16
We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
17
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
18
Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.
19
Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God.
20
Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.
21
Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence.

Answered Prayer
Jeff Johnson
In the Gospels, we can read about Jesus and His intimate prayer life with the Father. If Jesus being the Son God felt the need to pray, how much more should we pray? On todays program, pastor Jeff says we need to step out in faith, and pray for our needs. God has given us the free gift of praying to Him, and He wants to bless us. If exercise our prayer life, we will not only grow deeper in our relationship with God, but we will be blessed with answers to our prayers.
God’s Love Defined
Jeff Johnson
Prayer is a vital part of the Christian life. It is how we communicate with God. If we as God’s children pray and ask Him for something, we can expect to get an answer. But today, Pastor Jeff points out “that it’s important to pray according to the will of God.” And in His time He will make all things beautiful. Now get ready to hide God’s Word in your heart, through Sound Doctrine.
