Real biblical love is making a choice to sacrifice or give of ourselves to meet the needs of someone else.

Believers develop in Christlikeness by walking in the Spirit as he counters the works of the flesh and cultivates the fruit of godliness.

As a Christian, your confidence in God's love will grow and motivate you to love others.

We must discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness because spiritual growth requires an earnest and intense commitment to developing personal Christlikeness.
