August 25, 2021: SOAP #4283:  Jeremiah 37-39; Psalm 79; 2John

SCRIPTURE:  2John (NIV) 5 And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. 6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

OBSERVATION: The commandment is that we love each other.  Love is walking in obedience to His commands.  And what is His command?  It is that we walk in love! 

Love leads us to keep God’s command.  Keeping God’s command is to love! 

APPLICATION:  Businesses trying to establish a market often pay to have a trademark designed to represent their new product.  They want a strong link between their product and the trademark.  They desire that people who see the trademark think of their product. 

The church has a trademark; it is love! 

PRAYER: Lord, may the love that flows out of your church make people think of you.  And may the love that flows out of my life be an expression of your presence in me.  Amen
