LOVE COMES FROM GOD

Date : Dec 28, 2022
Passage : 1John 4:7~21
Keyverse : 10

Love is mentioned 22 times in these 15 verses. People make tremendous efforts to love and to be loved. No matter how hard we try, we cannot get love or love others completely. Rather love comes from God. Those who love are born of God and know God. This is how God showed his love: God sent his Son Jesus so that we might live through him. This is how we know what love is: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and gave his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Realizing his great love, we should open our hearts to love others. Then, we can see God and he lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

We feel like dying when we struggle to love those we can't love. When we repent our pride and hold onto Jesus' grace and love, God is born in our hearts, and we experience the power of his love. Whoever loves lives in God, and God in them.

Moreover, those who love others have no fear. Perfect love drives out fear. Moreover, we no longer hate others. We love God, we believe in Jesus, and we can forgive and love others.


Application: Lord, please help me to accept your love through Jesus and love others with your love.
One Word: God loved us so that we can love others
