GOD IS LOVE!

Love Brings Joy

Scott Young.com – Pastor of HOPE

 

1 John 1:4 - These things we write to you that your joy may be full

1 John 4:16 - We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.

 

LIVING IN GOD’S LOVE

 

1. We Can Know Truth

1 John 4:1 - Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1 John 4:2 - By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God.

 

2. We Can Overcome

1 John 4:4 - You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

 

3. We Can Cast Out Fear

1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

1 John 4:17 - Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world

 

4. We Can See What Is Important

1 John 4:19 - We love because God loved us first. [20] But if we say we love God and don’t love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don’t love the people we can see? [21] The commandment that God has given us is: “Love God and love each other!”
