God Proved His Love Through the Cross of Christ
Teaching:
Love is not love without sacrifice.
The climax of God’s grace is the cross.
God has already proven His love.
Application:
Love God sacrificially.
Find security in God’s love and grace displayed on the cross.
Prove our love for God through obedience.
Discussion:
How can we practically love God sacrificially?
Prayer:
Father, I acknowledge that I do not deserve Your love and kindness, for what I truly deserve is punishment. Yet instead of destroying me, You have loved me and cleansed me. Thank You for sending Jesus to bear away my sins and punishment by nailing them to Himself on the cross, revealing the climax of Your love for me. May Your Holy Spirit empower me to sacrificially love Jesus in return and to live a life that glorifies and honors You. In Jesus’ name, amen!
