The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 16:14 NASB, “Let all that you do be done in love.” This scripture is a reminder to us that as Christians, we are called to live our lives in accordance with God’s plan and to be transformed by his love. In this sermon, we will explore five points about how we can be changed by God’s love and how this transformation should guide us in all the decisions we make.
Love is a choice. We have the choice each day to decide whether or not we will show love to those around us. This can be difficult when we are faced with difficult situations or people, but we must always remember that God loves all people and He has called us to love one another as He loves us.
Love is a source of strength. When we choose to show God’s love, we are strengthened and empowered by His Spirit. We can trust in Him and His power to help us through any situation.
Love is a lifestyle. When we choose to live our lives in accordance with God’s love, we will be transformed and our behavior will reflect this transformation. We will be patient, kind, and forgiving, and we will choose to do what is right and honorable in the eyes of God.
Love is a sacrifice. When we choose to love others, we must be willing to sacrifice our own desires and needs for the good of those around us. This can be difficult, but it is what God has called us to do and it is the only way to truly grow in our faith.
Love is a journey. We must never forget that transformation is a lifelong journey. We must continually strive to grow in our faith and be changed by God’s love. As we do this, we will be better equipped to serve God and our fellow man.
As we have seen, God’s love can transform us and guide us in all that we do. We must choose to live our lives in accordance with this love and to always do all things with love. May we never forget that transformation is a lifelong journey and that God’s love will sustain us each step of the way. Amen.
