Lesson 1 For April 4, 2009
God is love
(1 John 4:8)
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your
strength, and with all your mind, and your
neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27)
When God comes to live in us, we stop loving just ourselves and we
begin to also love Him and our neighbours (even our enemies) with
selfless love, expecting nothing in return.
“When self is
merged in Christ,
love springs forth
spontaneously. The
completeness of
Christian character
is attained when the
impulse to help and
bless others springs
constantly from
within—when the
sunshine of heaven
fills the heart and is
revealed in the
countenance.”
Ellen G. White, God’s Amazing Grace, May 17)
“We may love Christ more
and increase our capacity
for loving Him by
contemplating and talking
of His love. Cultivate the
habit of talking with the
Saviour when alone, when
walking and working. Let
gratitude and thanksgiving
ascend to God because
Jesus loves you and you
love Jesus.”
Ellen G. White, That I may Know Him, September 28
