Not Self-Seeking As love is described – 1 Cor. 13:1-7 Some follow amiss – Acts 5:1-6 For who & what He is And His actions – Rom 5:6-10

Not Prideful Salvation is a gift Stubborn hearts will not obey – John 14:21- 24 Imitate Christ – Phil. 2:3-7

Rejoicing In the Truth Despite opposition – 2 Cor. 4:13-16 Spreading truth everywhere – Tit. 2:11-15 With zeal With one another – Eph. 5:15-20

Conclusion Loving the Father is essential, but consider how and why you love Him. Is it only for some reward? Is it to appear more pious to those around you? Or is it a sincere, earnest love?
