I recently used the S.O.A.P. Method to discover how the Bible defines “love.” Here’s an example from a verse I studied:
*SCRIPTURE:*
“In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:9-10 ESV
*OBSERVATIONS:*
1. *“In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us.”* Love is defined by God's love for *us* and *not* by our love for Him. Why? Because love, as defined by God's example, is a choice to love others even when loving is difficult. Love is not a response based in feeling. God chose us while we were still enemies of Him. True love is a deliberate decision. Love is a resolve-a choice, not an emotion.
2. *“…he loved us and sent.”* God loved us and *sent*. Notice the use of a verb-an action word. Love moves! Love pursues. Love goes. Love confronts. Love forgives. Love reconciles-all despite offense. True love, as defined by God’s example, is always accompanied by action. Action is what makes love, love.
3. *“…and sent His Son.”* God sent His Son into the world! How great is His love for us? God sent His most prized possession to die for a rebellious people. His Son, in whom He found all His delight-the radiance of the glory of God, the exact imprint of His nature-this is who He sends! Not an elder, not an angel, not a saint or a righteous man like Moses, Aaron, David, or Jacob. God sent His one and only Son. A true giving of Himself! True love, as defined by God’s example, is costly. True love requires a dying to oneself.
From my observations, true love, as defined by God’s example:
- Is a choice to love others even when it’s difficult.
- Is always accompanied by action.
- Is costly and requires a denial of self.
I hope this was helpful! I also have a video on my channel where I apply the S.O.A.P. Method to John 3:16. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/d1SiVQaWEj4/v-deo.htmlsi=bMJ_rHYJSHe0NGyD
Thanks for tuning in ya’ll :) ❤❤❤
I love how you actually explained how to practice soap. If I might make a suggestion?
Please don't just read and study that 1 verse. At least read the whole chapter. Where you find it. Can be super easy to walk away with the wrong impression
I agree! Gotta read things in context!

How to pick up observations not clear
I’m not sure I understand your comment 😭 what isn’t clear?
I think she meant "ways to pick up observations from the scripture, is not clearly explained in your video"
E.g. u mentioned having a Bible study with a friend and u wanted to get 10 from the scripture John 3:16. U ended up with 20 instead. If u could explain how u came up with the 20, and one or 2 examples that u came up with, it will be appreciated.
Or rather
How do you do/come up with observations (many of them) from a short scripture?
@@naomigracebell???
That makes sense! Thank you so much for clarifying!

Thanks for tuning in and for your comment :)
@naomigracebell thanks for your response. I also wanted to know and have done well explaining into details 😊
Stay blessed 🙌
I think I'll definitely need your help in being kind of a mentor to me. I would really love to get to know Jesus and have a strong and everlasting relationship with Him, starting to reading and understanding the Word. I'll talk to you on Instagram when I'm back to it. I'm new here by the way. Had to subscribe even before watching anything because you are spreading what I need to hear, learn, understand and apply.
Wowwww praise Jesus. Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here :) I loooove to hear that you’re starting to read and understand the Word more-my channel exists to aid you in that journey as I seek to do the same!
Thanks for the sub :) More videos like this one on the way, stay tuned ❤️
