Did you know there are two laws of God? Both laws have a priesthood and a high priest. Both laws tell us how to live, how to treat each other, and how to relate to God. But...one law leads to judgment, curse, and death. The other law leads to forgiveness, grace, peace, and eternal life. The Lord has revealed in the Scriptures the law of the priesthood of Melchizedek, of which Jesus is high priest. It is the law by which the Lord is calling all believers to live. It is the oldest and the highest law of God and is in fact the law of heaven.

This portion of When Heaven Invades Earth, written by Bill Johnson, contains vital insights into the differences between love and fear — and how each can control your life, for better or worse.

Plain and simple, the nature of love is to give. Once we understand that God is love and that love gives, we can successfully move to the next phase in receiving from God. Love is the first key, the key that all else hangs on, in order to receive all that Christ has made available.

To the world around us, this kind of unconditional love makes little sense. The world is really good at loving some people, sometimes. Most of us are.

In this five-session audio Bible study, Bob points the way to embodying love by doing the unexpected, the intimidating, the seemingly impossible—to love everybody the way Jesus loved them—without fear, insecurity, or reservations.

Mike reviews the meaning and purpose of these Christian virtues, as well as the relationship each has with the other.

The Bible calls us to embrace a love that knows no boundaries, transcending selfishness and conditionality. It urges us to extend our love to all, even adversaries and strangers, fostering unity, compassion, and profound reconciliation that mirrors God's boundless love for the world. Integrating these profound truths requires an immersive journey through the Scriptures, involving diligent study, fervent prayer, and introspective reflection, while living in harmony with God's divine character.

Drawing closer to God requires a genuine hunger and thirst for His presence. It is not a passive endeavor but a deliberate choice to seek Him with all one's heart, mind, and soul. This pursuit involves dedicating time for prayer, immersing oneself in the study of Scripture, and living in obedience to God's teachings.

The topic of spiritual growth and development has been broadly spoken to in many essays, articles, and books. However, I would like to speak more directly to the four phases of my life and journey with the Sovereign. The first phase was all about me. The second phase was all about me and Him. The third phase was about Him and me, and the fourth phase has and is all about Him.

Here, I examine Jesus' first response to some of the people that He encountered who were in some form of sin, namely the woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery. I also share how Jesus repeats those same principles of “first response” in His telling of the parable of the prodigal son. I compare Jesus' response to the types of responses that I received as a “prodigal” trying to return home to a right relationship with the Father. Further, I examine how I have also failed to extend the proper first response to others who were in a condition of woundedness and sin.
