Love Made Complete (Lent 16, 2024)

Scripture speaks about love being “made complete” both in us and among us.  They are connected by the Love of God. 

The cause and effect are outlined clearly:

Since God so loved us effect: we should love one another.
If we love one another effect: God lives in us and His love is made complete … in us.
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of Godeffect: God lives in them and they in God.
When believers live in God and God in themeffect: God’s love is made complete among us.

Exercise:
Imagine yourself as an elbow-shaped pipe, taking the love of God coming down from heaven and redirecting it to the world, believers and non-Christians alike.  When tempted to be angry or frustrated with your fellow man, remind yourself that the world will know you are Christian by how you treat them every bit as much as by what you say. May God make your love complete.
