Pastor Jerry Jackson
02.15.15

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NLV)
Do you not know that your body is a house of God where the Holy Spirit lives? God gave you His Holy Spirit. Now you belong to God. You do not belong to yourselves. God bought you with a great price. So honor God with your body. You belong to Him.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

HOW TO LIVE IN GOD’S LOVE
1. EVERY DAY SURRENDER MY HEART TO GOD
Job 11:13-18 (CEV)
“Surrender your heart to God, turn to him in prayer, and give up your sins— even those you do in secret. Then you won't be ashamed; you will be confident and fearless. your troubles will go away like water beneath a bridge, and your darkest night will be brighter than noon. Then you’ll rest safe and secure, filled with hope and emptied of worry!”
2. EVERY DAY I REMEMBER THE WAY GOD LOVES ME
• I’M COMPLETELY ACCEPTED
Titus 3:7 (CEV)
“Jesus made us acceptable to God.”
• I’M UNCONDITIONALLY LOVED
Isaiah 54:10
“My love for you will never end says the Lord.”
• I’M TOTALLY FORGIVEN
Romans 8:1
“There is NO condemnation for those in Christ Jesus!”
• I’M CONSIDERED EXTREMELY VALUABLE
1 Corinthians 7:23
“You’ve been bought and paid for by Christ’s death.”
3. EVERY DAY I OFFER THE SAME LOVE TO OTHERS
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
John 13:34
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you…”
