Let us Love…

In today’s episode of Words of Grace, we explore the command to love one  in 1 John 4:7-11. Reflecting on the transformative nature of divine love, Ben Winslett explains how true, Christlike love is a product of God’s grace imparted to us at salvation. Contrasting spiritual love with worldly affections, Ben emphasizes its sacrificial, forgiving, and selfless qualities, exemplified by Jesus Christ. With rich scriptural insights, he reminds listeners that God’s love, demonstrated through Christ’s sacrifice, obligates us to love others in the same heartfelt manner.

Walking After Christ

In today’s episode of Words of Grace, based on 1 John 2:6, we explore what it truly means to abide in Christ and walk as He walked.

“He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”

Drawing from passages in John, Galatians, Ephesians, and more, we discuss our connection to Christ in salvation, regeneration, and resurrection. We then consider the Parable of the True Vine in John 15, where we learn the practical lessons Jesus taught about abiding in Him, emphasizing the importance of close fellowship with Christ and the destruction that awaits when we wander from Him. Lastly, we take up John’s command to walk as Jesus walked, learning this by studying Jesus’ life—His prayer habits, devotion to Scripture, humility, graciousness, and willingness to suffer for God’s will. We are called to follow His example, especially in loving one another.
