Introduction
A Romans 12 Christian seeks to love genuinely without conditions attached or hidden agendas, as the core principle of Christian living. It is a love that does not seek personal gain, but to offer honor, recognition, appreciation, value and understanding; that is being done out of esteem, awe, admiration and wonder towards the receiver. It should not just be mere words, but done through actions that are unpretentious. Being real.
Into the Word
1. What is society’s typical view of love and how is love usually seen to be expressed? Who do you usually express love to and how do you show this love?
2. Think of some examples of how enemies are depicted by society. Name a few examples (real or fictional). How are enemies usually dealt with?
3. Do you have enemies or are there people who bring out the worst in you? How do you usually respond to them? What would be your motivation to love them?
4. Paul calls for love to be sincere. Give examples on how one can show sincere love.
5. If there is someone you dislike or someone who brings out the worst in you, are you willing to heed Paul’s call and put sincere love into action?
If so, what can you do?
