8. Love

"You must love the Lord your God with your whole mind, your whole being, and all your strength."

Matthew 22:37 | Deuteronomy 6:5

"You must love your neighbor as yourself."

Matthew 22:39 | Leviticus 19:18

"My commandment is this — to love one another just as I have loved you."

John 15:12

"No one has greater love than this — that one lays down his life for his friends."

John 15:13

"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."

Matthew 5:44

The Good Samaritan — Luke 10:30-37

What would it cost you to love the next person in front of you the way Jesus loved you?

9. Forgiveness

"For if you forgive others their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive you your sins."

Matthew 6:14-15

"Not seven times, I tell you, but seventy-seven times!"

Matthew 18:22

"I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more."

Note: John 7:53-8:11 is absent from the earliest manuscripts. The NET Bible includes the passage with a note on its manuscript status.

"Your sins are forgiven."

Luke 7:48

Parable of the Unforgiving Servant — Matthew 18:23-35

Parable of the Prodigal Son — Luke 15:11-32

The Sinful Woman Forgiven — Luke 7:36-50

Who have you not forgiven — and what has that cost you?

John 17:3

"For this is the way God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."

"Whoever obeys my word will never see death."

John 8:51

Are you treating eternal life as something that begins at death, or as something you are living now?
