More DescriptionThe world talks a lot about love. It's everywhere in our culture, from the love of a married couple, to the love of a child, to the love of one's job, to the love of a favorite beverage. But Jesus teaches us that love is far from an emotional attachment to someone or something: it is an action born from the character of Christ within us.Jesus taught us that to love God is to obey Him and trust Him. Right behind that, and of no lesser importance, is to love the family of God. This isn't a new command, but an old command right from God's law to His people: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself.Jesus stresses the importance of loving God and others so much so that even a hint of discord found within the heart is taken seriously. However challenging it may seem to love others, we have the grace of God through the power of the Holy Spirit to love both God and others.In Learning to Love we find that Jesus is more than able to teach us this because He first loved us, and He is more than able to help us love those whom He loves.
