Fresh Start Christian Church
Topic: Peace and Favor
Main Scripture: 1 John 4:4-11,19
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. We love Him because He first loved us.

Walking in Love, Pt.2 – Matthew 22:35-40
- “ I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16 NKJV)
- To walk in the holy Spirit, we have to be filled with the Holy Spirit. (cf. Ephesians 5:15)
- To be filled with the Holy Spirit, we have to be clean (cf. 1 John 1:9) and be yielded.
- Fruits of the Spirit (ONE Fruit manifested in NINE Christian graces – love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control)
- Walking in Love
- Eros – erotic or sexual love
- Phileo – natural or tender affection, such as toward a friend or family member
- Agape – the special unconditional love of God; often called God-like love or biblical love; meaning to love the understanding, despite disappointment and rejection.
- Biblical love has God as its object, true motivator, and source (cf. 1 John 4:7-8)
- Love God, love our neighbor, love yourself
- Upward, outward, inward
- God’s agape love is in us through the Holy Spirit
