You choose to love. I choose to love. I choose to make peace. I choose to forgive. You learn to do that by training your mind to do that under the power Bible teaching ministry of John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

Think back to your grammar lessons in school, and let's talk for a minute about adjectives.

You'll remember that adjectives are descriptive words,

and perhaps one of the most important adjectives

that applies to the Christian life is the word ongoing, ongoing faith, ongoing humility,

That's the title of his current study.

And a quick reminder before we begin, this series is not just for couples.

It provides guidelines for every relationship you have.

Romans chapter 13, verses 8 through 10. Let me read these verses, beginning in verse 8. Oh, no man anything,

but to love one another. For he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal,

thou shalt not covet.

And if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely

thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

fulfilling of the law. Now, what is love? How do you demonstrate love? Is it an emotion?

Is it a spiritual goose bump? Is it a warm and fuzzy feeling?

What is love?
