9. God’s holy love is… REVEALED THROUGH CHRIST JESUS 1 John 3:16a (NIV) This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (Amp) For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].

10. God’s holy love is… RECEIVED BY FAITH Romans 3:21-24 (NIV) But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

12. God’s holy love is… WORTH SACRIFICING FOR Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.
