Wk 8: Symptoms of A Gospel Infected Heart
February 26, 2017 • Pastor Joby Martin • Colossians 3:12–17
A heart infected with the Gospel has 2 primary symptoms: Loving God and Loving people - “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” – Jesus (Matthew 22:37-40) Produce/fruit vs. manufacture…. If you want the “fruit” you gotta be “rooted” in Jesus. 4 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me".- Jesus (John 15:4)
