Bible Study for Sunday, January 26, 2025 – The Call to Genuine Love

Summary: In today’s Bible study, we explore the call to love others with sincerity and to honor one another. Based on Romans 12:9-10, we are reminded that love is not a superficial emotion but an active choice to serve, uplift, and care for others. Genuine love is a reflection of Christ's love for us, and it challenges us to go beyond simple kindness to deeper, sacrificial love.

Bible Verses:
  • Romans 12:9-10 NLT – "Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other."
  • 1 John 4:19-21 NLT – "We love each other because he loved us first. If someone says, 'I love God,' but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?"
Questions for Reflection:
  • How can you show genuine love to others in your community this week?
  • Is there someone you struggle to love? How can you take practical steps to honor them as the Scripture commands?
  • What does it mean to “hate what is wrong” in the context of loving others?
Prayer Focus: Pray for a heart that genuinely loves others with sincerity. Ask God to help you move beyond surface-level relationships and to reflect His love more deeply in all your interactions.

Call to Action: Look for one opportunity this week to demonstrate genuine love toward someone in your life. Whether it is through a kind word, an act of service, or offering encouragement, make your love tangible.
