    The “love of the brethren” is one of the greatest witnesses the church can have, because love is the greatest among all the virtues.

    They Love the Brethren (Ch. 3:11 – 3:18) 1 John 3:11 For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; From the beginning of the ministry of Jesus, He gave this command to His followers. He said, “By this shall all men know that you are My ...read more

    John 3:16 is probably the most well-known Bible reference in the world. But when you look it up, what does it mean for God to love you? What does Jesus coming into the world have to do with it? Let's see just how much and what it means for God to love you.

    If you want to create an oasis of love in a hostile world, don’t hate like Cain. Instead, love like Christ – give yourself with concrete compassion.

    For a little while on a Wednesday afternoon two years ago (July 2017), customers at an ATM in Corpus Christi, Texas, got a curious extra with their cash. Along with a receipt detailing their transaction, they got a little hand-written note. A contractor had been installing a new lock on the ...read more

    It’s ironic that when dealing with these positive commandments, we don’t ever come to a point when we can say, “I have fulfilled them.”

    Thursday before Epiphany 2017 Joy of the Gospel St. John teaches us today in both Epistle and Gospel: “By this we know love, that [Jesus] laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

    Children of the Resurrection are not marked by 1) Murder (1 John 3:12, 14), 2) Hatred (1 John 3:13, 15), and 3) Indifference toward other children of God (1 John 3:16–18).

    A recent story in a popular magazine gave some suggestions for “How to Heal a Family Feud.” It was sprinkled with anecdotes of families torn apart by petty squabbles, carefully nursed grudges, perceived and real hurts, and substantial doses of anger.

    Putting Our Love Into Action Series

    Our efforts for the Lord will be futile without love. We know the Bible commands that we love one another, and yet we fail to fully heed the command. Our world needs to experience love in action, not just in word.

    Putting our Love into Action 1 John 3: 11-17 Our text this evening continues to deal with the great theme of love that John has already dealt with extensively. I suppose there is no wonder John felt so impressed to emphasize love among the believers. He was blessed to walk with the Lord, studying ...read more

    This passage centers around one basic truth for people that believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. People that believe in God and in Jesus Christ are considered to be “children of God.” Focus on purity as God's children.

    CHILDREN OF GOD 1 JOHN 3:1-17 #childrenofGod RESPONSIVE READING [READ 1 John 3:1-17] LEADER: How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

    John tells us that a true child of God seeks to be gracious and generous.

    The theme of this portion of 1 John is love. But instead of portraying the need for believers to love one another in a positive light, John speaks to us about loving one another by emphasizing the negative. In these verses, he tells us what a lack of love will lead to. 1. Murder - vs. ...read more

    It is our love for one another that lets our light shine unto the world and boldly states we are Christians! In 1 John 3:11-18 John states if one is indifferent or hates a brother or sister then either one is not saved or is out of fellowship with God.

     | 1,457 views

    In this passage of scripture, John deals with something we want to look at very closely and consider in this message.

    He deals with the topic of how we are supposed to love one another. Of course much of the Bible deals with this subject, yet it seems to be something we Christians know very little about and those who are not Christians know even less. As we look at our text we want to learn from what it says to ...read more

     | 1,831 views

    The church has a different goal–we are to model for the world the authentic way to love. The spiritual quest we must follow is that Jesus calls us to be different. John suggest the failure to love extravagantly, as God first loved us, is perhaps one of the greatest sins.

    How do you explain the hatred and evilness in our society? How do you comprehend the hatred between the Jews and Palestinians? How can we support the evilness we see on the political scene?

    I was going door-to-door. I met a woman who said, “I have never sinned.” I knew this wasn’t true. It couldn’t be true; the Bible tells me this is not true.

    None does good, no not one. Romans 3:12, Psalm 14:3 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 We are all like sheep; we’ve gone astray: everyone has turned to his own way.
