1 John 4:7-16

Listen to 1 John 4:7-16

Love and God

7 Dear friends, let's love each other, because love is from God, and everyone who loves is born from God and knows God.
8 The person who doesn't love does not know God, because God is love.
9 This is how the love of God is revealed to us: God has sent his only Son into the world so that we can live through him.
10 This is love: it is not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son as the sacrifice that deals with our sins.
11 Dear friends, if God loved us this way, we also ought to love each other.
12 No one has ever seen God. If we love each other, God remains in us and his love is made perfect in us.
13 This is how we know we remain in him and he remains in us, because he has given us a measure of his Spirit.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the savior of the world.
15 If any of us confess that Jesus is God's Son, God remains in us and we remain in God.
16 We have known and have believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who remain in love remain in God and God remains in them.

A Dream for the Church
A Dream for the Church
Stuart and Jill Briscoe

There’s a lot of debate about what the church is supposed to focus on. Some say it should be primarily concerned with bringing people to Christ, while others believe the focus should be on maturing existing believers. So, how do we know if we’re “doing church” right? Can we be certain that we’re making an impact in ways that matter most? In this message, Pete Briscoe takes you to 1 John to outline God’s dream for the church. You’ll discover a lesson that goes beyond the debate of men and becomes an entirely new and fulfilling way of life!
