WALK IN LOVE (1 John 4:7-19)
I. God
is Love: This is How You Know
1
John 4:7 Dear
friends, let us love one another, for
love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God
is love. 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He
has given us of his Spirit. 16 God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God,
and God in them.
II.
God is Love: This is How God Showed
9 This is how God showed his love among us:
He sent his one and only Son into
the world that we might live through him.10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he
loved us and sent his Son as an
atoning sacrifice for our sins. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives
out fear, because fear has to do
with punishment.
III.
God is Love: This is How We Show
11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives
in us and his love is made complete in us. 19 We love because he first loved us.
