1.1 Love is the hand that gives and faith is the hand that takes, and the speaker emphasizes that we should not settle for believing and receiving so little from God, as Jesus came to save the world and not condemn it, and the Apostle Paul states that there is only one reason why there are many sick people in the body of Christ today.
1.2 Discerning the Lord’s body leads to strength, health, and a long life.
