My 1 Year Revival 🔥 Lesson 7

Lesson 7 — Be Loving (Neighbors & Enemies)

Texts: Luke 10:25–37; Romans 13:8–10; Matthew 5:43–48

Principle: Love moves toward need.

Precept: Serve others tangibly; make compassion your reflex.

Cohesive Overview:

The Good Samaritan embodies love that crosses lanes—ethnic, religious, and social—to meet a bleeding need. Priest and Levite pass by; love draws near. The Samaritan sees, feels, acts, and pays. Jesus concludes: “Go, and do thou likewise.” Revival people make room in budgets, calendars, and hearts for mercy. Love fulfills the law because it seeks the other’s good (Rom. 13:10).

Jesus also commands love for enemies—pray for them, bless them, do good. This is not naive permissiveness; it is cross-shaped courage that refuses hatred’s cycle. The church’s witness brightens when we live generous, interruptible, neighborly lives.

Keys of Submission:

See • Stop • Serve • Spend • Stay (follow-up).

Practice This Week:

Carry a “neighbor kit” (bottled water, gift card, tract) in your car.

Block two hours for an unexpected need; ask God to appoint it.

Pray by name for one adversary; do a hidden good for them.

Declaration: “I will love my neighbor and bless my enemy; compassion is my reflex.”
