Although the "LOVE Challenge" was completed yesterday, let us continue to walk in the LOVE of GOD for the remainder of 2020 and through the remainder of our lives.  We are now returning to Colossians 3, as we keep our eyes on JESUS.




Colossians 3:1-4

1-  "Since, then, you have been raised with CHRIST, set your hearts on things above, where CHRIST is, seated at the right hand of GOD.  

2-  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

3-  For you died, and your life is now hidden with CHRIST in GOD.  

4- When CHRIST, WHO is your life, appears, then you also will appear with HIM in glory."

The LOVE Challenge - GOD's WAY!

The Bible shares the definition of GOD's AGAPE LOVE in 1 Corinthians 13.

Throughout the Bible, the illustration of this AGAPE LOVE is JESUS.

So, each day from February 15-29, 

let's plan to take a principle of AGAPE LOVE

and then look at something from JESUS' life,

GOD's LOVE 
endures and perseveres 
in all things!

JESUS 
endures and perseveres 
in all things!

Yesterday, we saw that LOVE HOPES all things!  JESUS is OUR HOPE!  Romans 5 connects to that in verses 1-5:

1- "Therefore, since we have been justified through FAITH, we have PEACE with GOD through our LORD JESUS CHRIST,

2- through WHOM we have gained access by FAITH into this GRACE in which we now stand.  And we boast in the HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD.

3-  Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces PERSEVERANCE;

4-  PERSEVERANCE, CHARACTER; and CHARACTER, HOPE.

5-  And HOPE does not put us to shame, because GOD's LOVE has been poured out into our hearts by the HOLY SPIRIT, WHO has been given to us."

Later, in Romans 15 we are told, in verses 4-6...

4-  "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the ENDURANCE taught in the Scriptures and the ENCOURAGEMENT they provide we might have HOPE.

5-  May the GOD WHO gives ENDURANCE and ENCOURAGEMENT give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that CHRIST JESUS had, 

6-  so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST."

GOD's LOVE 
through me for _______ hopes all things!

After JESUS lived 33 years on earth, HE ascended back into heaven.  Then, Acts tells us this happened to Saul, who was persecuting christians...

Acts 9:3-7

3-  "As Saul neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a LIGHT from heaven flashed around him.

4-  He fell to the ground and heard A VOICE say to him, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?'

5-  'WHO are YOU, LORD?' Saul asked.

6- 'I am JESUS, WHOM you are persecuting,' he replied.

7-  'Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.'


Later, after Saul became a christian, his name was changed to Paul and he wrote this to the Romans, in Romans 5:5 and Romans 15:13...

5- "And HOPE does not put us to shame, because GOD's LOVE has been poured out into our hearts through the HOLY SPIRIT, WHO has been given to us."


13- "May the GOD of HOPE fill you with all JOY and PEACE, as you trust in HIM, so that you may overflow with HOPE by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT."

In Mark 9, we read about a boy who needed healing and his father brought his son to JESUS...

20-  "So they brought the boy to HIM.  When he saw JESUS, immediately the spirit (evil) dashed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

21-   JESUS asked his father, 'How long has it been since it came into him?'
His father said, 'From childhood'.

22-  'Often it has thrown him into the fire and into the water to kill him.  But if YOU can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.'

23- JESUS said, 'If you believe, all things are possible to the one who believes'.

24- Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, 'LORD, I believe.  Help my unbelief!'

25-  When JESUS saw that the people came running together, HE rebuked the foul spirit, saying to it, 'You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter him no more.'

26-  The spirit cried out and convulsed him greatly.  But it came out of him, and he was as dead, so that many said, 'He is dead.'

27- But JESUS took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

28- When HE had entered the house, HIS disciples asked HIM privately, 'Why could we not cast it out?'

29-  HE said to them, 'This kind cannot come out except by prayer and fasting.'

LOVE 
 bears all things!

LOVE Challenge-Day 11:

GOD's LOVE through me for _________
 bears all things!

JESUS lived HIS LIFE bearing much... all things...

JESUS lived HIS LIFE 

choosing that no matter how tough things were, 

HE would not sin!

JESUS died, bearing all our sins!  

So, as the apostle Paul says, in 2 Corinthians 5:

13- "If we are 'out of our mind,' as some say, it is for GOD; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

14- For CHRIST's LOVE compels us, because we are convinced that ONE died for all, and therefore all died.  

15-  And HE died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for HIM WHO died for them and was raised again.

16- So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view.  Though we once regarded CHRIST in this way,  we do do no longer.

17-  Therefore, if anyone is in CHRIST, the new creation has come:  The old has gone, the new is here!

18-  All this is from GOD, WHO reconciled us to HIMSELF through CHRIST and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

19-  that GOD was reconciling the world to HIMSELF in CHRIST, not counting people's sins against them.  And HE has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

20-  We are therefore CHRIST's ambassadors, as though GOD were making HIS appeal through us.  We implore you on CHRIST's behalf:  Be reconciled to GOD.  GOD made HIM WHO had no sin to be sin for us, so that in HIM we might become the righteousness of GOD."

GOD's LOVE through me for _________
does not rejoice in evil,
but rejoices in the TRUTH! 

There is a huge battle going on!  The devil and his demons are evil!  They work hard to get us to follow them.  We must choose to not rejoice with them, but believe that JESUS is the TRUTH and pray to HIM for help!  Read this story from JESUS' LIFE on earth and know that prayer matters.



Mark 9:14-29

14-  "When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them.  

15-  As soon as all the people saw JESUS, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet HIM.

16-  'What are you arguing with them about?' HE asked.

17-  A man in the crowd answered, 'TEACHER, I brought YOU my son, who is possessed by a spirit (demon) that has robbed him of speech.

18-  Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground.  He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid.  I asked YOUR disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not."

19- 'You unbelieving generation,' JESUS replied, 'how long shall I stay with you?  How long shall I put up with you?  Bring the boy to me.'

20-  So they brought him.  When the spirit (demon) saw JESUS, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion.  He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

21-  JESUS asked the boy's father, 'How long has he been like this?'  'From childhood,' he answered.

22-  'It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him.  But if YOU can do anything, take pity on us and help us.'

23-  'If you can?' said JESUS.  'Everything is possible for one who believes.'

24-  Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, 'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!'

25-   When JESUS saw that a crowd was running to the scene, HE rebuked the impure spirit.  'You deaf and mute spirit,'  HE said, 'I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.'

26-  The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out.  The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, 'He's dead.'

27-  But JESUS took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.

28-  After JESUS had gone indoors, HIS disciples asked HIM privately, 'Why couldn't we drive it out?'

29-  HE replied, 'This kind can come out only by prayer.'
