <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:14,500 –> 00:03:15,900
\nthrough with it.
\nIt means nothing. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:16,800 –> 00:03:19,600
\nI hope you get to enjoy this
\nfirst clasp in The Godly love <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:19,600 –> 00:03:23,300
\nseries and God willing I’ll be
\ntalking to you next week in Joy,<\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:23,300 –> 00:03:27,600
\nand God bless.
\nThe subject that we’re <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:27,600 –> 00:03:32,100
\nconsidering for the weekend
\nGodly love as we have styled it <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:32,700 –> 00:03:37,200
\nis what we feel the gospel is
\nintended to develop within us. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:38,500 –> 00:03:44,600
\nIt’s it can become as we have
\nfound that our life a power that<\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:44,600 –> 00:03:50,600
\nis greater than sin and and we
\ndon’t mean that in any way other<\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:50,600 –> 00:03:55,200
\nthan its stated but we all know
\nhow powerful sin can be in our <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:55,200 –> 00:03:57,900
\nlife.
\nEither through internal <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:57,900 –> 00:04:01,200
\nTemptation or in challenging
\nrelationships or whatever the <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:01,200 –> 00:04:05,300
\ncase may be and you’ll see in
\nscripture from the mouths and <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:05,300 –> 00:04:09,700
\nfrom the lips of our Lord Jesus
\nChrist his declaration that the <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:09,700 –> 00:04:15,700
\npower of his love for his God
\nfor his father in his life was <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:15,700 –> 00:04:21,200
\nstronger than the power of sin
\nwill see that it’s not the same <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:21,200 –> 00:04:25,500
\nas human loan and we will need
\nto differentiate between the two<\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:25,500 –> 00:04:28,400
\nas we progress.
\nThe studies will look at <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:28,400 –> 00:04:31,600
\nexamples of Bible people
\nfaithful Bible characters who <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:31,600 –> 00:04:36,400
\nembraced Godly love as a
\nprinciple by which they lived <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:37,200 –> 00:04:41,700
\nEsther did not have Godly love
\nat the beginning of chapter 4 in<\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:41,700 –> 00:04:44,700
\nthe Book of Esther.
\nShe had adopted and embraced <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:44,700 –> 00:04:48,600
\nGodly Love by the end of chapter
\n4 and it made a marked <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:48,600 –> 00:04:51,500
\ndifference in her life and in
\nher character. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:52,500 –> 00:04:55,700
\nWe’ll look at how Godly love
\napplies to husbands and wives to<\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:55,700 –> 00:05:00,400
\nparents to Brethren and sisters
\nin the Ecclesia, and it’s great <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:00,400 –> 00:05:03,400
\npower for good in our
\nrelationships together. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:05,500 –> 00:05:10,900
\nGod’s love can teach us to be
\ndifferent people because we <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:10,900 –> 00:05:16,500
\nlearn to love like Jesus lunk.
\nIt’s not something that happens.<\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:16,500 –> 00:05:18,700
\nMystically, it’s not something
\nthat happens. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:18,700 –> 00:05:25,100
\nMysteriously when we learn to
\nlove one another as Jesus loved <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:25,100 –> 00:05:29,700
\nus and loves us still it will
\nteach us to be different people.<\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:31,100 –> 00:05:34,200
\nWe have one quote in the handout
\nfrom Brother Roberts. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:34,200 –> 00:05:36,900
\nWe like to begin with this
\nbecause we found it to be very <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:36,900 –> 00:05:44,800
\neffective and very helpful in
\nsummarizing the study and as we <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:48,000
\nread through it, this is Section
\n1 on the handout and don’t <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:48,000 –> 00:05:49,600
\nworry.
\nWe won’t get through all the <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:51,400
\nsections of the hand out over
\nthe weekend. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:51,400 –> 00:05:54,800
\nBut again, we’ve left you with
\nwhat we have found to be helpful<\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:54,800 –> 00:05:57,400
\nin our study.
\nSo for the parts that were not <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:57,400 –> 00:06:00,300
\nable to cover you can at least
\ntake those with you. <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:01,800 –> 00:06:04,500
\nAs we read through the quote
\nnotice how he stresses the <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:04,500 –> 00:06:09,500
\nimportance of love and secondly
\nthe danger we face and leaving <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:09,500 –> 00:06:12,900
\nit out of our life.
\nThere can be nothing more <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:12,900 –> 00:06:15,100
\ncertain.
\nHe says than that the sentiment <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:15,100 –> 00:06:18,500
\nof Love is at the very bottom of
\nthe whole scheme of the truth in<\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:18,500 –> 00:06:22,000
\nwhich we Rejoice there can be
\nnothing more certain than that. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:22,000 –> 00:06:26,200
\nThe very object of the truth is
\nto manifest God’s love to us and<\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:26,200 –> 00:06:29,900
\nto develop God’s love in US
\nthere can be nothing more <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:29,900 –> 00:06:32,600
\ncertain than that the truth and
\nits ultimate and eternal <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:32,600 –> 00:06:36,400
\ndevelopment as we might say will
\npresent the very highest form of<\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:36,400 –> 00:06:40,300
\nthis impulsive love and there
\ncan be nothing more certain. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:40,300 –> 00:06:44,000
\nEither than that those who are
\nnot carried Along by this <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:48,600
\nprevailing impulse which
\noriginates the truth and which <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:48,600 –> 00:06:52,200
\nwe may also say is the essence
\nof the truth will be left <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:52,200 –> 00:06:55,500
\nbehind.
\nGod is love and it is only in <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:55,500 –> 00:06:58,600
\nproportion as we remember this
\nthat we shall become capable of <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:58,600 –> 00:07:03,000
\nreflecting this quality.
\nWe must remember the whole of <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:03,000 –> 00:07:08,100
\nthe truth and not a part only we
\nmust not leave out the love. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:08,700 –> 00:07:12,800
\nThis is our danger.
\nWe are not likely to leave out <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:12,800 –> 00:07:16,100
\nanything else we see from the
\nBible that God is angry with the<\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:16,100 –> 00:07:19,800
\nwicked that corrupt and sinful
\nhuman nature is nothing in his <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:19,800 –> 00:07:22,300
\nsight.
\nJesus will be manifested to <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:22,300 –> 00:07:26,000
\ndestroy the sinners.
\nMankind and that there is no <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:26,000 –> 00:07:28,400
\nsalvation except in God’s
\nappointed way. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:29,200 –> 00:07:32,600
\nWe see the necessity of placing
\nourselves in opposition to the <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:32,600 –> 00:07:36,600
\ncorruption around us and are
\nforced into a continual attitude<\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:36,600 –> 00:07:39,000
\nof defense and attack.
\nTherefore. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:39,000 –> 00:07:42,100
\nWe are not liable to forget our
\nduty in these things. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:43,200 –> 00:07:47,500
\nBut we are liable to forget that
\nGod is love and that the whole <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:47,500 –> 00:07:51,400
\ntruth is but the exemplification
\nand expression of it. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:53,400 –> 00:07:56,100
\nWhat we find in scripture and
\nwe’ll see as we go through the <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:56,108 –> 00:08:00,600
\nclasses is that the Pinnacle of
\nwhat the truth is intended to <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:00,600 –> 00:08:06,000
\nlead us to is God’s love all of
\nour doctrines are Bible readings<\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:06,000 –> 00:08:09,500
\nand bible study are singing our
\nprayers. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:09,500 –> 00:08:14,000
\nOur joint fraternal weekends are
\ntrials and suffering are <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:14,000 –> 00:08:18,400
\necclesial activities.
\nEven our baptism is all intended<\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:18,400 –> 00:08:22,100
\nand designed to lead us to God’s
\nlove. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:22,700 –> 00:08:24,500
\nIt’s why Jesus died on the
\ncross? <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:24,500 –> 00:08:27,800
\nThat’s why the Bible has been
\nleft on record for us. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:29,000 –> 00:08:32,900
\nAll of it is intended to bring
\nus to the point where we are <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:32,900 –> 00:08:37,200
\ndeveloping God’s love in our
\nlife and we see that he is at <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:37,200 –> 00:08:42,299
\nwork to develop his love within
\nus and the outcome of his love <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:42,700 –> 00:08:47,800
\nat work in our life.
\nAnd as we develop his love and <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:51,200
\nour life, is it provides for us
\na new heart. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:51,900 –> 00:08:57,200
\nIt will transform our character.
\nAgain referring to the handout <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:57,200 –> 00:08:59,500
\nat number two.
\nThe first thing to note about <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:59,500 –> 00:09:02,100
\nGodly love is that it doesn’t
\nhappen. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:02,100 –> 00:09:04,500
\nNaturally.
\nIt’s not something were born <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:04,500 –> 00:09:08,500
\nwith it’s something that must be
\nlearned at must be developed <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:08,500 –> 00:09:13,200
\nwithin us and it isn’t learned
\nwithout much heartache. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:14,100 –> 00:09:17,600
\nIt asks a hundred thirty year
\nold father to slay his son whom <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:17,600 –> 00:09:21,600
\nhe loves as a test of his faith
\nand ask another father to live <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:21,600 –> 00:09:24,700
\nwith grief for 20 years over the
\napparent death of his beloved <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:24,700 –> 00:09:28,400
\nSon.
\nIt has a profit a husband to <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:28,400 –> 00:09:31,500
\nrefrain from mourning over the
\ndeath of his wife whom God <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:31,500 –> 00:09:35,300
\nacknowledged was the desire of
\nhis eyes. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:36,300 –> 00:09:40,100
\nIt strikes family tragedy and
\nbodily Affliction into a <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:40,100 –> 00:09:45,000
\nblameless and upright man.
\nA man scripture says was one who<\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:45,000 –> 00:09:48,400
\nfeared God and eschewed evil.
\nThere was none like him in all <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:48,400 –> 00:09:52,100
\nthe men of the East.
\nAnd three separate occasions <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:52,100 –> 00:09:56,100
\nGod’s love causes a mother from
\nBethlehem to stand over the <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:56,100 –> 00:10:01,600
\ngravesite of her husband and her
\ntwo sons in Moab it responds. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:02,700 –> 00:10:07,300
\nTo the refusal the faithful
\nrefusal of a 90 year old man to <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:07,300 –> 00:10:12,300
\nbow down to the head of the Jews
\nenemies by permitting a death <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:12,300 –> 00:10:17,200
\nsentence to be passed upon the
\nentire community of believers. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:18,300 –> 00:10:23,800
\nAnd it then asks a queen of a
\nvast Empire to lay down her life<\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:23,800 –> 00:10:28,400
\nfor her people.
\nAnd the New Testament it permits<\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:28,400 –> 00:10:33,100
\nthe Jewish persecutors to cause
\nhavoc in the life of an apostle <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:33,400 –> 00:10:39,600
\nin city after city after city as
\nhe tries to preach the gospel to<\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:39,600 –> 00:10:44,000
\nsave those who are in darkness.
\nAnd then God’s love leaves him <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:44,000 –> 00:10:47,100
\nin prison for two whole years
\nwhen he could have been out <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:47,100 –> 00:10:52,400
\npreaching and witnessing.
\nFinally God’s love asked the <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:52,400 –> 00:10:57,800
\nbeloved Son in whom he was well
\npleased to lay down his life and<\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:57,800 –> 00:11:00,700
\nto submit himself to a public
\ncrucifixion. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:02,300 –> 00:11:06,800
\nVernon sisters in young people.
\nThis is the love of God. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:07,400 –> 00:11:11,900
\nIt’s all done out of love out of
\na desire on his part to save <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:11,900 –> 00:11:16,900
\nthose whom he loved.
\nTo teach them to walk by faith <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:16,900 –> 00:11:22,300
\nin the midst of their suffering
\nand to love him and responds to <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:22,300 –> 00:11:24,700
\nthe trials that he brought into
\ntheir life. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:26,800 –> 00:11:31,100
\nIt was designed to keep them
\nfrom being overcome by sin or if<\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:31,100 –> 00:11:36,100
\nthey were already overcome by
\nsin to rescue them from that <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:36,100 –> 00:11:41,700
\nsituation, but don’t just see
\nthe suffering of the people. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:41,700 –> 00:11:45,300
\nWe’ve listed there recognize the
\nwisdom of our God. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:46,600 –> 00:11:49,400
\nLook at all the good that came
\nout of these afflictions the <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:49,400 –> 00:11:53,400
\nEternal promises.
\nThat came out of the situation <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:53,400 –> 00:11:57,000
\nwith Abraham.
\nThe Redemption of a family in <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:57,000 –> 00:12:01,700
\nthe case of Naomi the Redemption
\nof an entire generation in the <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:01,708 –> 00:12:06,900
\ncase of Mordecai and Esther.
\nAnd the Redemption of an entire <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:06,900 –> 00:12:09,200
\nrace in the case of our Lord
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:09,200 –> 00:12:14,600
\nIf we were to ask each of these
\nfaithful men and women about the<\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:14,600 –> 00:12:20,100
\nlove of God about the wisdom of
\nhis love each of them would tell<\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:20,100 –> 00:12:25,800
\nus that God is right and God is
\nwise and how he loves us. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:27,300 –> 00:12:30,100
\nAnd they would Echo the
\nsentiment that we not turn to <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:30,100 –> 00:12:33,500
\nsin in the midst of our trials
\nthat he brings into our life. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:34,300 –> 00:12:39,600
\nThey would encourage us to trust
\nhis love to embrace his love to <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:39,600 –> 00:12:44,100
\nlearn to reflect his love and
\nmake it the love that we reflect<\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:44,100 –> 00:12:50,000
\nin our life because it is the
\nway to life the way to life <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:50,000 –> 00:12:53,400
\neternal.
\nIt’s important to recognize and <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:53,400 –> 00:12:57,400
\nidentify upfront what love is
\nespecially when Here the concept<\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:57,400 –> 00:13:02,800
\nof Love You So abundantly in the
\nworld today for the purposes of <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:02,800 –> 00:13:05,200
\nour study.
\nWe are going to use God’s <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:05,200 –> 00:13:07,900
\ndefinition of love.
\nWe’re going to use the Bible’s <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:07,900 –> 00:13:12,700
\ndefinition of love and how it
\ndefines love and we will <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:12,700 –> 00:13:16,500
\ndifferentiate it from time to
\ntime between it and human lungs <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:16,500 –> 00:13:20,600
\nand it can be a bit confusing at
\ntimes because we see God’s love <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:20,600 –> 00:13:23,800
\non the one hand and we see human
\nlove on the other hand and <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:23,800 –> 00:13:26,500
\nsometimes they can be confusing
\nand almost appear to be the <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:26,500 –> 00:13:29,400
\nsame.
\nSame they are not. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:31,100 –> 00:13:34,400
\nThey come from a different
\nsource, and they direct a <\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:34,408 –> 00:13:39,000
\nperson’s actions in a different
\ndirection and we’ll see we’ll <\/p>\n

203
\n00:13:39,000 –> 00:13:45,300
\nsee ample evidence of that.
\nThe definition in and the way <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:45,300 –> 00:13:49,100
\nthat we would summarize it is
\nnot one-dimensional. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:49,700 –> 00:13:53,300
\nIt involves all of the twelve
\naspects that we have listed <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:53,300 –> 00:13:56,400
\nunder number 3 and and likely
\nmore we’re just trying to <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:56,400 –> 00:13:59,800
\ndemonstrate the fact that Godly
\nlove cannot simply be summarized<\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:59,800 –> 00:14:04,900
\nby a single term or a single
\nsentence when you take all of <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:04,900 –> 00:14:09,100
\nthe verses in scripture, which
\nspeak of God’s love and godly <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:09,100 –> 00:14:13,300
\nlove and you put them together.
\nThis is just A simple summary of<\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:13,300 –> 00:14:16,300
\n12 aspects of it.
\nAnd again, there’s lightly <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:16,300 –> 00:14:19,700
\nlikely more first and foremost
\nthe one we know well is it’s a <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:19,700 –> 00:14:23,700
\nself-sacrificing love.
\nIt’s a putting the needs of <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:23,700 –> 00:14:31,300
\nothers before our own kind of
\nlove and others first, not me <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:31,300 –> 00:14:37,400
\nfirst love because he laid down
\nhis life John writes and first <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:37,400 –> 00:14:41,000
\nJohn 3:16, we ought to lay down
\nour lives for the brethren. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:41,600 –> 00:14:44,400
\nSecondly, its obedience to God’s
\nCommandments. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:44,400 –> 00:14:48,100
\nIf you love me Christ says you
\nwill keep my Commandments. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:49,000 –> 00:14:54,100
\nIt’s done from faith.
\nIt Springs from faith and <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:54,100 –> 00:14:58,500
\nGalatians 5 & 6 Paul writes
\nfaith is working through love <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:59,200 –> 00:15:03,500
\nyou see a faith is not at the
\nfoundation of what we are doing <\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:04,500 –> 00:15:09,800
\nwhen we think we are showing
\nlove then it is not godly love <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:09,800 –> 00:15:11,800
\nthat.
\nWe are showing to another person<\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:12,900 –> 00:15:17,500
\nIf it is not springing or
\narising from faith, we may be <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:17,500 –> 00:15:22,500
\ndoing them a lot of good.
\nBut it isn’t Godly love. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:23,900 –> 00:15:29,400
\nTrusting that God will take care
\nof us if we obey him, but he <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:29,400 –> 00:15:31,600
\nwill bring us through the
\nvarious trials. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:31,600 –> 00:15:36,000
\nWe may be in and The Wonder of
\nGodly love and how it’s <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:36,000 –> 00:15:41,500
\nconnected with faith is that we
\ncontinue to trust him regardless<\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:41,500 –> 00:15:45,600
\nhow vulnerable a situation this
\nmight put us in an and how <\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:45,600 –> 00:15:48,800
\ndifficult and how much more
\ndifficult our situation might <\/p>\n

232
\n00:15:48,800 –> 00:15:52,900
\nbecome often times for those who
\nlearn to love. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:53,800 –> 00:15:57,400
\nWith the love of God their
\nsituation actually became more <\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:57,400 –> 00:16:02,600
\ndifficult and more stressful and
\nthe trials were heaped further <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:02,600 –> 00:16:06,200
\nupon them.
\nBecause of the fact that they <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:06,200 –> 00:16:08,900
\nwere showing and reflecting
\nGodly love in their life. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:10,500 –> 00:16:14,000
\nBecause of Joseph love for his
\nbrother–and. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:15,100 –> 00:16:19,000
\nIn chapter 37 his life will
\nbecome increasingly more <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:19,000 –> 00:16:24,400
\ndifficult in subsequent chapters
\nbecause of Ruth’s love for Naomi<\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:25,400 –> 00:16:29,100
\nher life will become
\nincreasingly more difficult the <\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:29,100 –> 00:16:33,600
\nsame with Nehemiah the same with
\nMordecai and there’s others that<\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:33,600 –> 00:16:37,600
\nwe could recall.
\nNumber for it’s done in Hope of <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:37,600 –> 00:16:41,300
\na future reward Hebrews 6 says
\nthat we should remain diligent <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:41,300 –> 00:16:45,700
\nand our love for the Saints in
\nfull Assurance of the hope that <\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:45,700 –> 00:16:49,900
\nwe have.
\nIt’s done not because a person <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:49,900 –> 00:16:53,700
\ndeserves our love and this is
\nwhen you begin to see how Godly <\/p>\n

247
\n00:16:53,700 –> 00:16:56,100
\nlove is so different than human
\nlungs. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:16:57,000 –> 00:17:00,500
\nGodly love does not is not
\nextended because a person <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:00,500 –> 00:17:05,900
\ndeserves our love But because a
\nperson needs our love and what <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:05,900 –> 00:17:10,800
\nit brings to their situation, we
\ndon’t deserve God’s love we were<\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:10,800 –> 00:17:15,000
\nSinners as Roman 5 tells us in
\nenemies when God loved us and <\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:15,000 –> 00:17:18,400
\nChrist died for us.
\nSo God’s love is not something <\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:18,400 –> 00:17:21,800
\nwe learned it’s not something
\nwe’re entitled to as we know <\/p>\n

254
\n00:17:22,400 –> 00:17:27,200
\nGod’s love is something we need.
\nIf we didn’t have it, we’d be <\/p>\n

255
\n00:17:27,200 –> 00:17:30,900
\nlost.
\nSo when a person is in need, we <\/p>\n

256
\n00:17:30,900 –> 00:17:33,600
\ndon’t ask the question do they
\ndeserve this? <\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:35,600 –> 00:17:37,900
\nThe question we ask is do they
\nneed this? <\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:39,300 –> 00:17:41,800
\nDoes it matter what they’ve done
\nnot godly love? <\/p>\n

259
\n00:17:43,000 –> 00:17:45,600
\nAnd if they need that that’s
\nwhat the Lord says we should <\/p>\n

260
\n00:17:45,600 –> 00:17:52,100
\ngive to.
\nWhen a brother or sister is <\/p>\n

261
\n00:17:52,100 –> 00:17:57,600
\novercome by sin, whether it’s
\nbecause of Despair or Temptation<\/p>\n

262
\n00:17:57,700 –> 00:18:00,400
\nor wrong Doctrine or whatever
\nthe situation may be. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:01,500 –> 00:18:07,100
\nWhat they need us to bring into
\ntheir situation is God’s love to<\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:07,100 –> 00:18:09,700
\nhelp rescue them from that
\nsituation. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:12,200 –> 00:18:16,200
\nThat’s not human lung.
\nThat’s Godly love it’s giving to<\/p>\n

266
\n00:18:16,200 –> 00:18:18,700
\nthe need of a brother or sister.
\nWhatever. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:18:18,700 –> 00:18:23,100
\nIt might be Deuteronomy 15 and
\nFirst Corinthians 8 verse 9 <\/p>\n

268
\n00:18:23,100 –> 00:18:28,400
\nspeak of giving based upon their
\nneed not our Surplus if we’re <\/p>\n

269
\n00:18:28,400 –> 00:18:32,400
\ngiving to others based upon our
\nSurplus and what we have left <\/p>\n

270
\n00:18:32,400 –> 00:18:35,400
\nover when our needs are taken
\ncare of we will see that is not <\/p>\n

271
\n00:18:35,400 –> 00:18:38,700
\ngodly love.
\nThat is human love. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:18:39,900 –> 00:18:43,800
\nThat requires our total
\ninvolvement our total commitment<\/p>\n

273
\n00:18:44,300 –> 00:18:47,100
\nand we recall this as being the
\nfirst commandment that Christ <\/p>\n

274
\n00:18:47,100 –> 00:18:49,100
\nspoke of in summarizing a
\nsubject. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:49,100 –> 00:18:53,800
\nIt requires all our heart all
\nour soul all our strength and <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:53,800 –> 00:18:56,700
\nall our mind.
\nSo Godly love is not something <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:56,700 –> 00:18:59,700
\nthat we should do or show
\nperiodically, but in every <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:59,700 –> 00:19:05,100
\nsituation in our in our life,
\nthere is never a conversation I <\/p>\n

279
\n00:19:05,100 –> 00:19:10,000
\nshould have with my wife.
\nWithout bringing Godly love into<\/p>\n

280
\n00:19:10,000 –> 00:19:13,500
\nthat conversation.
\nI’m not saying I do that every <\/p>\n

281
\n00:19:13,500 –> 00:19:16,700
\ntime and I certainly don’t want
\nto leave you with the mistaken <\/p>\n

282
\n00:19:16,700 –> 00:19:20,500
\nimpression that I stand before
\nyou as someone who has perfected<\/p>\n

283
\n00:19:20,500 –> 00:19:25,400
\nthis subject because I haven’t
\nBut these are their spiritual <\/p>\n

284
\n00:19:25,400 –> 00:19:30,200
\nideals the standards that God is
\ncalling us to and we’re going to<\/p>\n

285
\n00:19:30,200 –> 00:19:33,200
\nsee he doesn’t just give us
\nthese standards and say what do <\/p>\n

286
\n00:19:33,200 –> 00:19:38,000
\nyou think pick out one or two?
\nWe will see that it is God’s <\/p>\n

287
\n00:19:38,000 –> 00:19:42,300
\nexpectation that we developed
\nhis love in us. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:19:43,000 –> 00:19:45,800
\nIt is the expectation of the
\nLord Jesus Christ that we <\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:45,800 –> 00:19:51,300
\ndeveloped his love in US.
\nSo I should never have a <\/p>\n

290
\n00:19:51,300 –> 00:19:56,100
\nconversation with my 15 year old
\nson at home regardless of what <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:56,100 –> 00:20:00,700
\nhe has done.
\nRegardless of how shaming his <\/p>\n

292
\n00:20:00,700 –> 00:20:05,000
\nactions have been to me and to
\nmy reputation whatever my <\/p>\n

293
\n00:20:05,000 –> 00:20:10,500
\nreputation might be I should
\nnever interact with him. in any <\/p>\n

294
\n00:20:10,500 –> 00:20:16,100
\nway without bringing God’s love
\ninto that situation and that’s <\/p>\n

295
\n00:20:16,100 –> 00:20:19,600
\nwhat it means in my mind to love
\nGod with all our heart all our <\/p>\n

296
\n00:20:19,600 –> 00:20:24,500
\nsoul our strength and our might
\nThe second commandment we are to<\/p>\n

297
\n00:20:24,500 –> 00:20:28,000
\ndo for our neighbor as we would
\nlike to have done for us. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:20:28,900 –> 00:20:32,300
\nNow this principle of loving
\nyour neighbor as yourself can be<\/p>\n

299
\n00:20:32,300 –> 00:20:35,700
\na bit confusing some people
\nthink it means will I need to <\/p>\n

300
\n00:20:35,700 –> 00:20:39,800
\nlearn to love myself before I
\ncan learn to other people. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:20:39,800 –> 00:20:44,400
\nThat is not what the Lord Jesus
\nChrist was teaching when he says<\/p>\n

302
\n00:20:44,400 –> 00:20:46,200
\nwe need to love our neighbor as
\nourself. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:20:46,200 –> 00:20:49,100
\nHe says take a look at the
\nsituation that your neighbor is <\/p>\n

304
\n00:20:49,100 –> 00:20:52,100
\nin and put yourself in that
\nsituation. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:20:53,900 –> 00:20:58,400
\nAnd then ask yourself if I was
\nin that situation, what would I <\/p>\n

306
\n00:20:58,400 –> 00:21:04,100
\nneed and he uses the principle
\nas we know of the Good <\/p>\n

307
\n00:21:04,100 –> 00:21:09,200
\nSamaritan?
\nhe was attacked by thieves and <\/p>\n

308
\n00:21:09,200 –> 00:21:13,100
\nthe Good Samaritan came along
\nand bound up his wounds and <\/p>\n

309
\n00:21:13,100 –> 00:21:17,200
\npoured out oil and wine and then
\nhe sent him he set him on his on<\/p>\n

310
\n00:21:17,200 –> 00:21:22,000
\nhis Beast and the Good Samaritan
\nwalked while the man who was <\/p>\n

311
\n00:21:22,000 –> 00:21:25,200
\nwounded wrote on the Beast and
\nthen he stayed with him that <\/p>\n

312
\n00:21:25,200 –> 00:21:28,900
\nnight in the end and he got up
\nthe next day and he took care of<\/p>\n

313
\n00:21:28,900 –> 00:21:31,700
\nthe bill and he asked the in
\ncaper to keep looking after this<\/p>\n

314
\n00:21:31,700 –> 00:21:36,100
\nindividual see whatever needs
\nthe Good Samaritan had that When<\/p>\n

315
\n00:21:36,100 –> 00:21:40,000
\nhe was walking along the road
\nwhatever needs he had. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:41,600 –> 00:21:46,600
\nImmediately became of secondary
\nimportance to him because he was<\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:46,600 –> 00:21:49,900
\na neighbor lying in a ditch and
\nhe asked himself if I was in <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:49,900 –> 00:21:53,700
\nthat situation, what would I
\nneed for someone to come along <\/p>\n

319
\n00:21:53,700 –> 00:22:00,300
\nand do for me we can begin to
\nsee the power of Godly love at <\/p>\n

320
\n00:22:00,300 –> 00:22:05,200
\nwork in our life when we begin
\nto see that the needs of others.<\/p>\n

321
\n00:22:06,400 –> 00:22:09,800
\nIf we are loving with God’s love
\ncan take on that type of <\/p>\n

322
\n00:22:09,900 –> 00:22:15,200
\nimportance in our life.
\nMatthew 7 verse 12 which we <\/p>\n

323
\n00:22:15,200 –> 00:22:17,800
\nwon’t take the time to look up
\nsays therefore all things <\/p>\n

324
\n00:22:17,800 –> 00:22:19,800
\nwhatsoever.
\nYou would that men should do to <\/p>\n

325
\n00:22:19,800 –> 00:22:24,200
\nyou do ye even so to them for
\nthis is the law and the prophets<\/p>\n

326
\n00:22:25,100 –> 00:22:28,800
\nsee Godly love is what the law
\nin the profits were intended to <\/p>\n

327
\n00:22:28,800 –> 00:22:35,000
\nbring a person to Matthew 22
\nverse 40 says on these two <\/p>\n

328
\n00:22:35,000 –> 00:22:38,900
\nCommandments after Jesus had
\nsummarize the first great <\/p>\n

329
\n00:22:38,900 –> 00:22:41,100
\ncommandment in the Second Great
\ncommandment. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:22:41,400 –> 00:22:47,300
\nHe says on these two Hang all
\nthe law and the prophets Romans <\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:47,300 –> 00:22:51,000
\n13 verse 10 as we know says love
\nis the Fulfillment of the law. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:51,000 –> 00:22:55,700
\nThat’s why we say it is the
\nPinnacle of what discipleship is<\/p>\n

333
\n00:22:55,700 –> 00:22:58,800
\nintended to bring us two and
\nthat is true both in the Old <\/p>\n

334
\n00:22:58,800 –> 00:23:01,700
\nTestament and in the New
\nTestament. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:23:03,400 –> 00:23:06,700
\nGodly love is done as a servant
\nnot a master as we see in <\/p>\n

336
\n00:23:06,700 –> 00:23:11,200
\nGalatians 5 verse 13 through
\nlove be Servants of one. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:23:11,200 –> 00:23:16,000
\nAnother Galatians flies says it
\nrestrains us presents prevents <\/p>\n

338
\n00:23:16,000 –> 00:23:18,300
\nus from engaging in wrong
\nconduct. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:23:18,700 –> 00:23:22,600
\nAnd then it also constrains us
\nit compels us According to <\/p>\n

340
\n00:23:22,608 –> 00:23:26,200
\nsecond Corinthians 5:14 to right
\nconduct. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:23:26,900 –> 00:23:30,800
\nIt provides a proper balance
\nbetween insisting upon right <\/p>\n

342
\n00:23:30,800 –> 00:23:35,100
\nDoctrine and conduct while being
\ncareful not to offend in matters<\/p>\n

343
\n00:23:35,100 –> 00:23:37,800
\nof conscience.
\nSo when we come to second John <\/p>\n

344
\n00:23:38,600 –> 00:23:41,500
\nAnd the Ecclesia there had a
\nmisunderstanding of Love. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:23:41,500 –> 00:23:44,800
\nThey were under the impression
\nthat love teaches that we should<\/p>\n

346
\n00:23:44,800 –> 00:23:48,300
\naccept all Brethren and
\nfellowship all Brethren <\/p>\n

347
\n00:23:48,300 –> 00:23:52,400
\nregardless of their beliefs and
\nJohn writes and he says you <\/p>\n

348
\n00:23:52,400 –> 00:23:58,800
\nmisunderstand God’s love you are
\nwrong to welcome and fellowship <\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:01,100
\nall Brethren regardless of their
\nbeliefs. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:24:02,200 –> 00:24:09,300
\nThat is not godly love to wink
\nat error and First Corinthians 8<\/p>\n

351
\n00:24:09,300 –> 00:24:11,700
\nwhen Paul was talking about meat
\noffered to Idols. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:24:12,500 –> 00:24:18,800
\nNo Idols don’t exist.
\nBut if my eating meat offered to<\/p>\n

353
\n00:24:18,800 –> 00:24:24,000
\nIdols will cause my brother to
\nsin to the point of losing his <\/p>\n

354
\n00:24:24,000 –> 00:24:28,900
\nsalvation.
\nPaul says it is Godly love not <\/p>\n

355
\n00:24:28,900 –> 00:24:33,500
\nto eat of that meat.
\nSo in matters of conscience that<\/p>\n

356
\n00:24:33,500 –> 00:24:37,900
\ncould cause my brother or sister
\nto lose their way, even though <\/p>\n

357
\n00:24:37,900 –> 00:24:42,900
\nan idol doesn’t exist.
\nGodly love will not eat of that <\/p>\n

358
\n00:24:42,900 –> 00:24:47,800
\nmeat.
\nAnd lastly James to says it does<\/p>\n

359
\n00:24:47,800 –> 00:24:53,100
\ngood to all it is careful not to
\nshow partiality in scripture <\/p>\n

360
\n00:24:53,100 –> 00:24:56,500
\nthan Godly love is portrayed in
\na preeminent position. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:24:56,900 –> 00:25:00,800
\nIt’s all encompassing all facets
\nof our discipleship. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:25:01,800 –> 00:25:04,500
\nAll that we do is to be done in
\nlove. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:25:04,800 –> 00:25:09,400
\nWe know in Colossians 3 both
\nPaul and Peter speak of its <\/p>\n

364
\n00:25:09,400 –> 00:25:13,700
\npreeminence Above All Things
\nPaul writes put on love, which <\/p>\n

365
\n00:25:13,700 –> 00:25:18,300
\nis the bond of perfectness First
\nPeter 4 verse 7, the end of all <\/p>\n

366
\n00:25:18,300 –> 00:25:22,000
\nthings is at hand the silver
\nPeter writes watch unto prayer <\/p>\n

367
\n00:25:22,800 –> 00:25:27,400
\nabove all have fervent loans one
\nfor another which covers a <\/p>\n

368
\n00:25:27,400 –> 00:25:32,200
\nmultitude of sins.
\nFirst Corinthians 13 we know <\/p>\n

369
\n00:25:32,200 –> 00:25:35,000
\nmost of what we’ll hear this
\nweekend we’ve heard before we’re<\/p>\n

370
\n00:25:35,000 –> 00:25:39,800
\njust trying to put it together
\nin a way that can impress Upon <\/p>\n

371
\n00:25:39,800 –> 00:25:42,800
\nOur Minds what God is trying to
\nteach us. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:25:43,500 –> 00:25:48,200
\nIt had full it holds a
\nthree-fold place a three-fold <\/p>\n

373
\n00:25:48,200 –> 00:25:51,900
\nfoundation in First Corinthians
\nFirst Corinthians 13 with with <\/p>\n

374
\n00:25:51,900 –> 00:25:56,400
\nFaith and Hope but Paul writes
\nthe greatest of these is love <\/p>\n

375
\n00:25:57,300 –> 00:25:59,400
\nbrother Thomas Road.
\nIt was greatest because it <\/p>\n

376
\n00:25:59,400 –> 00:26:04,600
\nincludes Hope and hopes all
\nthings and it includes Faith <\/p>\n

377
\n00:26:04,600 –> 00:26:08,400
\nbecause it believes all things.
\nSo to summarize Godly love as <\/p>\n

378
\n00:26:08,400 –> 00:26:10,900
\nsimply being a self-sacrificing
\nlove. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:26:10,900 –> 00:26:13,200
\nHopefully you can see is a bit
\ntoo simplistic. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:26:13,800 –> 00:26:16,500
\nIt’s a bit too limiting.
\nWe really need all of the <\/p>\n

381
\n00:26:16,500 –> 00:26:18,700
\npieces.
\nAnd again that’s not all of the <\/p>\n

382
\n00:26:18,700 –> 00:26:22,700
\npieces on that list of 1 to 12,
\nbut it’s a good start. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:26:23,300 –> 00:26:27,600
\nFor example, a Gap a love, you
\nknow, the self-sacrificing love <\/p>\n

384
\n00:26:27,600 –> 00:26:30,000
\nis a big part of Godly law that
\nwe don’t want to do. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:26:30,100 –> 00:26:34,400
\nFinish that at all but it’s not
\nthe only part the filial love <\/p>\n

386
\n00:26:34,400 –> 00:26:38,100
\nthe love of Brethren the love of
\na husband for his wife the love <\/p>\n

387
\n00:26:38,100 –> 00:26:41,400
\nof children that they’re all
\ndifferent words for love and <\/p>\n

388
\n00:26:41,400 –> 00:26:46,300
\nthey’re all parts of Godly loan,
\nwhich is why in John 5 verse 20.<\/p>\n

389
\n00:26:46,300 –> 00:26:50,300
\nIt says that God had filial love
\nfor thee for his son. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:26:50,900 –> 00:26:55,000
\nAnd in John 3 verse 35.
\nIt says God had a Gap a love for<\/p>\n

391
\n00:26:55,000 –> 00:27:00,000
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ as well in
\nJohn 11 Christ has both phileo. <\/p>\n

392
\n00:27:00,200 –> 00:27:06,000
\nAnd I kept a log for Lazarus.
\nAnd John 16 Christ said that God<\/p>\n

393
\n00:27:06,000 –> 00:27:10,400
\nhad filial love for the 12 many
\nturns around and in chapter 14 <\/p>\n

394
\n00:27:10,400 –> 00:27:13,000
\nand verse 23 are a couple
\nchapters earlier where he says <\/p>\n

395
\n00:27:13,000 –> 00:27:18,200
\nGod had a Gap a love for them.
\nAnd in that section of John in <\/p>\n

396
\n00:27:18,200 –> 00:27:21,500
\nchapter 14 and 16 at that
\ncrucial night when this is the <\/p>\n

397
\n00:27:21,500 –> 00:27:25,100
\nlast night with the Lord Jesus
\nChrist, he’s not telling him in <\/p>\n

398
\n00:27:25,100 –> 00:27:29,100
\nchapter 16 when God he says God
\nhad filial love for the for the <\/p>\n

399
\n00:27:29,100 –> 00:27:32,900
\n11 actually, but this was
\nsomehow a diminished form of <\/p>\n

400
\n00:27:32,900 –> 00:27:34,800
\nlove.
\nHe doesn’t Highest form of love <\/p>\n

401
\n00:27:34,800 –> 00:27:36,900
\nfor you.
\nHe’s got a diminished flame of <\/p>\n

402
\n00:27:36,900 –> 00:27:39,500
\nlove for you.
\nWhat we learn in scripture is <\/p>\n

403
\n00:27:39,500 –> 00:27:43,200
\nthat all of these pieces of
\nGod’s love are important. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:27:43,200 –> 00:27:48,000
\nWe really need to put all the
\npieces together First Peter 1 <\/p>\n

405
\n00:27:48,000 –> 00:27:52,800
\nverse 22 says we need to have a
\nsincere or an unfeigned phileo <\/p>\n

406
\n00:27:52,800 –> 00:27:58,600
\nlove for our Brethren, but also
\nto Agra pay them one another <\/p>\n

407
\n00:27:58,600 –> 00:28:03,000
\nearnestly from the heart.
\nNow we mentioned it’s important <\/p>\n

408
\n00:28:03,000 –> 00:28:06,800
\nto differentiate between Godly
\nlove and human lung or natural <\/p>\n

409
\n00:28:06,800 –> 00:28:11,600
\nlove how the world defines love
\nin Philippians 1 verse 9. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:28:11,600 –> 00:28:15,800
\nIt says Godly log can only arise
\nfrom a proper understanding of <\/p>\n

411
\n00:28:15,800 –> 00:28:20,500
\nthe truth by a mind enlightened
\nin God’s Will and purpose we <\/p>\n

412
\n00:28:20,500 –> 00:28:24,400
\nwon’t go there but you can use
\nit as a reference Godly love <\/p>\n

413
\n00:28:24,400 –> 00:28:28,100
\nSprings from the word.
\nIt’s the principles of the word <\/p>\n

414
\n00:28:28,100 –> 00:28:30,900
\nput in action.
\nIt doesn’t come naturally. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:28:31,700 –> 00:28:34,100
\nThe fall of these young kids we
\nhave here this weekend. <\/p>\n

416
\n00:28:34,100 –> 00:28:38,200
\nIf our as parents we don’t sit
\ndown to teach them about God’s <\/p>\n

417
\n00:28:38,200 –> 00:28:41,800
\nlove.
\nThey are not going to learn it <\/p>\n

418
\n00:28:41,800 –> 00:28:45,200
\nall by themselves.
\nIt’s something that has to be <\/p>\n

419
\n00:28:45,200 –> 00:28:48,200
\ntaught.
\nIt has to be learned its <\/p>\n

420
\n00:28:48,200 –> 00:28:54,100
\nfundamental purpose Godly love
\nis to turn a person from an <\/p>\n

421
\n00:28:54,100 –> 00:28:57,600
\nequity.
\nEither iniquity we have already <\/p>\n

422
\n00:28:57,600 –> 00:29:02,300
\ncommitted or iniquity we would
\ncommit if left to ourselves. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:29:03,500 –> 00:29:11,200
\nGodly love hates sin.
\nIt hates sin because it knows it<\/p>\n

424
\n00:29:11,200 –> 00:29:14,400
\nwill that that situation will
\nnot lead a person to <\/p>\n

425
\n00:29:14,400 –> 00:29:17,200
\nrighteousness.
\nAnd this is where Godly love and<\/p>\n

426
\n00:29:17,200 –> 00:29:23,100
\nhuman love separate human law
\nbased on humanism is a love of <\/p>\n

427
\n00:29:23,100 –> 00:29:27,900
\nMan Without God so that the
\nhuman love the natural log is <\/p>\n

428
\n00:29:27,900 –> 00:29:32,100
\nwhat were born with its what’s
\ninnate and the Flesh of all of <\/p>\n

429
\n00:29:32,100 –> 00:29:35,300
\nus.
\nIt’s the Of the flush put into <\/p>\n

430
\n00:29:35,300 –> 00:29:38,400
\naction.
\nIt’s not intended. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:29:38,400 –> 00:29:43,000
\nIt’s not based its outcome is
\nnot a desire to turn a person <\/p>\n

432
\n00:29:43,000 –> 00:29:49,100
\nfrom sin human love is intended
\nto make people feel good to make<\/p>\n

433
\n00:29:49,100 –> 00:29:53,100
\npeople feel loved to make people
\nfeel important. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:29:54,500 –> 00:29:59,000
\nAnd it’s a reciprocating love.
\nSo I love you with human love <\/p>\n

435
\n00:29:59,000 –> 00:30:01,600
\nand my anticipation or
\nexpectation is you will turn <\/p>\n

436
\n00:30:01,600 –> 00:30:04,000
\naround and love me so I can feel
\ngood. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:30:05,500 –> 00:30:07,800
\nIt’s a manipulative type of
\nlove. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:30:08,500 –> 00:30:11,200
\nI will love you because I’m with
\nhuman love because I’m hoping <\/p>\n

439
\n00:30:11,200 –> 00:30:13,300
\nthat somehow you’re going to do
\nsomething for me. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:30:14,700 –> 00:30:20,700
\nThat is not godly love.
\nAt times Godly log can look like<\/p>\n

441
\n00:30:20,700 –> 00:30:24,000
\nhuman lungs.
\nAnd in those times it can be a <\/p>\n

442
\n00:30:24,000 –> 00:30:28,100
\nbit confusing because it has the
\nappearance of righteousness it <\/p>\n

443
\n00:30:28,100 –> 00:30:32,900
\neven encourages people to do
\ngood things, but it encourages <\/p>\n

444
\n00:30:32,900 –> 00:30:37,400
\nthem to do things that are
\noutside what God defines as the <\/p>\n

445
\n00:30:37,400 –> 00:30:41,800
\nboundaries of righteousness.
\nSo with human love you have all <\/p>\n

446
\n00:30:41,800 –> 00:30:47,600
\nkinds of sin.
\nBeing tolerated even promoted in<\/p>\n

447
\n00:30:47,600 –> 00:30:53,800
\nthe name of human love.
\nChristianity is losing sight of <\/p>\n

448
\n00:30:53,800 –> 00:30:59,600
\nGodly love as it increasingly
\nBlends ever more human love with<\/p>\n

449
\n00:30:59,600 –> 00:31:03,300
\nGodly love.
\nAnd it ends up with the mixture <\/p>\n

450
\n00:31:03,300 –> 00:31:08,100
\npart truth and part are it ends
\nup teaching that God is an all <\/p>\n

451
\n00:31:08,100 –> 00:31:13,300
\nloving God and that he will
\nforgive all and he will accept <\/p>\n

452
\n00:31:13,300 –> 00:31:19,200
\nall and he will save all because
\nof his all loving this that’s <\/p>\n

453
\n00:31:19,200 –> 00:31:23,200
\nhuman love.
\nThat’s not godly love that. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:31:23,200 –> 00:31:27,600
\nThey’re even redefining love to
\naccept alternative lifestyles. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:31:28,300 –> 00:31:32,200
\nSo that homosexuality is finding
\nan ever increasing presence in <\/p>\n

456
\n00:31:32,200 –> 00:31:35,700
\nsociety.
\nAnd in the churches, it’s <\/p>\n

457
\n00:31:35,700 –> 00:31:38,700
\nredefining the role of women in
\nthe church has to give them an <\/p>\n

458
\n00:31:38,700 –> 00:31:42,300
\nincreasingly important positions
\nof leadership. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:31:42,900 –> 00:31:46,900
\nThe scripture says is not for
\nthere’s to have because of God’s<\/p>\n

460
\n00:31:46,900 –> 00:31:49,900
\nwisdom.
\nIf you follow current events, <\/p>\n

461
\n00:31:49,900 –> 00:31:52,200
\nyou’ll know that the
\nepiscopalians in the methodists <\/p>\n

462
\n00:31:52,200 –> 00:31:55,300
\nin North America are moving in
\nthis direction the the Church of<\/p>\n

463
\n00:31:55,300 –> 00:32:00,000
\nCanada 20 years ago cost across
\nthe The homosexual bridge in <\/p>\n

464
\n00:32:00,000 –> 00:32:04,100
\nallowing that way of life and to
\ntheir Community, but from the <\/p>\n

465
\n00:32:04,100 –> 00:32:07,700
\nworld’s perspective.
\nIt is seen as a better love. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:32:08,100 –> 00:32:11,600
\nIt’s a more encompassing love.
\nIt’s a more compassionate love <\/p>\n

467
\n00:32:12,700 –> 00:32:16,700
\nthey will even try to defend it
\nas being a more a superior love <\/p>\n

468
\n00:32:17,200 –> 00:32:20,700
\nthan what the scriptures speak
\nof so that both society and <\/p>\n

469
\n00:32:20,700 –> 00:32:23,400
\nChristianity are gradually
\nmoving away from the first <\/p>\n

470
\n00:32:23,400 –> 00:32:24,800
\ncommandment.
\nThat’s what’s happening. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:32:25,900 –> 00:32:29,700
\nThey are stressing the need for
\nlove to do good to your neighbor<\/p>\n

472
\n00:32:30,400 –> 00:32:34,000
\nwithout the first commandment
\nwhich defines what righteousness<\/p>\n

473
\n00:32:34,000 –> 00:32:36,000
\nis.
\nAnd when you take the first <\/p>\n

474
\n00:32:36,000 –> 00:32:41,200
\ncommandment out of the picture
\nthe need to love God as he <\/p>\n

475
\n00:32:41,200 –> 00:32:44,900
\ndefines righteousness and to
\nobey him with all our heart and <\/p>\n

476
\n00:32:44,900 –> 00:32:48,400
\nsoul and strength and mind when
\nyou take that piece out and all <\/p>\n

477
\n00:32:48,400 –> 00:32:54,900
\nyou have left is we need to do
\ngood to all men what you end up <\/p>\n

478
\n00:32:54,900 –> 00:33:00,000
\nwith is All kinds of sin now
\nbeing accommodated and people <\/p>\n

479
\n00:33:00,000 –> 00:33:06,500
\nactually believe that is a
\nsuperior form of love. the <\/p>\n

480
\n00:33:06,500 –> 00:33:10,800
\nsecond commandment without the
\nfirst it’s a love that is void <\/p>\n

481
\n00:33:10,800 –> 00:33:14,700
\nof the righteousness of God may
\ngive people a sense of goodness,<\/p>\n

482
\n00:33:15,400 –> 00:33:18,700
\nbut it will not lead anyone to
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:33:20,700 –> 00:33:23,400
\nAnd there is the inherent
\nfailure of it. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:33:24,500 –> 00:33:28,300
\nTake a look at 2nd Timothy 3
\nwere familiar with this passage,<\/p>\n

485
\n00:33:28,300 –> 00:33:34,400
\nbut that as this is actually a
\nLatter-Day prophecy about love. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:33:36,700 –> 00:33:46,500
\nWe’re familiar with the warning.
\nthat Paul says to Timothy in 2nd<\/p>\n

487
\n00:33:46,500 –> 00:33:56,000
\nTimothy 3 The reason we say it’s
\na prophecy about love is notice <\/p>\n

488
\n00:33:56,000 –> 00:34:00,300
\nthe love and just scan down the
\nfirst five verses of this Latter<\/p>\n

489
\n00:34:00,300 –> 00:34:05,300
\nDay prophecy about love and what
\nlove will look like in the last <\/p>\n

490
\n00:34:05,300 –> 00:34:10,800
\ndays notice the love that will
\nbe present in the last days and <\/p>\n

491
\n00:34:10,800 –> 00:34:14,500
\nnotice the love that will not be
\npresent in the last days. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:34:16,300 –> 00:34:20,800
\nThere is a loan but it isn’t
\nGodly love that men will be <\/p>\n

493
\n00:34:20,800 –> 00:34:24,500
\npracticing these 5 verses
\ndescribe. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:34:24,500 –> 00:34:28,300
\nWhat society looks like when
\nGodly log has been taken out of <\/p>\n

495
\n00:34:28,300 –> 00:34:33,300
\nthe picture.
\nIn verse two men shall be lovers<\/p>\n

496
\n00:34:33,300 –> 00:34:38,600
\nof their own selves.
\nYou see why we say that Godly <\/p>\n

497
\n00:34:38,600 –> 00:34:43,400
\nlove does not teach us that we
\nfirst need to love ourselves <\/p>\n

498
\n00:34:43,900 –> 00:34:47,800
\nbefore we can learn to love
\nother people you hear that <\/p>\n

499
\n00:34:47,800 –> 00:34:52,000
\ntoday.
\nAnd Paul warned Timothy that was<\/p>\n

500
\n00:34:52,000 –> 00:34:54,600
\ncoming in the last days.
\nThat would be perilous people <\/p>\n

501
\n00:34:54,600 –> 00:34:59,200
\nwould redefine love to say I
\nfirst need to love myself and <\/p>\n

502
\n00:34:59,200 –> 00:35:03,200
\ntake care of myself before I can
\nbegin to take care of others. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:35:05,700 –> 00:35:09,600
\nGodly love it says will
\ndisappear from society and be <\/p>\n

504
\n00:35:09,600 –> 00:35:13,000
\nreplaced by a love of Man by
\nhuman love. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:35:15,000 –> 00:35:18,000
\nThe loves identified in the
\nlatter day prophecy in verse 2. <\/p>\n

506
\n00:35:18,000 –> 00:35:21,300
\nYou have the loving of self and
\nin verse 4. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:35:21,300 –> 00:35:27,700
\nYou have the loving of pleasure.
\nBut there is no love of God in <\/p>\n

508
\n00:35:27,700 –> 00:35:31,500
\nthe last days is what Paul warns
\nTimothy and brother and sisters <\/p>\n

509
\n00:35:31,500 –> 00:35:35,000
\nas we know.
\nThis is not a warning to those <\/p>\n

510
\n00:35:35,000 –> 00:35:39,200
\noutside the community.
\nPaul is warning what will happen<\/p>\n

511
\n00:35:39,200 –> 00:35:43,100
\nto the community of the last
\ndays if we lose our ability to <\/p>\n

512
\n00:35:43,100 –> 00:35:47,100
\nlove as God intends us intends
\nthat we love. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:35:48,600 –> 00:35:54,300
\nWhat does it man or a city or a
\nsociety look like who loves <\/p>\n

514
\n00:35:54,300 –> 00:35:59,200
\nhimself and doesn’t love God.
\nAnd that’s the description <\/p>\n

515
\n00:35:59,200 –> 00:36:04,700
\nprovided in verses 2 through 5.
\nHe will become coverages and <\/p>\n

516
\n00:36:04,700 –> 00:36:07,000
\nbolsters and proud and
\nblasphemers. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:36:08,000 –> 00:36:12,500
\nChildren who learn to love
\nthemselves will be disobedient <\/p>\n

518
\n00:36:12,500 –> 00:36:14,500
\nto parents unthankful and
\nUnholy. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:36:16,000 –> 00:36:18,400
\nIt’s far easier.
\nFor those of us who have seen <\/p>\n

520
\n00:36:18,400 –> 00:36:22,900
\nsociety change in the past 20
\nyears to recognize the Stark <\/p>\n

521
\n00:36:22,900 –> 00:36:27,500
\nwarning and the reality of
\nsecond Timothy chapter 3, but <\/p>\n

522
\n00:36:27,500 –> 00:36:30,400
\nespecially to the young people
\nfor those who haven’t seen <\/p>\n

523
\n00:36:30,400 –> 00:36:32,900
\nsociety change over the last 20
\nyears. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:36:33,900 –> 00:36:37,100
\nIt’s important that we teach our
\nyoung people in our Sunday <\/p>\n

525
\n00:36:37,100 –> 00:36:41,600
\nschools and in our cyc and in
\nour Bible schools and our Bible <\/p>\n

526
\n00:36:41,600 –> 00:36:44,800
\ncamps that we continue to
\nidentify for them. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:36:44,900 –> 00:36:50,600
\nJust how vastly different Godly
\nlove is from human lungs and <\/p>\n

528
\n00:36:50,600 –> 00:36:54,300
\nyoung people regardless of the
\nsituation if anyone ever comes <\/p>\n

529
\n00:36:54,300 –> 00:36:57,900
\nalong to you in its simplest
\nterms. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:36:58,900 –> 00:37:03,100
\nRemember Godly love will always
\nlead a person to righteousness. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:37:03,100 –> 00:37:07,200
\nSo if anyone ever comes along to
\nyou and ask you to do something <\/p>\n

532
\n00:37:07,200 –> 00:37:12,200
\nor not to do something or to
\nkeep quiet about something if <\/p>\n

533
\n00:37:12,200 –> 00:37:16,100
\nwhat they’re asking you to do
\nwill not lead a person to <\/p>\n

534
\n00:37:16,100 –> 00:37:20,600
\nrighteousness.
\nIt is not godly love that. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:37:20,600 –> 00:37:30,800
\nThey’re asking you to show.
\nanother contrast of Godly love <\/p>\n

536
\n00:37:32,200 –> 00:37:35,700
\nIs that it is Limitless.
\nIt is without bones. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:37:35,900 –> 00:37:40,200
\nThere is nothing I should be
\nunwilling to do for your sake <\/p>\n

538
\n00:37:41,100 –> 00:37:43,700
\nwithin the parameters of
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:37:44,400 –> 00:37:48,300
\nRemember, we say Godly love does
\nnot ignore sin in a sinner. <\/p>\n

540
\n00:37:48,300 –> 00:37:50,300
\nIt doesn’t pretend it isn’t
\nthere. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:37:50,300 –> 00:37:55,300
\nIt doesn’t turn a blind eye.
\nSo if I come to you and bring <\/p>\n

542
\n00:37:55,300 –> 00:37:59,000
\nwrong Doctrine or if I come to
\nyou and bring wrong living. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:37:59,900 –> 00:38:04,100
\nIt is not love on your part to
\nignore that in my life. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:38:06,500 –> 00:38:10,800
\nAnd you may have to ultimately
\nseparate from me if I refuse to <\/p>\n

545
\n00:38:10,800 –> 00:38:13,100
\nchange my teaching or my
\nconduct. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:38:13,700 –> 00:38:19,200
\nThat is Godly love.
\nBut if I then come to see the <\/p>\n

547
\n00:38:19,200 –> 00:38:22,200
\nerror of my ways regardless what
\nI have done. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:38:24,200 –> 00:38:26,400
\nAnd I admit my teaching was
\nwrong. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:38:27,900 –> 00:38:33,400
\nMy conduct was Unholy.
\nAnd I come back with that frame <\/p>\n

550
\n00:38:33,400 –> 00:38:37,800
\nof mind than the very same Godly
\nlove that separated from me. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:38:38,200 –> 00:38:44,500
\nThe very same Godly love will
\nembraced me with open arms and <\/p>\n

552
\n00:38:44,500 –> 00:38:48,700
\ndo all that came to help win me
\nback to righteousness. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:38:49,200 –> 00:38:54,600
\nIt’s the same Godly love that is
\nmanifested in both situations <\/p>\n

554
\n00:38:55,100 –> 00:38:59,400
\nbecause Godly love will always
\nseek to return a person to <\/p>\n

555
\n00:38:59,400 –> 00:39:08,000
\nrighteousness. a couple of other
\nitems on the handout if you look<\/p>\n

556
\n00:39:08,000 –> 00:39:11,200
\nat Point number 5 there is a
\nspecial relationship between <\/p>\n

557
\n00:39:11,200 –> 00:39:16,000
\nGodly love and obedience.
\nThey are presented as being <\/p>\n

558
\n00:39:16,000 –> 00:39:20,200
\nsynonymous in Scripture.
\nAnd again, it’s a consistent <\/p>\n

559
\n00:39:20,200 –> 00:39:24,100
\nmessage in the Old Testament and
\nthe New Testament to love God is<\/p>\n

560
\n00:39:24,100 –> 00:39:27,600
\nto obey God.
\nThis is the Divine standard for <\/p>\n

561
\n00:39:27,600 –> 00:39:30,200
\nlove.
\nIt’s how God measures our love <\/p>\n

562
\n00:39:30,200 –> 00:39:33,600
\nfor him.
\nSo that love and obedience are <\/p>\n

563
\n00:39:33,600 –> 00:39:36,800
\ninseparable from God’s
\nstandpoint and we won’t go <\/p>\n

564
\n00:39:36,800 –> 00:39:41,900
\nthrough the various examples
\nother than to point out. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:39:41,900 –> 00:39:46,800
\nBe careful when you read the
\nword works. especially in the <\/p>\n

566
\n00:39:46,800 –> 00:39:51,300
\nNew Testament because it’s not
\nalways a negative word in <\/p>\n

567
\n00:39:51,300 –> 00:39:54,700
\nscripture and we can lose sight
\nof the fact that scripture <\/p>\n

568
\n00:39:54,700 –> 00:39:59,900
\nspeaks of righteous works and we
\nneed to identify when Paul <\/p>\n

569
\n00:39:59,900 –> 00:40:03,300
\nspeaks of Works whether he’s
\nbattling against the false <\/p>\n

570
\n00:40:03,400 –> 00:40:07,600
\nteachers of his day who thought
\nsalvation was by works of the <\/p>\n

571
\n00:40:07,600 –> 00:40:12,400
\nFlesh in contrast to the works
\nof obedience that Paul says we <\/p>\n

572
\n00:40:12,400 –> 00:40:16,200
\nneed to all strive to fulfill in
\nour life. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:40:16,800 –> 00:40:19,900
\nSo the works of the law
\nassociated with the Pharisees <\/p>\n

574
\n00:40:19,900 –> 00:40:24,000
\nand then later on with the false
\nBrethren within the community <\/p>\n

575
\n00:40:24,300 –> 00:40:28,700
\nthe The Works of the flesh that
\nwere based on keeping rituals <\/p>\n

576
\n00:40:28,700 –> 00:40:31,900
\nand mutilating a flesh for these
\nas he describes it in Galatians <\/p>\n

577
\n00:40:32,200 –> 00:40:35,000
\nkeeping the letter of the law
\nPaul exposes. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:40:35,000 –> 00:40:38,700
\nThose are works of the flesh man
\nglory in these and it was like <\/p>\n

579
\n00:40:38,700 –> 00:40:41,200
\nit was a Doctrine to be rejected
\nin the first century. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:40:41,200 –> 00:40:43,300
\nIt has no value in checking the
\nflesh. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:40:44,100 –> 00:40:50,000
\nBut works arising from faith.
\nRighteous works works that are <\/p>\n

582
\n00:40:50,000 –> 00:40:53,600
\nthe fruit of righteousness that
\nwhich God is intending to <\/p>\n

583
\n00:40:53,600 –> 00:40:58,400
\ndevelop within us.
\nThose kinds of works are called <\/p>\n

584
\n00:40:58,400 –> 00:41:03,400
\nlove because it’s a reflection
\nof our obedience to him and and <\/p>\n

585
\n00:41:03,400 –> 00:41:06,800
\nthose kinds of righteous works
\nare what God is seeking to <\/p>\n

586
\n00:41:06,800 –> 00:41:10,000
\ndevelop in us.
\nThere’s also an Inseparable <\/p>\n

587
\n00:41:10,000 –> 00:41:11,900
\nconnection a special
\nrelationship. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:41:11,900 –> 00:41:15,500
\nWe call it in point number six
\nbetween faith and love. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:41:17,900 –> 00:41:19,800
\nThey share this special
\nrelationship. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:41:19,800 –> 00:41:23,400
\nWe know from James to that we
\ncan say we have faith. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:41:23,400 –> 00:41:26,600
\nBut if we do not have love if we
\ndo not have works. <\/p>\n

592
\n00:41:26,600 –> 00:41:31,100
\nIf we do not have obedience then
\nwe don’t have genuine Faith. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:41:31,100 –> 00:41:34,500
\nIt’s a dead Faith.
\nWe’ve already seen in Galatians <\/p>\n

594
\n00:41:34,500 –> 00:41:39,800
\n5 that Faith precedes love for
\nanother way to look at it is <\/p>\n

595
\n00:41:39,800 –> 00:41:44,600
\nlove begins with faith and when
\nfaith comes first and it <\/p>\n

596
\n00:41:44,600 –> 00:41:49,900
\nproceeds are love then it true.
\nIs our love is Godly love and <\/p>\n

597
\n00:41:49,900 –> 00:41:55,800
\nnot human love we first trust
\nGod and then we act by faith and<\/p>\n

598
\n00:41:55,800 –> 00:42:00,600
\nlove consistent with his word
\nand that he is pleased with to <\/p>\n

599
\n00:42:00,600 –> 00:42:03,400
\ngive an example of how faith and
\nworks. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:42:03,400 –> 00:42:07,400
\nSorry faith and love work
\ntogether turn over to Luke 7. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:42:07,400 –> 00:42:13,600
\nRemember the parable that Christ
\nrecounts when he’s in Simon the <\/p>\n

602
\n00:42:13,600 –> 00:42:21,200
\nPharisees house.
\nHe arrives and the woman is <\/p>\n

603
\n00:42:21,200 –> 00:42:28,000
\nweeping and wedding his feet
\nwith her tears. and in verse 36 <\/p>\n

604
\n00:42:28,000 –> 00:42:35,000
\nto 38 of chapter 7 we read one
\nof the Pharisees desired him <\/p>\n

605
\n00:42:35,000 –> 00:42:38,700
\nthat he would eat with him being
\nJesus and he went into the <\/p>\n

606
\n00:42:38,700 –> 00:42:41,600
\nPharisees house and sat down to
\nmeet and behold a woman in the <\/p>\n

607
\n00:42:41,600 –> 00:42:45,200
\ncity, which was a sinner when
\nshe knew that Jesus sat at meat <\/p>\n

608
\n00:42:45,200 –> 00:42:48,300
\nin the Pharisees house.
\nShe brought an alabaster box of <\/p>\n

609
\n00:42:48,300 –> 00:42:53,600
\nointment. and stood At His Feet
\nbehind him weeping and began to <\/p>\n

610
\n00:42:53,600 –> 00:42:56,500
\nwash his feet with tears and did
\nwipe them with the hairs of her <\/p>\n

611
\n00:42:56,500 –> 00:43:00,400
\nhead and kissed his feet and
\nanointed them with the ointment <\/p>\n

612
\n00:43:01,200 –> 00:43:05,500
\nand Simon sits there and
\nsilently criticizes Jesus as we <\/p>\n

613
\n00:43:05,500 –> 00:43:09,000
\nknow for failing to see that she
\nwas a sinner now when the <\/p>\n

614
\n00:43:09,000 –> 00:43:14,400
\nPharisee and verse 39, which had
\ndidn’t Jesus saw it the Pharisee<\/p>\n

615
\n00:43:14,400 –> 00:43:18,400
\nspake within himself saying this
\nman Jesus if he were a prophet <\/p>\n

616
\n00:43:18,400 –> 00:43:21,900
\nwould have known who What manner
\nof woman this is that touches <\/p>\n

617
\n00:43:21,900 –> 00:43:27,300
\nhim for she is a sinner.
\nAnd then Christ speaks the <\/p>\n

618
\n00:43:27,300 –> 00:43:32,400
\nparable to Simon and it is a
\nparable about love and <\/p>\n

619
\n00:43:32,400 –> 00:43:36,700
\nforgiveness to people.
\nHe says owes a debt owed a debt.<\/p>\n

620
\n00:43:36,700 –> 00:43:41,500
\nSorry neither could pay both are
\nforgiven. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:43:42,200 –> 00:43:43,600
\nNow.
\nWhat do you think Simon the one <\/p>\n

622
\n00:43:43,600 –> 00:43:48,900
\nforgiven 250 pens Would they
\nlove more or less than the one <\/p>\n

623
\n00:43:48,900 –> 00:43:54,500
\nforgiven the 500 pens and Simon
\nsays well, I suppose the one <\/p>\n

624
\n00:43:54,500 –> 00:43:59,600
\nforgiven the most.
\nWould be the most thankful and <\/p>\n

625
\n00:43:59,600 –> 00:44:03,900
\nlove the most so we pick up at
\nverse 40 and Jesus answering <\/p>\n

626
\n00:44:03,900 –> 00:44:06,800
\nsaid unto Simon.
\nI have something somewhat to say<\/p>\n

627
\n00:44:06,800 –> 00:44:10,000
\nunto thee and he say it Master
\nsay on there was a certain <\/p>\n

628
\n00:44:10,000 –> 00:44:13,200
\ncreditor which had two debtors.
\nThe one owed five hundred pence <\/p>\n

629
\n00:44:13,200 –> 00:44:16,300
\nin the other 50 and when they
\nhad nothing to pay he frankly <\/p>\n

630
\n00:44:16,300 –> 00:44:18,600
\nforgave them both tell me
\nthey’re for which of them will <\/p>\n

631
\n00:44:18,600 –> 00:44:23,000
\nlove him most Simon answered and
\nsaid I suppose that he to whom <\/p>\n

632
\n00:44:23,000 –> 00:44:26,800
\nhe forgave most and Jesus said
\nunto him thou Hast right? <\/p>\n

633
\n00:44:27,200 –> 00:44:31,300
\nCharged so Jesus now we’ll
\nexplain this Parable and the <\/p>\n

634
\n00:44:31,300 –> 00:44:35,800
\napplication of the terrible and
\nit’s all about the woman and <\/p>\n

635
\n00:44:35,800 –> 00:44:40,400
\nabout Simon.
\nSo he says in verse 44 This <\/p>\n

636
\n00:44:40,500 –> 00:44:47,700
\nWoman’s sins were great and she
\nwas forgiven and because she was<\/p>\n

637
\n00:44:47,700 –> 00:44:53,200
\nforgiven for her great sins.
\nShe loved much he turned to the <\/p>\n

638
\n00:44:53,200 –> 00:44:56,600
\nwoman in verse 44 and said unto
\nSimon seest thou this woman. <\/p>\n

639
\n00:44:57,000 –> 00:44:59,700
\nI entered into thine house.
\nThey gave us me no water for my <\/p>\n

640
\n00:44:59,700 –> 00:45:03,200
\nfeet, but she has washed my feet
\nwith tears and wiped them with <\/p>\n

641
\n00:45:03,200 –> 00:45:06,700
\nthe hairs of her head thou gave
\nus me no kiss, but this woman <\/p>\n

642
\n00:45:06,700 –> 00:45:11,000
\nsince the time I came in at not
\nceased to kiss my feet my head <\/p>\n

643
\n00:45:11,000 –> 00:45:14,000
\nwith all with oil doubt.
\nIt’s not annoying but this woman<\/p>\n

644
\n00:45:14,000 –> 00:45:17,300
\nhas anointed my feet with
\nointment wherefore I say unto <\/p>\n

645
\n00:45:17,300 –> 00:45:23,000
\nthee her sins, which are many
\nare forgiven for she loved much.<\/p>\n

646
\n00:45:23,500 –> 00:45:27,500
\nShe had come in faith to see the
\nconnection. the special <\/p>\n

647
\n00:45:27,500 –> 00:45:33,100
\nrelationship between faith and
\nlove she had come in faith. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:45:33,200 –> 00:45:38,800
\nHow do we know that in verse 50?
\nHe said Jesus said to the woman <\/p>\n

649
\n00:45:38,900 –> 00:45:45,400
\nby faith hath saved thee Go In
\nPeace So this woman comes into <\/p>\n

650
\n00:45:45,400 –> 00:45:51,500
\nthe house by faith a woman in
\nher situation does not present <\/p>\n

651
\n00:45:51,500 –> 00:45:57,100
\nherself to two men eating at a
\ntable and expose herself. for <\/p>\n

652
\n00:45:57,100 –> 00:46:00,700
\nthe sins that she’s committed
\nand put herself in that shameful<\/p>\n

653
\n00:46:00,700 –> 00:46:07,700
\nsituation some would say Unless
\nhe is coming by faith to be <\/p>\n

654
\n00:46:07,700 –> 00:46:13,100
\nforgiven of our sins.
\nAnd Jesus said she came by <\/p>\n

655
\n00:46:13,100 –> 00:46:18,200
\nfaith.
\nAnd she loved much. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:46:19,400 –> 00:46:23,200
\nAnd because of that love she
\nwill be forgiven. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:46:24,200 –> 00:46:28,700
\nThe other point to recognize
\nthere are two loves in this <\/p>\n

658
\n00:46:28,700 –> 00:46:32,600
\nsection of scripture.
\nThe problem is the one in verse <\/p>\n

659
\n00:46:32,600 –> 00:46:40,200
\n42 is II love the one in verse
\n47 is the first love this woman <\/p>\n

660
\n00:46:40,200 –> 00:46:45,400
\ncame through the door by faith.
\nAnd why did she come because she<\/p>\n

661
\n00:46:45,400 –> 00:46:51,000
\nloved much?
\nAnd she was forgiven by the Lord<\/p>\n

662
\n00:46:51,000 –> 00:46:55,000
\nJesus Christ.
\nAnd she goes out the door in <\/p>\n

663
\n00:46:55,000 –> 00:47:02,400
\nverse 42 tell me there for which
\nof them will love him most. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:47:04,700 –> 00:47:09,000
\nOnce she was forgiven.
\nWillie she will she loved the <\/p>\n

665
\n00:47:09,000 –> 00:47:13,100
\nmore or the less.
\nAnd even Simon could see the one<\/p>\n

666
\n00:47:13,100 –> 00:47:18,000
\nforgiven the most will go out
\nthe door and love the most <\/p>\n

667
\n00:47:18,000 –> 00:47:20,000
\nbecause of the Forgiveness.
\nThey had been given. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:47:21,800 –> 00:47:26,500
\nSo you see when God forgives us
\nour sins and we come before him <\/p>\n

669
\n00:47:26,500 –> 00:47:32,600
\nby faith and confess them.
\nJesus says we will be forgiven <\/p>\n

670
\n00:47:32,600 –> 00:47:38,000
\nfor what purpose simply to
\ncleanse our slate so we can go <\/p>\n

671
\n00:47:38,000 –> 00:47:40,400
\nout the door and say I had my
\nsins forgiven. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:47:40,400 –> 00:47:47,100
\nNo, Jesus said he who is
\nforgiving the most will go out <\/p>\n

673
\n00:47:47,100 –> 00:47:51,100
\nand love the most.
\nSo the reason God forgives us <\/p>\n

674
\n00:47:51,100 –> 00:47:54,900
\nour sins when we acknowledge
\nthem by faith. <\/p>\n

675
\n00:47:56,400 –> 00:47:59,500
\nAs having cleanse us from our
\nstands regardless of what they <\/p>\n

676
\n00:47:59,500 –> 00:48:03,100
\nare.
\nSo that it will bring us to an <\/p>\n

677
\n00:48:03,100 –> 00:48:07,400
\neven greater level of love for
\nhim. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:48:07,900 –> 00:48:10,400
\nSo he forgives us with an
\nexpectation. <\/p>\n

679
\n00:48:11,900 –> 00:48:15,400
\nLike what that woman who went
\nout the door that she would love<\/p>\n

680
\n00:48:15,400 –> 00:48:19,100
\nthe most and love even more.
\nThat’s what God is looking for <\/p>\n

681
\n00:48:19,100 –> 00:48:22,900
\nin our life.
\nThat because of his love for us.<\/p>\n

682
\n00:48:23,800 –> 00:48:26,900
\nWe will take advantage of the
\nForgiveness we have and the <\/p>\n

683
\n00:48:26,900 –> 00:48:30,100
\nsubtle warning to us in this
\nParable. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:48:30,100 –> 00:48:35,500
\nAnd in this lesson is that if we
\ndon’t confess our sins if we <\/p>\n

685
\n00:48:35,500 –> 00:48:38,000
\ndon’t acknowledge our
\nshortcomings if we place the <\/p>\n

686
\n00:48:38,000 –> 00:48:42,300
\nblame on everyone else and there
\naren’t many sins that we’re <\/p>\n

687
\n00:48:42,300 –> 00:48:46,200
\ngoing to look to be forgiven.
\nIf there aren’t many sends we’re<\/p>\n

688
\n00:48:46,200 –> 00:48:48,100
\ngoing to look for ourselves to
\nbe forgiven. <\/p>\n

689
\n00:48:49,300 –> 00:48:52,400
\nWe won’t have all that much love
\nfor our heavenly father when the<\/p>\n

690
\n00:48:52,400 –> 00:48:56,600
\nreality of the situation is we
\nare all great Sinners and we are<\/p>\n

691
\n00:48:56,600 –> 00:49:01,200
\nall in need of his love and his
\nforgiveness so that we will go <\/p>\n
