Tolerate or Dedicate (Revelation 2:18-29)

Loving Jesus

1.   Why does true love for Jesus involve both affection and obedience? Currently, what’s a difficult area of life to demonstrate true love for Jesus in (ways that go beyond feelings and involve concrete actions)?

Loving His People   

2.   What happens to our ability to love one another when we adopt our culture’s definition of love, which is largely synonymous with unconditional affirmation? Explain.

Loving His World

3.   Being salt and light in a world that opposes biblical values has always been challenging from two sides. Are you currently more tempted to 1) Judge the world and isolate from non-Christians or 2) Conform to the world and assimilate with non-Christians? How does Christ help you fight this temptation with this text?
