R12 - Week 4

Romans 12:9-10 NLT
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.

Romans 12:9 TPT
Let the inner movement of your heart always be to love one another, and never play the role of an actor wearing a mask.

Love is a Verb.

We are selfish by nature.

We are good actors when it comes to loving others.

3 Ways to Love Others Well

1. Learn to Listen.

Learning to Listen to others will help us become:
Empathetic
Compassionate

2. Realize you don’t have to be right.



3. Honor Others.

How can we honor one another?

Respect every human because “All People Matter to God”.

Recognize and celebrate one another’s uniqueness.

Highly regard one another with our words when we are not with them personally.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

1 Corinthians 13:13
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

John 15:12
This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.

John 13:35
“Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
