#14 Love Life in Christ | Knowing Identity Matters PodcastHost: Dr. Stephen Phinney | Love is not what most people think. Since God is love and He lives within born-again believers, love is proof of releasing Him.Loving With His LifeOur love life, in and through the indwelling presence of Yeshua, goes beyond human understanding, as it is rooted in His boundless grace and divine love. When we invite Yeshua to dwell within us, His presence renews our hearts, enabling us to love by releasing His Life selflessly and authentically. This indwelling connection infuses our relationships with compassion, forgiveness, and a sense of purpose, reflecting His eternal love. Through His indwelling, we are empowered to love others as He loves us, creating a life marked by harmony, joy, and spiritual fulfillment. View the noted diagrams HERE. Releasing the Love of Christ: The Believer’s WitnessIn the life of a believer indwelt by the Holy Spirit, one of the most profound expressions of our faith is the release of the love of Christ to those around us. This chapter explores the importance of this divine outpouring and its transformative impact on our world. The love of Christ is not merely an emotion but a powerful force that compels us to act. It is the love that led Jesus to the cross for our salvation, and it is this same love that He calls us to share with others. As stated in John 13:34-35, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. Everyone will know you are my disciples if you love one another.” Releasing the love of Christ is about more than just words; it is about actions. It is about showing kindness to those in need, offering forgiveness to those who have wronged us, and sharing the hope of the Gospel with those who are lost. It is about reflecting the character of Christ in our daily lives. In this chapter, we will delve into the biblical teachings on love, explore practical ways to release the love of Christ in our daily lives and examine the transformative impact this can have on our relationships and our world. We will also address the challenges that can arise in this journey and provide guidance on overcoming them. As we journey through this chapter, let us remember the words of 1 John 4:7-8, “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God because God is love.”Listen to the full podcast today.We want to extend our eternal gratitude to each of you for taking the time to read our publications and engage with our posts.
