The best role model

HOW DO WE IMITATE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER?

Walk in love

GOD’S LOVE IS A RIGHTEOUS LOVE

GOD’S LOVE IS GRACIOUS

God loves the unlovable (Romans 5:8)

Loving those we don’t think are lovable (Matthew 5:46)

GOD’S LOVE IS PRACTICAL

The cross is God’s love in action

Our love for others must be more than words

GOD’S LOVE IS EXPRESSED THROUGH FORGIVENESS

God provides the forgiveness we need (Romans 3:10)

Forgiveness can be complicated (Hebrews 8:12; Psalm 103:12)

Those who have been forgiven must be willing to forgive others
