The resurrection of Jesus Christ signified a new beginning for the world.  There was nothing which ever comes close in matters of importance.  Christ brought in the New Covenant of Love, which includes truth, grace, mercy and a totally new method of dealing with sin.  This love comes in with an Enabler, the Holy Spirit, who, along with being the Spirit of Truth and the only means that we are able to love. God's vision of this is unconceivable to the unsaved, but for those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior they share in the "New Community of Love" which is available to every Christian.  If you are a Christian and find it difficult to love or to be loved by other Christians, you might have a blind spot that you do not see. Or you might have a certain degree of bondage to partial truth, which is not enabling you to function effective for Christ or yourself.  This we can help you with in our series, "Love Lasts Forever."
        The importance of God's love should not be underestimated.  The toll of the unloved in the world is staggering, and even in the Christian community, there are more that goes to bed without love, than without food.  All is not necessary, as that is why Christ came, to bring you life and to bring it more abundantly.  Below are the importance of love and the priorities of love, which are covered in more depth in our first course, "Love, Truth and Transformation," which is part of the "Love Lasts Forever" series:
