Loving Earnestly
09/03/23 • 24 min
We always want the quick and easy fix, especially in American Christianity. When it comes to loving God and others, we often get caught up in thinking that the solutions need to look bigger, better, and faster. But Jesus shows us that the smaller things are actually the greater things. Jesus is constantly challenging our perspective on how we love. We are to love earnestly. As Christians, we need to become more aware and step out in obedience. We are called to community and to be missional. We love because we are overcome with His love for us.

The Enemy of Community
Sometimes we view church community as an optional bonus that comes with being a follower of Jesus. However, it’s an integral part of following Him. When we put our faith in Jesus, we believe the good news of the Gospel and that we belong to God and to one another. Our faith is personal but never private. It’s made to be experienced inside community. We encounter Jesus through the way we love one another. We are created, called, changed, and will be completed in community.
