“Love of God” Jude 1:21
II. We are Warned of the
Reality of the need of Faithful Loyalty
A. Agony – (4) Charity
suffereth long,
B. Amiable - (4a) and is
kind;
C. Altruistic
(unselfish) - (4b) charity envieth not;
D. Abase - (4c) charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself
unseemly, seeketh not
her own,
E. Angelic - (5 b) is
not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Colossians 3:12 -Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one
another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any:
even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put
on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Matthew 5:39 - But I say
unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy
right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:9 - Blessed
are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
F. Affirmed - (6)
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
John 8:32 - And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Romans 8:28 - And we
know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them
who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he
also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might
be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate,
them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he
justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these
things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Proverbs 22:21 - That I
might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest
answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
