Why Love Is the Foundation of the Christian Faith | Biblical Truth Every Believer Must Know Part 2

Episode 390

In Part 2 of this foundational teaching, Stephen Lewis moves from understanding what biblical love is to confronting how it must be lived out. Love is not just a belief we hold—it is the evidence of a transformed life. If God truly is love, then that love should be visible in how we speak, forgive, serve, endure, and respond—especially when it's difficult.

This episode challenges believers to examine whether their faith is producing Christlike love in real, everyday situations. Stephen unpacks how genuine love is revealed through obedience, humility, sacrifice, and truth, reminding listeners that love is not passive, emotional, or conditional—it is active, costly, and rooted in obedience to Jesus.

Using Scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 13, John 13:34–35, 1 John 3:16–18, and James 2:17, this message emphasizes that love is the true marker of discipleship. Not gifts. Not titles. Not words—but fruit.

This is a call to mature faith, spiritual integrity, and visible Christianity in a watching world.

A Powerful Interview with #1 Best Seller Frank Viola About His New Book The Untold Story of the New Testament Church Revised And Expanded

This Book Will Change How You Read the New Testament Forever

In this powerful and eye-opening interview, Stephen Lewis sits down with bestselling author and teacher Frank Viola to discuss his groundbreaking book, The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded.

Frank reveals why so many believers struggle to understand the New Testament—not because God's Word is unclear, but because it's often read without its original historical, cultural, and chronological context. He explains that reading the Bible without the full story is like hearing only one side of a phone conversation, and that his book restores the background that brings Scripture to life.

This conversation explores what the first-century church truly looked like, how the book of Acts and the Epistles fit together, why traditions have drifted from biblical roots, and how Christ—not systems, structures, or institutions—was always meant to be the center of the Christian life.
