Three Life-Changing Truths

By Paul J. Bucknell

Three Life Principles for Fulfillment

Running a race is hard work. The preparation, the cost, and the hard drive all tax` our bodies. Why are we going to run this race for sexual purity? Because it matters. We are going to work on self-control all of our lives because it greatly matters. Anything short of this takes cheap fun and transforms it into an ugly and desperate defeat

The three life–changing truths that God made available to us are:

1) Unconditional love2) Inner fulfillment3) Forever secure

Unconditional love

God has designed us to replicate His love by focusing on meeting the needs of others. When we refuse to serve ourselves and choose to meet other people's needs, a great and noble good occurs inducing wonderful ramifications. This truth is intensified in the marriage context and modeled through a husband's constant love for his wife.

Inner fulfillment

God has designed us that when we respond to His great love initiative, we flourish in His strong and secure environment. His love unleashes a great joy and spontaneity of new life to cause greater blessings to flow out from our lives. This truth is intensified in the marriage context and modeled through a wife's respectful response to her husband.
