The Love of Christ
Scripture Passage:
John 3:16 Attached audio files:
INTRODUCTION: For God so loved the world..."The Love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell".
- His Love Is Unsearchable (Ephesians 3:18-19 [18] May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
[19] And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
See All...) - His Love Is Great (Ephesians 2:4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
See All...; John 15:13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
See All...; Romans 5:6-10 [6] For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. [10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
See All...) - His Love Is Manifest to Us (Romans 5:8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
See All...) - His Love Is Sacrificial (Ephesians 5:2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
See All...; 1 John 3:16Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
See All...; 4:10
See All...) - His Love Is Eternal (Romans 8:35-39 [35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
[36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
See All...) - His Love Is Our Example (John 13:34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
See All...; 15:13
See All...; Ephesians 5:25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
See All...) - His Love Is Our Constraint (2 Corinthians 5:14-15 [14] For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
[15] And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
