Welcome to this weekend's In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley.

Today's final message from our series on Living the Extraordinary Life

looks at the words of Jesus for a deeper understanding of what it means to live a life of love.

Of all the emotions you have ever experienced, which is the most important one of all?

Well, somebody would say fear because it protects

me, no. Well, joy and happiness because that's sort of what everybody's longing for.

All those may be well, but the most important emotion you have ever experienced in life

is the emotion of love. It is the supreme

emotion that God is placed within us. He created us to love him and to be loved by him. He created

us to love one another. It is the emotion above all of emotions. And think about this. It's the only

thing you're going to take to heaven with you. Because you see, if your good works have already gone

before, and you leave all your sins and your weaknesses and your frailters back behind, and you leave

faith and the promises of God, I mean, that's all going to be complete.

The only thing you and I are going to take to heaven with us is love.

And the question is, do you love God?

Do you feel God's love in your heart?

Can you say that you genuinely love anybody? Or would you have to say, you know, I've had some feelings, the true, genuine love, I'm not sure.

And the title of this message is a life of love.

We've talked about a life of prayer and a life of service and all those in the series that
