Aim: To grow in our understanding of and practice of Christian love.
Doctrine: Christian love is demonstrated through real care for people, which is initially manifested in church, but which then spreads throughout the whole world.
Exegesis: How believers show Christian love: by ministering to souls and bodies (vv. 19-20); by connecting saints to needs (v. 21); by uniting the church to Jesus (in prayer) (v. 22).
Further application: The powerful effects of Christian love: it attracts souls to the Savior, and it silences the foes of the gospel.
Key verse: v. 22 ''The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.''
