Colossians 3:14 Season 2, Episode 38
Joy’s Notes:
Wed Col 3:14
“Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.”
——————
Love is both the problem (worlds) and the solution (Gods)
God IS love!
(1John 4:8)
It’s His IDENTITY.
(I am female w/ blue eyes)
Love deprivation is a LIE from pit of hell.
⁃ there’s no level of darkness we won’t go in order to fill the “love-deprivation hole.”
⁃ Holy Spirit deposits Gods love in heart(rom 5:5)
“I love Because He loved me first!” (1 John 4)
• We were made to crave Gods love!!
👇
• Not crave the created but the Creator!

“The only one who can truly satisfy the human heart is the One who made it!”

GODS LOVE VS.
WORLDS LOVE:
1 cor 13:6=
“Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.”
Gods love is NOTHING like the worlds love.
“Love is love.” (World)
“Loved by Love”(God)
Gods love exposes sin not denies it!
Luke 11:36 NLT
If you are filled with light (God IS LIGHT/LOVE), with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light.”
EPH 3:18-19
may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. THEN=
you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”
John 13:34-35
“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
—————————
Binding &
HARMONY:
Psalm 133:1-2
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in UNION! For UNITY/HARMONY is like precious oil poured on the HEAD.”
All off Israel knew this verse that David wrote!
• Oil was symbol of Gods protection, provision, presence & power
• Jesus’ final prayer before going to Garden of Gethsamene —(john 17) “I pray that they will be ONE, just as you and I are ONE as you are in Me father and I am in you…. I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be ONE as we are ONE. May they experience such a perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.”
GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE:
• GETHSEMANE was an “olive press.”
“For UNITY/HARMONY is like precious oil poured on the HEAD.” (Psalm 133:2)
Crushing of olives!!!
“Olive oil serves as a binding agent that blends the different flavors of the marinade together and adheres them to the meat or vegetables being cooked.”
The OIL binds us together as ONE
As Jesus laid down His life to show the greatest act of LOVE!
John 15:13
“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
(Known as “The gospel in a nutshell”)
