THE UNDISPUTED, UNDEFEATED CHAMPION OF LOVE

Rick Jackson

I. UNDISPUTED

There's really no argument about it. The love of God is greater than any other love.

1. It is a gracious love- it can't be bought or earned (Rm. 5:8)

He loves the unlovable, He loves the unlovely, He loves the unloving. I Cor. teaches there are 3 kinds of people (natural , carnal, spiritual) and God loves them all. Rm. 5:8, Heb. 12:6ff, Jn. 14:21

2. It is a giving love- it can't be outgiven or outlasted (Jn. 3:16)

True Christianity conquers with love not force. Think of the reaction to The Satanic Verses by Salmon Rushdie with the reaction to The DaVinci Code.
Christians fought the falsehood but with truth not fear.

3. It is a great love- the changes it brings are incomparable (Eph. 2:3-5, I Tm. 1:14)

II. UNDEFEATED

1. No-one can separate us from it (Rm. 8:35-39)

2. No-one can supercede it (Ps. 27:9-10, Jn. 15:13)

3. No-one can surpass it (Eph. 3:18-20)

III. THE CHAMPION OF LOVE

1. He came (I Jn. 4:10)

2. He saw (Mt. 9:35-38)

3. He conquered (Jn. 19:30, Rm. 1:4, Col. 2:6-15)
