The goal is Love

*Study scripture*
_*1 Timothy 1:5(AMP)*; But the goal of our instruction is love [which springs] from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith._

*The goal is Love*

Love is the foundation of all sound doctrine.

Our theme scripture reveals that love is the goal of all instruction.

This means that every time we preach the gospel or minister Christ, the end of it ought to be the love for God and the love for men.

Even if it is rebuke, it should never be weighed and found wanting in love.

This goes to more than merely teaching.

Healing the sick and the demonstration of the spirit must be in line with the standard of love.

Christ set the pattern. He healed because He was moved by compassion. He taught because His heart bled for people that seemed scattered as sheep without a Shepard.

It is love that draws men to God. It is love that ministers to the sick. It is love that brings true deliverance.

*Furthur study* Galatians 5:6, James 2:8

*Nugget*
Love is the foundation of all sound doctrine.

*Prayer*
Father, I am grateful for this truth. For you loved the world that you gave your only begotten son. Love upholds our world. I choose to live the love walk in love, In Jesus’ name. Amen.
