- 0:03Speaker 1: one to them. But the world preached did not profit
- 0:06Speaker 1: them because their fit did not feed on the world.

- 0:41Speaker 1: Another episode on fate feed by the campaign of Christ
- 0:44Speaker 1: Episode and thirty.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Nine The labor of love, the labor of love.
- 0:52Speaker 1: We come to see that in our world people draw
- 0:56Speaker 1: away from the affection, from the emotion, and from the
- 1:00Speaker 1: responsibilities of love. Love isn't what the world defines for us.
- 1:04Speaker 1: It is what God defines for us. And that is
- 1:09Speaker 1: why it is the root of his commandment. If we
- 1:12Speaker 1: must work in God, we must work in the revelation
- 1:16Speaker 1: of his love.
- 1:17Speaker 2: For God is love. There is a power of this love.
- 1:22Speaker 1: That is, you are insufficient to love by yourself, to
- 1:25Speaker 1: love without that power efficienc.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Chapter three, best.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Putting for this cause, I bow my knees onto the
- 1:32Speaker 1: Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, of whom the whole
- 1:35Speaker 1: family in heaven, and he is named, that he would
- 1:39Speaker 1: grant you, according to the witches of his glory, to
- 1:42Speaker 1: be strengthened, to be strengthen with what with mind power
- 1:47Speaker 1: by His spirit in the inner man, that Christ made
- 1:50Speaker 1: well in your hearts, by it that yet been rooted
- 1:53Speaker 1: and grounded in love, that ye made it so that
- 1:56Speaker 1: you will be rooted and grounded in So you see
- 1:58Speaker 1: that that power. Until you are strengthened with power by
- 2:02Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit in your innamor you will not have
- 2:05Speaker 1: what the part, You will not be rooted and grounded
- 2:08Speaker 1: in love. And in stays mays, they think that you
- 2:10Speaker 1: may be able to comprehend. So it's with that power
- 2:13Speaker 1: that you're able to comprehend. What is the breadth, the length,
- 2:16Speaker 1: the death, and the height.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Of the love of God. It says what to know
- 2:20Speaker 2: the love of Christ, which passed.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Knowledge, that you may be ful, that you may be
- 2:25Speaker 1: filled with the fullness of God. With the fullness of God,
- 2:30Speaker 1: the power to love comes from the Spirit of God.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Love is the fruit of the Spirit. So the labor
- 2:37Speaker 1: of love comes from the spirit of God.
- 2:41Speaker 2: The labor of love.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Has four dimensions, the breadth, the length, the depth, and
- 2:47Speaker 1: the heights.
- 2:48Speaker 2: This is what ensures that a man is rooted.
- 2:51Speaker 1: And grounded in love, that your actions are weighed by
- 2:54Speaker 1: the love quantity. So the first dimension is the breath.
- 2:59Speaker 1: This about the initials, the general all areas that it covers.
- 3:04Speaker 1: That means how wide the range. For God so loved
- 3:07Speaker 1: the world, the entire world drives the religions or people
- 3:12Speaker 1: for God's love. Here everyone is accommodated and seen in
- 3:15Speaker 1: the same light. So we see that there is a
- 3:18Speaker 1: generalization that brings out that initial love, the breadth. Now
- 3:23Speaker 1: the second dimension after that is the lengths. This is
- 3:27Speaker 1: talking about how far the extent priate love can be shown,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and this factor is influenced. This dimension is influenced by
- 3:37Speaker 1: the response.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Of the people of our libigy.
- 3:40Speaker 1: So for godsil love the world that he gave is
- 3:42Speaker 1: only because of some that whosoever that whosoever is world
- 3:46Speaker 1: brings about the lengths. Okay, is it alsoever believe that
- 3:50Speaker 1: we will not perish? So it is God's will that
- 3:53Speaker 1: everyone be saved. Nobody perishes, Everyone has life, But there
- 3:57Speaker 1: is a response, and that is why people can love
- 3:59Speaker 1: people with A person can love and that person just
- 4:01Speaker 1: because of the person's attitude, character, action responsive. Okay, so
- 4:08Speaker 1: the lens is a place of proving. Now beyond that,
- 4:11Speaker 1: the next the third dimension is the depth. This depth,
- 4:16Speaker 1: this dimension, this phase has to do with vesting your
- 4:21Speaker 1: emotions upon an individual. Upon a persing of This means
- 4:25Speaker 1: that you are more consigned with the individual than doing
- 4:29Speaker 1: things for the individual. And understand this. Someone can decide
- 4:32Speaker 1: to do things for you hold the astroma just to
- 4:35Speaker 1: get raises on all your acknowledgement and all the rest
- 4:39Speaker 1: or the person is not conserned with you. That is
- 4:42Speaker 1: why in the depth of love, God is more concerned
- 4:46Speaker 1: about you than in doing things or because if the
- 4:50Speaker 1: blessing is going to destroy you, if the blessing is
- 4:53Speaker 1: going to make you perish, God will be told that
- 4:57Speaker 1: blessing in order to save your soul. Here is where
- 5:01Speaker 1: we see the chastisement of the Lord. Here is where
- 5:04Speaker 1: the Lord molds us into his image, into his likeness.
- 5:08Speaker 1: The depth of love is way beyond the material expressions
- 5:11Speaker 1: of love or the means by which it is consern
- 5:15Speaker 1: It is consent. It's a show of consern for the life,
- 5:20Speaker 1: for the life, for the pressing for the individual.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Here is where God does his investment.
- 5:26Speaker 1: So the death of love is where investments has done.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Emotions are involved.
- 5:32Speaker 1: This is why womens grow and we'll see the seed
- 5:35Speaker 1: required for growing in love.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Member.
- 5:37Speaker 1: There is a power that's consource that makes it possible
- 5:40Speaker 1: for that love seed to grow into a three. Now,
- 5:43Speaker 1: the fast and final dimension is the height is what
- 5:48Speaker 1: the heights of love? This is where this is where
- 5:52Speaker 1: a scripture like Prophabs tends the stuff makes a lot
- 5:55Speaker 1: of sense. He says, love converarate all sins, Love covered
- 6:01Speaker 1: all saints, Love covert all saints. This is powerful because
- 6:05Speaker 1: we know that God is loved. And when the Bible
- 6:09Speaker 1: tells us that there is forgiveness with God, that he
- 6:12Speaker 1: may be feared.
- 6:12Speaker 2: In the Old Testament, they are preyed by the fear
- 6:15Speaker 2: of God, but you understand the progle But in the.
- 6:17Speaker 1: New Testament we are prayed by an understanding of the
- 6:20Speaker 1: love of God.
- 6:21Speaker 2: That love of God brings about the reverence the honor
- 6:23Speaker 2: for God. And this means this shows.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Us that each time as individuals that we fall shot
- 6:29Speaker 1: of the New York God God covers us. If not,
- 6:32Speaker 1: we will die and go to hell imility. There is
- 6:35Speaker 1: forgiveness with God that he may be loved. That's how
- 6:38Speaker 1: it is, some small hundred at thirty Le's four. So
- 6:43Speaker 1: this last dimension that we are talking about, the heights,
- 6:46Speaker 1: has nothing to do. You don't have any responts. He
- 6:48Speaker 1: is not as a result of your works. Is not
- 6:52Speaker 1: determined by that.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Because said there is forgiveness with him that he may
- 6:57Speaker 2: be feared. And I put it like this, that he
- 6:59Speaker 2: may be loved, that we will love him more. Yes,
- 7:03Speaker 2: it makes sense. So the point where you.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Love an individual that you are able to overlook their shortcomings,
- 7:11Speaker 1: their weaknesses, you know, be blinded to their sins.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Yes, their negative attitude. They say love is blind. That
- 7:19Speaker 2: is exactly the height of love.
- 7:22Speaker 1: At this point, you do not care about yourself for
- 7:24Speaker 1: the individual or the person whom you love. God loves us,
- 7:28Speaker 1: and in the labor of our love he wants us
- 7:31Speaker 1: to see. He wants to see these dimensions. Even as
- 7:33Speaker 1: He shows us these dimensions, as we grow in him,
- 7:37Speaker 1: I remain the fate campaign of Christ. Remember, be God fidant,
- 7:41Speaker 1: Be God vidant. The Lord commands the angels of your waters.
- 7:46Speaker 1: To this death, the Lord lived up the life of
- 7:49Speaker 1: his countenance upon you. Blessed the God for eternity.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Keying.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Brought to you by the fake campaign of Christ. Keeping
- 8:32Speaker 1: the faith of Christ in the community of believers Global
- 8:35Speaker 1: Global m
