Everyone Bears God’s Image 

“So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God, he created them; male and female he created them.” -Genesis 1:27 NLT

All people are His and created in His image.

Foundational — People reflect God.

Relational — People relate to God.

Functional — People represent God.

Love Sees People Not Labels

“There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
-Galatians 3:28 NLT

Love Sees People Not Their Worst Moment 

“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” 48 Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”-Luke 7:47-48 NLT

Love Sees People Not Interruptions

“When Jesus saw the vast crowds of people, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” -Matthew 9:36 NLT

“Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins… But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead.” -Ephesians 2:1, 4–5 NLT

Do I truly believe that Jesus has forgiven me?

What hinders me from seeing through God’s eyes?

Am I still holding one to bitterness?
