APPLICATION
Love is not just a feeling, but an action based on a decision. We cannot produce love ourselves; we must allow God's love to work through us, manifesting itself outwardly in our lives. God has told us and shown us everything we need to know about true love in His Word. We see this love perfectly displayed by the actions of Jesus.
Do not be confused; God is love, but love is not God. The enemy would have us make our own definition of love based on our feelings or our flesh. This leads to a self love or worship which can be hidden by the works that we do. God is looking at the motives of the heart, not just the deed itself.
Use the moves in this level to keep you on the right path. Avoid evil, strife, and the path of the wicked. Flee from motives and actions that will distance you from God. Enter the ark for safety in times of need. Be self-controlled; be on guard; build your life upon the Rock of your salvation. Seek the truth; pursue righteousness; and let your faith grow as you take God at His Word.
