AI OVERVIEW: We are created to love God and to receive his love in return, and Jesus came to liberate us from the power of sin so we can love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and love our neighbor as ourselves. There are two New Testament Greek words for love: agape, a sacrificial love, and phileo, a brotherly affection; eros, the sexual kind, is not found in the New Testament. God is a jealous God whose love requires exclusive devotion, so anything that competes for our allegiance—idols such as money, fame, or sports—hinders our purpose; true love is giving, forgiving, and loyal, and obedience—doing what God asks—is the concrete expression of loving him.
YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION: God created each of us in order that we might experience His love and love Him in return. Dr. Stanley teaches from Luke 10:25-28 on the greatest commandment of all. Learn why loving God, others, and ourselves should be the first priority of our lives.
