Sunday Connect Lesson for August 6, 2023

WHAT REAL LOVE LOOKS LIKE
We find examples of God's perfect love all through the Bible.

Study the Word: God's very nature is love, and His actions demonstrate what love is like.

Key Truth: God is perfect love (1 John 4:7-19).  God does not decide to love.  He is love.  He defines love by His nature.  We only know love as a concept because God has made Himself known to us.

Key Truth: God loves all people because His nature is love (Psalm 40:1-17).  We need to view all God does through the lens of His love for us.  In all circumstances, we are confident that God loves us and does what is best for us.

Key Truth: God has shown us what love is (Ephesians 2:1-10; Romans 5:6-11; John 3:16-17). Love is not based on merit but on sacrifice.  It should motivate us to please God and care well for others.

Family Connection: Continue the discussion after church!
What do we mean when we say God is love? What is the ultimate proof of God's love for us? How will you demonstrate love to others this week, following God's example?
