Love Fulfilled ministry is dedicated to helping you grow, bringing you into fullness of God through Jesus Christ. Abiding in agape love plays an important role in our faith to the extent of growth or fullness (maturity, completeness, wholeness; perfection).
We know that love is fulfilled or brings us to maturity as it produces fruit:
- Obedience to His word – Jesus said, "If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in His love." (John 15:10)
- Love for others – When we genuinely love and serve others, God’s love has been brought to maturity in us. (1 John 4:11-12). Good works that glorify God are produced, as fruit, from believers that are mature, who have grown up to the fullness of God in Christ who is the head.
- Maturity– "There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, as fear has to do with punishment. Now, the one who fears has not been perfected in love" (1 John 4:18). Perfection or maturity comes through faith and love, not fear and punishment.
- Transformation – God's love works with faith and hope, filling our hearts, transforming our minds. (Romans 5:5)
- Endurance – As we grow spiritually, having been born a new, rooted and founded in faith and love, we have strength to grasp the immeasurable depth of Christ's love. (Ephesians 3:17-19). Once rooted in love, it grows deeper and nothing can separate us from the immeasurable depth of God's love (Romans 8:38-39)
