FAMILY THEME: THE LAW OF LOVE

1 John 4:7  -  5:5

Love for other believers is a vital sign that proves we have been born of God.

1.  Love is the Evidence That We Know God, and the Motivation for

     Living Obediently

     (1 John 4:7-8;  Matthew 22:34-40;  Romans 13:8-10)

     Love is a critical test that reveals whether or not you really know God.

 
2.  God Demonstrated Real Love When He Gave His Son's Life for Us

     (1 John 4:9-10;  16b-18;  John 3:16)

    Jesus' death on the cross is the greatest demonstration of love.

 
3.  God's Divine Love Prompts Us to Love Others

     (1 John 4:11-12;  19-21;  5:1-5)

     God's love for us creates in us a love for others.
