·
Growing Stronger
o By applying what we learn from God’s Word to our daily lives, we become stronger in our faith towards Him.
o As our faith increases, so also will the opportunities to share with others the benefits of trusting and obeying God.
o This is a sure sign to us and others that we are truly “connected” to God.
§ Matthew 25:29
§ 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
§ Ephesians 6:10-12
·
Loving God
o As we grow stronger in our faith, our love for God will grow and spread to others around us.
o We show our love by our obedience to His Word.
o People will recognize that we are His disciples by our love for each other and for those outside the family of God, too.

Reaching
People
o
Our love for God spills over to
those around us. His love for all people flows through us and we in turn
can’t wait to share that love with others.
o
Our focus continues to be
“outward” as we are growing stronger “inward”. Our concern
becomes stronger for those in need locally, regionally, nationally and
worldwide, in that order.
o
Compassion grows while
self-serving interests decrease.

1:8
