February 16, 2001

 

1. Describe ONE of the following two experiences:

  • A time when you experienced joy because of unconditional love.
  • A time when you felt crushed, perhaps as a child, because of a lack of unconditional love.

2. How has God revealed his love? John 3:16, Romans 5:7-8, 1 John 4:7-10

3. Discuss what is meant and not meant when we talk about God's unconditional love by commenting on the following statements:

  • No matter what you've done you can be forgiven.
  • You can accept or reject God's unconditional love.
  • If rejected, God still loves you unconditionally but you would not inherit eternal life.
  • Once accepted, he will never forsake you. "We can do nothing to lose what we did nothing to deserve."

4. How are we to respond once Christ has embraced us with His love according to John 13:34 and 15:12? Who do you need to love this way, and how will you do it?

Table Leaders: Close in prayer giving men an opportunity to pray for anyone who needs to experience God's unmerited, unconditional love (including for themselves).
