How does love define our identity as followers of Jesus?  

Scripture: John 13:34-35  

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”  

Reflect on how Jesus commands us to love radically and selflessly. Consider that this love is not optional but is the defining mark of being His disciple. How does your love for others show the world God’s presence through your life?

In what practical ways can your love be demonstrated beyond words?  

Scripture: 1 John 3:18  

“Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”  

Think about how love moves beyond feelings to actions—feeding the hungry, visiting the lonely, standing up for justice. How can your daily actions visibly reflect God’s love to those around you? What practical steps can you take to make your love tangible and transformative?

How does sacrificial love challenge cultural norms and bring healing?  

Scripture: Romans 12:9-13  

“Let love be genuine... Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor... Be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer... contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.”  

In a world shaped by self-interest, Jesus calls us to a higher standard of relentless, sacrificial love—loving even when it’s hard, forgiving freely, serving without expecting return. How can you embody this love to challenge the status quo and bring healing to your relationships and community?
