Love, Angela with a Heart for the Nations

We know God has called His followers to love Him and to love others. But if you truly believe in our one and only God and His one and only Son and Spirit, it’s pretty daunting to think about what it would mean to love Him back. 

He tells us in 1 John 5:3, “For this is what love for God is: to keep his commands.” We learn to keep His commands by reading them, by studying His Word in community, by praying for the wisdom and the strength to obey Him. And when we obey Him by loving others, His love is made us complete in us as He tells us in 1 John 4:12. If you don’t know much about what God says about love, then you are going to love today’s episode as we dissect what it really means so we can live out true love in our lives. 

My prayer is this episode gives you specific ways to take action on all the stirrings in our hearts lately to care for people living in oppression, isolation, and even poverty here in our country and all over the world. Angela Perritt, the Founder and Director of an international women’s ministry called Love God Greatly is here today and we hope her story cracks your heart open to care for women across the globe by setting them free with God’s gift of free grace found in His Word. 

If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook @amandafromtx, then you read a little bit about the beloved time I spent as a writer for Love God Greatly where I met so many beautiful translators, all selfless and full of joy. I also met and learned from the stunning, Edurne Mencia. We mention her in this episode but she left more than a mention of an impression on our hearts as she tragically passed away one year ago. We cannot thank her enough for her pure example of loving the Lord. This one’s for you Edurne.  

 

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

1 John 4:12

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Matthew 28: 19-20

 

“For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Deuteronomy 7:6

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

Titus 2:3-5

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.
