Is God's Love Real? (1 Corinthians 15:45-49)
Roger Thrower, August 2, 2015Part of the Unshockable Love Series series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Is Christianity real or fake? When a true follower of Jesus says that they love God, what motivates them to say this? Why would anybody say they love God? Is it real or fake? What could have happened to people who have a deep love for God? Does God have favorites or does he love anybody?
People who love God have experienced his:
1. Forgiveness.
* Luke 7:36-50
* From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Cor. 15:16-17
2. Healing touch.
* Matthew 8:1-4
*For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:33
3. Delivering power.
* Mark 5:1-20
* For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person. Mark 7:21-23
