Love, according to God's standard, is a self-sacrificing love. Biblical love is a caring commitment at the cost of self, and it is committed toward a particular end, not just the person s physical and temporal preservation, but their eternal salvation and continued sanctification being formed more and more into the image of God.

00:00:00 All right, listen guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and
00:00:09 admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and
00:00:22 effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38 Thank you so much.
00:00:39 God bless.
00:00:41 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:51 We must recognize that love, according to God's standard,
00:00:55 is a self-sacrificing love. Jesus himself said this, love has no one greater than this, that a man
00:01:03 would lay down his life for his friends. According to Jesus, love is costly. Love is sacrifice. True
00:01:13 biblical love comes at the cost, if necessary, of your own life. But here's the deal. There are many
00:01:22 people that in God's common grace image bearers but unregenerate that is human beings who are not
00:01:28 Christians they're not believers but they still bear the image of the living God because all
00:01:32 people have been created in his image and in his common grace rather than his special saving grace 0.93
00:01:37 they're not his children they're not Christians but in his common grace simply being image bearers 0.53
00:01:42 of the living God there are unbelievers unregenerate people that in their heart of hearts according to 0.79
00:01:47 Romans chapter 8 they are hostile towards God not just neutral but they are rebelling against them
00:01:51 they hate God and they go to war and make incredible sacrifices for their brothers in
00:02:00 arms I mean there is just story after story after story as we look through human history
00:02:05 of people who hated God on theological terms who were not followers of the Lord Jesus Christ
00:02:13 who were not born again and yet were willing to care for others at the cost of their own life
00:02:21 see so biblical love therefore is even more than that we cannot define biblical love
00:02:30 as a self-sacrificing love and stop then because there are many throughout human history
00:02:38 who have paid the ultimate sacrifice of their very own lives and still did not model biblical
00:02:47 love. Biblical love is a caring commitment at the cost of self, even being willing to lay down your
00:02:56 life. And it is committed toward a particular end, not just the person's physical and temporal
00:03:08 preservation for the next 30, 40, 50 years, but their eternal salvation and continued
00:03:15 sanctification being formed more and more into the image of the sun and anything short of that
00:03:22 is a failure at biblical love and we could even say one step further that biblical love is not
00:03:31 just self-sacrifice being willing to lay down your physical life in the temporal sense but the
00:03:40 apostle Paul says in Romans 9 that he would be willing to be eternally cut off for the sake of
00:03:46 his kinsmen his fellow Israelites according to the flesh and I will confess to you church I don't know
00:03:54 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 hell forever. And all of this, not just to preserve them for 30, 40, 50 years, but to
00:04:12 preserve their very eternal soul and to shape them into the image of Christ. Now that is love.
00:04:23 Set an example for the believers in love. What a tall task.
00:04:30 Thanks so much for listening.
00:04:32 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:04:35 take a moment and leave us a five-star review
00:04:37 if you enjoyed the show.
00:04:39 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us
00:04:42 get this biblically faithful content
00:04:44 to as many people as possible.
00:04:46 Thanks so much.
