Horizontal Jesus Bible Study Book includes a small-group experience for six sessions, individual study opportunities during the week, applicable Scripture, “How to Use This Study,” and tips for leading and hosting the group.
Loving God is vertical love. Loving others is horizontal love. Jesus showed His disciples how these two loves are intertwined in practical ways. While our relationship with God is based on faith alone, He warns and encourages us to see that the way we treat people affects our experience of Him.
