DON'T WATCH THESE IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE!!!!!
No fear....
300 1st fight
"Immortals"
Barbarians and "a beautiful death"
Training and Commitment to war made the Spartans worthy of this depiction.
What would commitment of this magnitude to the LORD result in? How would I look if I received more of God's love... If I went to another level of receiving His love?
I John 4:7-11
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
I must receive His love before I can even THINK about loving myself. I must love myself as Jesus does, because I am commanded to think of myself with sober judgement... I must think of myself in accordance with how God thinks of me. (Romans 12:1-3) I must love myself before I can even THINK about loving others, "as I love myself." (Luke 10:27 & John 13:34). THEN my faith can express itself through love (Galatians 5:6) and my love will look like I Corinthians 13:4-8a:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
