How Should God’s People Live Each Day?
They Should Live Like Jesus...
by loving other people as God has loved them!
Jesus loved others with God’s great, amazing love. He loved His enemies and did good to them, even when they hurt Him. He saw people in need and helped them. Jesus loved God’s people most of all, by even dying for them on the cross. He took all of their forever punishment for their sins. Why? So that they could have special closeness with God. And, so they could live happily with God forever. How great is Jesus’ love for people! Jesus wants God’s people to love other people with God’s great, amazing love, too. He wants them to be kind to their enemies and pray for them. He wants them to help people in need. He wants them to tell others how they can be saved and become God’s people, too. He wants them to love each other with a love that puts others first. God’s people need help to live like this. The Holy Spirit works in their hearts to help them to love others like Jesus has loved them: with God’s great, amazing love!
1 Corinthians 13:4-5
“...live a life of love, just as Christ loved us...”
Sometimes it is easy to love people. But sometimes it is very hard! God wants His people to keep loving others even when it is hard. God’s Word tells us what that kind of love looks like. It is being patient when someone is taking a long time with their turn. It is saying something kind to someone when you want to say something mean to them. It is being happy with what you have instead of wanting what someone else has. It is not boasting about your new toy that might be better than your friends. It is being happy to hear the truth and unhappy when something bad happens. And it never stops loving others. Love like this is very hard. God’s people need God’s help to love this way!
