8. 1 John 4:7–21
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9. It’s a relational thing
God is love
We must be born again
We experience His love
We pass it on
10. You Cannot Experience
If you don’t know God
His love does you no good
If you don’t love you aren’t His
11. Proof
By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God,
12. God Initiates
God loves you and wants you to respond
Our love for Him is a byproduct of His love for us
13. Restatement of John 3:16
God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him
14. Heavy Theology
but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
15. God is love
Father
Son
Holy Spirit
16. God loved you so much
Sent Jesus
Made Jesus a propitiation
Love sacrifices
17. Proof of our relationship
if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us,
18. You are an incubator for God’s love
God lives in us
Receive His love
Perfected in us
Passed on to others
19. It’s not the sinner’s prayer
because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
20. Salvation
Responding to God
Believe in Jesus Christ
Confess Him
Receive the Holy Spirit
21. Eureka!
We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
22. Remember Archimedes
Crown was to be pure gold
Right size and weight
Getting into the tub he noticed the water displaced.
Let’s read that scripture again
23. I have found it!
We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
24. What did we find?
Know
Believe
Abide in relationship
25. Love continues to change us
By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear,
26. Love continues to change us (continued)
because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us.
27. No Fear!
No fear tee
Perfect love casts out fear
Fear involves punishment
Fears is not perfected in love
28. God’s Love Conquers Fear
Judgement is coming….Hallelujah!!
You are being perfected
Let love run it course
29. Word
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
30. Who is your father?
He loves you
He loves others
You have His nature
31. Love Like Your Daddy
And this commandment we have from Him,
that the one who loves God should love
his brother also.
32. A Father’s Love
