A Love Relationship with God

Cary Cox, from 1 John 4:13-16. John focuses on the glorious reality that believers have a love relationship with God through the gospel: we abide in him, and he abides in us! We are welcomed into the fellowship of the Trinity!

God’s Love at Work in Us

Cary Cox, from 1 John 4:11-12. It is God’s will for the amazing love he showed at the cross to be duplicated in the daily life of local churches! We who have received his love must now give his love to one another. And John teaches that, when the church is loving each other with God’s love, the invisible God is present among us and revealed in our love!

God is Love so Love the Church

Cary Cox, from 1 John 4:7-8. John commands the church to love the church, but not in our own strength. God is love by nature, and his love flows to us in the gospel! As we rest in God’s love, we are enabled to love one another.
