Love is a fundamental force with tremendous power, but most of us don't know what it means. We struggle to understand the difference between modern-day love and the type of love that Jesus references in the Bible. This book provides a thorough analysis of biblical love, explaining how the Bible describes the characteristics of love, along with a detailed interpretation of Hebrew and Greek words. Filled with motivational and inspirational Bible-based poems, the book includes a reference section so you can become familiar with where keywords are found in Scripture and how they are used. A biblical proofs section walks you through how mankind was created, what caused us to fall from the grace of God, how we were reconciled and restored, and what it takes to live and walk in the grace of God every day. After reading this book, you will have a full understanding of what Jesus meant when He spoke of love.

In the Bible we read in Isaiah 55:8-9 that God’s thoughts and ways are higher than our thoughts and ways, as higher as the heavens are higher than the earth higher! So, why wouldn’t we want to know what they are? And even though the Bible, inspired by God, was written by different men at different times in history, it is consistent. In fact, we see things repeated throughout it that can teach us something about God. For instance, when we see ‘fingers’ in the Bible, we can find a message about judgment. In this book, we follow things that are repeated in the Bible to learn about God. God’s word is amazing like that! And God’s Word is the absolute love truth!

Is it better to prove our point? Or just try to love? Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today’s tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy for us to focus on proving our points rather than extending God’s grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love but never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God’s plan. As believers in Christ, we need to be known for both truth and love. In this video Bible study, evangelist Matt Brown draws on the example of the apostle Paul to show how believers can influence their world with the truth while living in a way that reveals their love. By developing the fruit of the Spirit, we naturally begin to draw others to the love of Christ within us . . . and to the truth found in God’s Word. Truth plus love is the formula for transforming our lives and influencing the world for Christ. The Truth Plus Love Study Guide includes video teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible exploration, and weekly personal study and reflection materials. Sessions include: Truth Plus Joy Truth Plus Peace Truth Plus Gentleness Truth Plus Faithfulness Truth Plus Patience Truth Plus Love Designed for use with the Truth Plus Love Video Study (9780310112358), sold separately. Streaming video also available.

For years, Christians have argued, debated, and fought one another while "speaking the truth in love," yet we are no closer to the grace-filled life Jesus modeled. Biblical scholar and popular podcast host of The Bible for Normal People, Jared Byas casts a new vision for the Christian life that's built not on certainty, but on the risk of love. A biblically-based Christian life is not grounded in having all the answers but in a living relationship. This ultimately shifts our focus from collecting the "right" answers to loving others deeply and authentically. With stories and insights drawn from his years as a pastor, professor, and podcast host, Jared Byas calls us back to the heart of the Bible: that truth is only true when it's lived out in love. In a refreshing voice that's both witty and profoundly revelatory, Jared unpacks the concept of truth, its meaning, and why we so often fight over it. He makes a compelling case for how what we believe is less important than how we believe it and that, more than anything else, telling the truth in love is about following Jesus. For anyone who has ever felt forced to choose between truth and love, acceptance and rightness, this book offers a path forward beyond truth wars and legalistic religion to a love that matters more.

Excerpt from Love Truths From the Bible The Creator has not left his creatures without a revelation the Lord has not left his servants with out a commandment; the Father has not left his children without an expression of care; the Bride groom, to whom we have been betrothed forever in righteousness, judgment, loving kindness, mer cies and faithfulness, has not left his bride without a message of love. And from this revelation, this commandment, this expression of care, this message of love a few truths have been chosen, that are encouraging to the soul, precious in our own experience and doubtless in the experience of others.

What is love? This six-week Bible study helps teen girls understand what true love looks like. By focusing on the life of Jesus, these girls will come to understand that Love is, first and foremost, a Someone. The more we understand Jesus, the more we understand God's original intent behind this overused, abused, and muddled word: love. Each week girls will do an in-depth study of one of Jesus' relationships described in the Bible. By examining the way Jesus interacted with others, they will see the perfect example of love. Through four repetitive phases—read, realize, respond, and retain—teen girls will learn a method of studying the Bible that they can apply to any Scripture passage and that will motivate them to read more frequently and independently in the future. By analyzing the Bible stories, each girl will in turn be able to analyze her own relationships to see if they are based on God’s idea of love, and will walk away with a deeper understanding of the love relationship God seeks to have with her. Features include: 6 sessions of study
