A Better Life

Love Your Neighbor

Text: Ephesians 4:25-32

If we want our lives to "hang right" - to accomplish for us what our hearts ache for - then we must hang our lives on two  points. (Matthew 22:35-40) 

• Love .
• Love our . 

The presence of God's Spirit is the  that we have voluntarily given ownership of our lives back to God. 

God's Spirit empowers us to radically and  love others. 

The Spirit wants to empower us... 

• .... to exchange  for . (v. 25) 
• .... to live in  even when we're angry. (v. 26)
• .... to be  even when we're angry. (v.26; Proverbs 19:11)
• .... not just responsibility but  to help others through what we make at work. (v.28)
• .... words that only  and don't tear down. (v.29)
• .... to constantly exchange  for forgiveness. (v.31-32) 
• .... to always exchange  for kindness. (v.31-32)
• .... to trade  for compassion. (v.31-32)

God so loves us, so loves other people, that He is  when we don't take advantage of the power He gives to practically love each other.
