The Secret of Harmony Part 3: Aggressive Benevolence

Part 3 of the “Secret of Harmony” Series

Harmony in relationships ultimately finds its fullest expression through love—but not a passive or conditional love. In Part 3 of this series, Paul and Rebecca Turner introduce the powerful concept of “aggressive benevolence”—a love modeled perfectly by Christ and made possible through a life fully surrendered to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus demonstrated aggressive benevolence toward us through a sacrificial love, a sanctified love, a selfless love, a satisfying love, and a spiritually enriching love. This was not reactive love; it was intentional, initiating, and redemptive. As the Holy Spirit transforms our surrendered lives, we are called to display that same Christlike love toward others in our homes, workplaces, and everyday relationships.

When believers choose to love as Christ loved—regardless of circumstances—harmony becomes more than an ideal; it becomes a lived reality. This final episode ties together surrender, spiritual fruit, and active love as the complete picture of relational harmony.
