00:00:00.000 All right, listen guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.620 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and
00:00:09.500 admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.220 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and
00:00:22.520 effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28.060 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31.180 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33.980 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.400 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38.300 Thank you so much.
00:00:39.580 God bless.
00:00:41.700 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44.520 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47.460 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:51.920 We must recognize that love, according to God's standard,
00:00:55.640 is a self-sacrificing love. Jesus himself said this, love has no one greater than this, that a man
00:01:03.280 would lay down his life for his friends. According to Jesus, love is costly. Love is sacrifice. True
00:01:13.080 biblical love comes at the cost, if necessary, of your own life. But here's the deal. There are many
00:01:22.220 people that in God's common grace image bearers but unregenerate that is human beings who are not
00:01:28.240 Christians they're not believers but they still bear the image of the living God because all
00:01:32.560 people have been created in his image and in his common grace rather than his special saving grace 0.93
00:01:37.440 they're not his children they're not Christians but in his common grace simply being image bearers 0.53
00:01:42.140 of the living God there are unbelievers unregenerate people that in their heart of hearts according to 0.79
00:01:47.000 Romans chapter 8 they are hostile towards God not just neutral but they are rebelling against them
00:01:51.980 they hate God and they go to war and make incredible sacrifices for their brothers in
00:02:00.180 arms I mean there is just story after story after story as we look through human history
00:02:05.980 of people who hated God on theological terms who were not followers of the Lord Jesus Christ
00:02:13.100 who were not born again and yet were willing to care for others at the cost of their own life
00:02:21.200 see so biblical love therefore is even more than that we cannot define biblical love
00:02:30.740 as a self-sacrificing love and stop then because there are many throughout human history
00:02:38.140 who have paid the ultimate sacrifice of their very own lives and still did not model biblical
00:02:47.340 love. Biblical love is a caring commitment at the cost of self, even being willing to lay down your
00:02:56.900 life. And it is committed toward a particular end, not just the person's physical and temporal
00:03:08.000 preservation for the next 30, 40, 50 years, but their eternal salvation and continued
00:03:15.100 sanctification being formed more and more into the image of the sun and anything short of that
00:03:22.560 is a failure at biblical love and we could even say one step further that biblical love is not
00:03:31.760 just self-sacrifice being willing to lay down your physical life in the temporal sense but the
00:03:40.000 apostle Paul says in Romans 9 that he would be willing to be eternally cut off for the sake of
00:03:46.660 his kinsmen his fellow Israelites according to the flesh and I will confess to you church I don't know
00:03:54.880 if I've ever loved like that I would be willing not just to die for someone I love but to go to 1.00
00:04:03.100 hell forever. And all of this, not just to preserve them for 30, 40, 50 years, but to
00:04:12.000 preserve their very eternal soul and to shape them into the image of Christ. Now that is love.
00:04:23.060 Set an example for the believers in love. What a tall task.
00:04:30.800 Thanks so much for listening.
00:04:32.100 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:04:35.320 take a moment and leave us a five-star review
00:04:37.680 if you enjoyed the show.
00:04:39.280 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us
00:04:42.560 get this biblically faithful content
00:04:44.540 to as many people as possible.
00:04:46.680 Thanks so much.
