Faith Expressed In Love

“For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus,
it makes no difference to God
whether we are circumcised or not circumcised.
What is important is
faith expressing itself in love.”
Galatians 5:6 NLT
(emphasis added)


The cross . . .
the ultimate expression
of faith and love!

Jesus
seeing the end result
expressed His faith
in love

mocked
spit on
beaten beyond recognition
a crown of thorns
spikes driven through His wrists
and His feet
He died
to pay the price
the sacrifice without blemish
for me
for you
all without a word

Jesus expressed His faith
in love
How can I not?

“This is my command: I loved you.
This is the very best way to love.
Put your life on the line for your friends.
You are my friends
when you do the things I command you.”
John 15:13 Message Bible


“This is how we've come to understand
and experience love:
Christ sacrificed his life for us.
This is why we ought to live sacrificially
for our fellow believers,
and not just be out for ourselves.”
1 John 3:16 Message Bible
