Notes:
WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life.
- 2 Peter 1:3-4 (NLT)
We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
- 2 Peter 1:3-4 (NLT)
And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
- 2 Peter 1:3-4 (NLT)

- Matthew 22:34-40 (NIV)
“And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

I can’t love who I don’t know
Loving people requires action
