Theme: Love: A More Excellent Way
Our study on Love, A most excellent way continues this Sunday. Having looked at what love is, we turn our attention to what love is not, starting with ‘Love is not boastful and proud.
Key Learning Points:
1. Boasting and pride are self-focused, which is the direct opposite of what Christian love is. As such, boasting and pride cannot coexist with godly love.
2. As Christians, we should not do things for vainglory, but out of genuine and selfless love. This is a key distinguishing element between Believers and Unbelievers.
3. Another thing which makes boasting and arrogance so grievous is that it is presumptuous and leaves God out of one’s plans. And it is the reason we so easily trample on others in pursuit of our plans and targets. This, God says, is sin. Submitting to the will of God in our planning can save us from the sin boasting and pride.
See attached outline for your perusal and advance preparation.
May God bless His word to our hearts in Christ’s Name. Amen.
