How Should We Love the Church

Cary Cox, from 1 John 3:16-18. In clear and bold language, the apostle John teaches that believers must love one another in the church with the same voluntary, self-sacrificial love that Jesus showed when he laid down his life for us on the cross! What would this look like in real life in a local church?

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.
