The Word of Grace
Love is not a noun. It is a verb. This week, Pastor Femi Paul shifted the conversation from what we believe about love to what we actually do with it. Drawing from 1 John 3:18–19, we were reminded that love is more than words, emotions, or good intentions; it must be demonstrated through sincere and practical action. Building on the truth that love is the essence of God, Pastor Femi explained that kindness is the essence of love, making kindness the clearest expression of love in action. Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus shifted the conversation from "Who is my neighbour?" to "Go and do the same," teaching us that genuine love is revealed in compassion, kindness, and a willingness to meet the needs of others. The message challenged us to move beyond lip service and become people whose actions consistently reflect the love of Christ. Looking at the early church in Acts 2, we saw a community whose generosity, hospitality, and genuine care for one another caused them to be respected, admired, and attractive to those around them. Pastor reminded us that our actions either validate or contradict our profession of faith. The call was clear and deeply personal: now is the time to put God's love into action, as PFP concluded, "I know you can; I trust you will." Confession: Lord, thank You for loving me so completely and unconditionally. Let Your love move beyond my words and become evident in my actions every day. Fill my heart with kindness, compassion, and sincerity, so that my life points others to You and reflects the love of Christ wherever I go. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
