God's Love Made Visible
Manage episode 437551497 series 1030904
In this sermon, we studied 1 John 4:7-12, where John teaches about love. He reminds us that true love originates from God, who is the very essence of love. In this passage, John highlights two main reasons why we should love one another. First, our love for others serves as the true mark of knowing God. Second, loving one another is how God's love becomes visible in the world today. By loving others with the same sacrificial love that God demonstrated by sending His Son to die for our sins, we offer those who have never seen God a glimpse of His love through our actions. Loving others is not just an arbitrary command for us to obey, but an invitation to live as we were created to—in an abiding relationship with God and others, while providing a tangible way for others to experience God's presence in the world today.
