S4E16: Love’s Empowerment and Love’s Teacher

In Season 4 Episode 16 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we continue to talk about Scripture's imperative to love one another, and specifically about love's empowerment and love's teacher.

1 Thessalonians 3:12 says, "and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all men, just as we also do for you." 

Can you recall a time when you knew with certainty that God was empowering your ability to love someone that was unlovely? Love is based on His love for us and not the other person's loveliness. Our ability or inability to love others as God loves them is a testament to our growth and maturity in Christ. It is also a testimony to an unbelieving world of the reality and power of the gospel.
