Series: 1 John
Sermon: The Essence of Love
Scripture: 1 John 4:7-12 & 1 John 5:1-5
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
-1 John 4:7-12
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
-1 John 5:1-5
INTRODUCTION: Love is more than a feeling it's a NEW BIRTH experience.
Love's Foundation... God becoming a man: The Incarnation
9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
- 1 John 4:9
Love's Power... Man becoming like God: The New Birth
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
-2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV
- Love God and others... (1 John 4:11-12 NIV)
11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
- Love drives out fear... (1 John 4:18 NIV)
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
CONCLUSION: The 'New Birth' experience empowers us to overcome the world.
For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
- 1 John 5:4-5
