17
This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19
We love because he first loved us.
20
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
21
And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

John's Tutorial on Love, Part 3b
Damian Kyle
Pastor Damian Kyle is in the middle of a study in First John called, “Authentic Fellowship with God.” And as we wrap up chapter four today we’ll test the motives behind the service we do for the Lord. Is it out of love for God and others? Or is it more self-centered or self-serving? There’s a lot at stake when it comes to rewards, as one day Christians will stand before Christ at the Bema Seat judgement of Christ.
John's Tutorial on Love, Part 3a
Damian Kyle
One day each and every Christian will stand before Christ to be rewarded based on their faithful service. And our motives matter. Let’s talk about it today on According to the Scriptures as we go deeper into First John. You may feel as though nobody really notices or appreciates your service to God. But the Lord sure does. And one day you’ll be rewarded by Him for it, if your actions and motives are pure.

Jeff Johnson
Pastor Jeff Johnson attracts our attention to First John chapter four, and verses 17-21. In recent studies we’ve been encouraged to love one another, an important part of the Christian life to be sure. But today we want to focus on the vertical, our relationship and love for Father God. Something that should be priority number one!

The Love of God!

What is Christian maturity? Today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff says it’s the Love of God. If God Loves us, we should in turn love people, and this includes those who we consider to be unlovely. Jesus said “they will know that you are my disciples, by your love for one another”.
