WHAT WE NEED IS TRUE LOVE

27^TH  , JULY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 37-38

TEXT:  Song of Solomon 8:4-7

4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.

5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you under the apple tree.
There your mother brought you forth; There she who bore you brought you forth.

6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it.
If a man would give for love All the wealth of his house, It would be utterly despised.

KEY VERSE:

“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.” -  Song of Solomon 8:7

 

 

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Love is the most powerful force in the world.

 

THE MESSAGE:                                                                                       

Love is expected to be one of the strongest factors in a marriage relationship. In fact, couples profess and believe in their love for one another before they tie the nuptial cord at the wedding altar. But the sad stories we hear in many homes soon after marriage and the alarming rates of divorce and separations even among Christians, make us wonder what happened to true love.

Our passage today defines the power of true love. It is strong, unquenchable, indestructible, boundless, and priceless. It is not cold and lifeless. It burns in practical expression. Like a burning flame, it consumes anything that stands in its way. Love is unstoppable. It cannot be hidden or curtailed by anything nor can it be bought at any price.

 

Unfortunately, many people love for the wrong reason. Most are merely emotional outbursts and feelings which are mostly unstable. Some may be due to the physical outlook of the person or for wealth and other material gains. But all these do not last as true love transcends far above them. If our marriages are going to last long and be truly enjoyed and not merely endured, what we need is true love.

That is the kind of love that Jesus calls us to have for one another. The depraved heart is not capable of loving this much. There is a need for regeneration and sanctification of the heart for the love of God to be truly shed abroad in the heart before we can have and display this highest degree of love.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
