The way of Love
As children, most of us feel that the rules of life are a bit arbitrary: don’t do this, do that, don’t walk on this, don’t eat that before dinner. In contrast, as God outlines the Law to His people, Israel, He explains why they matter. They will help to build community, to respect each other, and enable people to “enjoy long life”. When it is put like that, it doesn’t seem so painful. And obeying laws given for these reasons is simply the way you show that you love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul and strength. It’s a great deal.
Question: Do you think of God’s Law as something frustrating and restricting, or something that leads to abundant joy?

About this Plan
“Love is love” has become a catchphrase of our times. But it does not have any meaning until we define what love is. The Christian starting point is to say that God is love. This series looks to understand the nature of God’s love. By the end of the series, I hope that the word ‘love’ has all the rich and flavoursome ingredients to it that Scripture has to offer.
