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.
13
This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
14
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
15
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
16
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
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.

Now today, pastor John will go on to discuss the power of love over fear and then the practical application of God’s love.
1 John 4:12-21
Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Discover more about the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives and our responsibility to share God’s Word with His world.

What's Love Got To Do With It? Part 4
Jack Hibbs
The so-called “apostle of love,” John himself appeared to have unique and personal insight into the kind of love that comes from the Almighty. After all, he was one of the closest disciples to the Messiah! His gospel, as well as his three New Testament letters seem to reflect this divine love like no other writings!
