Title: The Art of Love (1 John 04:20)
Content Now, the war between international and national countries has definitely moved from an ideological war to an economic war.
The collapse of the USSR, the reduction of US nuclear weapons
Economic wars mean technological wars. The fierce battle over technical information continues every day.
The country with the technology is the winner, and the country of the pastor is the loser.
Technology soon became energy, power, money, and national power.
Today's problem is technology.
Love also requires skill.
Love is the greatest gift God has given to man, and the greatest gift is love, but what we feel most lacking now is the lack of technology to preserve and promote love-love.
A person without love is the poorest person A person who has not learned the art of loving is the most ignorant person.
If we look at how God loved us, we can learn three great techniques of love.
If we learn this skill, we will be able to create a home full of love, a church full of love, and a society where love flows like a river, which is what we dream of.
Why does it still feel like a dream when I hear these words? It's because God doesn't give us enough love. If we hesitate, it's God's excuse! The problem is that our skills in dealing with that love are poor.
As you listen to God's Word today, I pray that you will be able to make the following three distinct loving skills your own.
[Main subject]
1. Give. God's love has been shown to be giving.
John 3:16 "So" = "He gave a Son."
No other words needed. Love is giving.
You give, you don't give, you get. They love without giving. That's why wives keep asking their husbands, "Honey, you really love me"
Love is what the giver knows by giving, and the receiver knows how to receive it. It is clearly seen, touched, and felt.
There is no emotion as clear as love. There is no experience as sure as love.
"Give me love-!" Don't just pray, give anything.
Franklin and the Legislature/Could you lend me a week of your precious book/It was still, but the friendship has lasted a lifetime.
Love is giving, giving is love. It is God's love skill.
"I have nothing to give-!" No one is poor enough to not give love, no one is rich enough not to be loved
% A single word (silence for some reason makes old parents fidget, and that shrunken heart is engulfed in a lump of sadness and bitterness) A stingy person - a person who is not good at love. Let's come.
% Is there no hand? Hold my hand (If you add 75-degree eyes full of affection to both hands, it rises to 1,000 degrees, and if you add kind words of recognition and encouragement, it rises to 10,000 degrees)
%Gum - Think of me while chewing
%One ballpoint pen - When you run out, just say it.
Love is running out because you don't give and only receive when you say you love it.
I know that love will happen automatically, so even the love that exists will wither away.
The skill that God loves is, first, that he freely gave his Son.
Starting today, start doing "Give Exercises" at home.
This is a promise. Whatever you give, love will follow, come back, love is touched, and love is felt the kingdom of God's love will be established there and will be built more and more splendidly.
2. Do it instead. God's love was a love that took the place of others' mistakes.
slain his own sheep instead of Isaac slaughtered his own “lamb” countless times for the sins of Israel. slaughtered his own son, the Lamb of God, for the mortal sins of all sinners.
2 Corinthians 5:14,15, "For one man died for all," "He died for all" 21 "God made him who knew no sin to be sin for us" Titus2 :14 "He gave Himself for us" 1 Peter 3:18 "Christ also made the righteous for the unrighteous"
God's love is the love that takes the place of the faults of others.
%Parents and children / When I was young, my mother took care of me. Parents are good at making up for their children's faults.
Children are clumsy in taking the place of their aging parents. Drinking and eating, I'm so sorry, but even urination-. Because I suffered like this-, I am responsible for your weakness in old age.
% Married couple/ Adam and Eve, ribs instead of soil, and “fill with flesh” Bones of bones, Flesh of flesh = Substitutes for each other. The first thing I read after the fall is because of ashes.
It's your fault, why is it my fault,
"Honey, it's all my fault - when my wife's heart trembles in such a case - that's what love now comes in." Then, more love, thicker than blood, flows out flat from that heart! This is the art of producing and sharing love.
It's too late to do it for you, blaming others, uncovering other people's faults, and creating non-existent faults will deplete the love that is scarcely left in the world again!
But look! There is an unmistakable reward for the fruit/love you reap when you do it for them.
2 Corinthians 5:15, “He died for all, that the living should no longer live for themselves, but for those who died for them and were raised again.
Titus 2:14 He gave Himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify us, that we might become a people zealous for good works.
1 Peter 3:18, Christ the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God.
If you make up for your husband's lack, your husband will lead you, if you make up for your children's mistakes, your children will lead you, and if you replace your neighbor's weakness, your neighbor will be led to God! Become one who does not live for himself, but for God and his neighbor! Turn away from sin and become zealous for good works.
This is a promise. These are the sure fruits that can only be obtained if you learn the technology that replaces them.
I wish you all the best in making up for the faults of others.
3. Accept it.
The three parables of Luke 15/The lost coin, the sheep, and the son-The joy of the master, the shepherd, and the father regained of love.
That is the love of God. However, the purpose of Jesus preaching this chapter is contained in the story added after the third parable after the story of the three parables is finished. / The sin of the firstborn who does not accept him. Hear, you Pharisees, hypocrites! I will open my heart to tax collectors and sinners!
The third art of love is acceptance.
(A story of a couple) A husband who accepts Jun-ho's wife with a generous heart/ A husband who accepts his wife who made a mistake - that love can only be felt and touched. The wound gradually heals as time goes on, and the sweetness left behind by the love you received is what will last for the rest of your life.
When you are stumped by your child's obvious mistake, this bastard's Shiki! don't do it despair
Pretend you don't know or accept it generously. This is a technique that promotes love between parents and children. There is sure to be an answer later.
Milk incident on the train.
The greatest skill among the art of love is to generously accept those who make mistakes and fail.
Jesus and his disciples / gave it for 3 years. Instead, the disciples who escaped and betrayed them - completed discipleship training for 40 days after the resurrection.
He went looking for his disciples and received them. This is the completion of discipleship education. In the last verse of the last chapter of Luke, “They returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were always in the temple praising God.” They became disciples who gathered boldly and sang and waited for the promise.
Is there any mistakes or faults in your supervisor? Please accept him as a whole with a generous heart. Undoubtedly, passionate love will come up from the bottom of your heart, wriggling. And the person I accepted will become the kind of person you truly want.
[Conclusion] Did you engrave the three skills you love in your heart? One, two, three,
Start giving with what you have now, and make up for the faults of others.
Accept him as he is.
Congratulations on becoming skilled technicians in the work you love!
