Marked by Love

What does a life in the way look like? Practically how can students make that daily decision to follow Christ? Life along the narrow way is about so much more than the things Christians aren’t suppose to do. This life is a life filled with love, and wisdom.

Living in love, means imitating the example of Jesus. Ephesians 5: 1-18 is the passage that students dived into for family group this morning. This passage encourages believers to live in a way that the world sees the love of Christ displayed. Jesus made a way so that we can have direct communion with Him. This means that the love is not up to Christians, because if that were true, no one’s love would be good enough. It is Christ’s love flowing through us.

Students are challenged to live like a child of the Living God. This is shown by making good decisions, in how you live and interact with others, being self-controlled, and being obedient to the Holy Spirit. Practically this is done by examining your actions and motives, encouraging each other, and being thankful.

The students were then asked is this the way that you are living your life now? This life is impossible to live by relying on ourselves. The Holy Spirit living in us empowers us.
