Love Outside the Camp: A Scriptural Exploration
In this episode, Maggie and Pastor Perry dive into what it means to “go outside the camp” and love as Christ loved. They explore the tension of living in the “already, not yet” of faith, the significance of Christ’s sacrifice, and how these truths shape our call to love and serve others. Through scripture and practical examples, they encourage listeners to see all people as made in God’s image and to seek out ways to reflect Christ’s love—especially toward those often overlooked or marginalized. This conversation is an invitation to deeper compassion and a faith that moves beyond words into action.
Key Takeaways:
- We are all created in God’s image and welcomed into His family through Christ.
- Our peace and security come from Christ, not worldly constructs.
- We are called to love others, not control their salvation.
- Living in the “already not yet” is part of our faith journey.
- Loving others can be as simple as a kind word, a prayer, or a selfless gesture.
