Unit 3, Lesson 2

GENUINE LOVE – Encouraging One Another

DEMONSTRATING ENCOURAGING LOVE

We are committed to living Jesus’ “new commandment” to love one another as we have been loved so that all people will know we are his disciples. The greatest demonstration of true gospel faithfulness and obedience is to love God with all our hearts, our souls, our minds, and all our strength; and to love our neighbor as ourselves. That love is clearly seen and described in God’s word, is evident in every true believer’s life, and must be exemplary in church leaders and influencers.
