John 15:9-17. "You Are Not Alone"
Manage episode 417483808 series 3297826
Some portrayals may display God as a lonely creator in need of company in the beginning of creation. That God isn’t the God Christianity describes. That Creator isn’t the Creator we meet in the Bible. The Bible tells us that, in that incomprehensible eternal past, God was not alone.
This sermon illustrates how God's nature of love is evident in the way he interacts with the world and humanity. Through Jesus Christ, God demonstrated this love by establishing relationships, serving others, and ultimately sacrificing his life: defining the highest form of love. This act not only exemplifies perfect love but also ensures that humans are not condemned to eternal separation from God, which is the ultimate punishment of sin. We as Christians are called to emulate this love in interactions, highlighting community formed through love, thereby never being alone.
This Sunday sermon, based on John 15 verses 9-17, was preached at Grace of God Lutheran Church on May 5, 2024. This sermon is preached by Pastor Timothy J. Walsh, a member of WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod). Scripture selections come from the New International Version.
