What is the difference between love and grace?

Answered by . August 4, 2012 - 8:28 am

In theory, someone could show another person grace without loving them. However, you cannot truly love someone without showing them grace. When it comes to God, he shows favour because he […]

What should you do when you love someone else’s spouse?

Answered by . December 11, 2010 - 6:21 am 1

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. [Heb. 13:4] Marriage is sacred, so we need to respect another couple’s marriage and not interfere with it. If we are married, we also need to respect our own marriage and treat it […]

What does “bear much fruit” mean (John 15:5,8)?

Answered by . December 10, 2009 - 8:03 pm 1

The Bible often uses trees and plants as analogies for humans (e.g. Ps. 1:1-3; Jer. 17:7-8). The fruit a tree or plant produces are like the attitudes and behaviour a person produces (e.g. Mat. 7:15-20; Luke 3:8). So, in John 15 Jesus is saying that his disciples should produce attitudes and behaviour in keeping with […]

Is it a sin to love a sinner?

Answered by . October 29, 2009 - 7:43 pm

Certainly not. We are all sinners, and God (who can’t sin) loves us. As Paul wrote God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) We are also called to show love to everyone, regardless of what they have done. Jesus said Love your enemies, […]
