  2. Truth has been made available to us by way of the Holy Spirit‬‬ John‬ ‭16:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬, 1 John 4:8 NKJV

  3. God is Love Truth in Love is allowing God’s spirit (which is Truth) to teach us to Love (which is God)

    • God’s Spirit will teach us to God
    • Letting Love lead your life, will always end up in God results

    • Honor God’s ways
    • Honor God’s body Romans 12:9-10 (NKJV)
  2. Let Love be genuine in you

    • The truth is: We can only participate in Love, not generate it,
    • Let God be genuine in me, honor those who He says to honor, by His might!
  3. Honor the image of God

    • Honor brings an atmosphere of the supernatural
    • Honor is for the person, not their activity 1 Peter 2:17-19 (NASB)

  3. Family we owe the world an encounter with God, not us

    • The next generation should be an upgrade to the body of Christ

Honor and Value the Word of God
