Cary Cox, from 1 John 4:17-21. John shows us some of the things God’s love accomplishes in our lives as it works among us in the local church. What does love do? It removes our fear of God’s wrath and judgment! It reminds us that he loved us first – we are loved! And it reveals that we are not liars, but that we genuinely love God.

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.
The Test of Love
Cary Cox, from 1 John 2:7-11. John applies the test of love to determine if one is a true Christian. With Jesus’ coming into the earth, the light has exploded into this dark world, and is slowly spreading through his people. God’s light of love is shown in Christ, and in his church, as we love our brothers and sisters! Those who fail to selflessly consider their fellow believers show themselves to be false Christians.
