THEME: LOVE OF CHRIST
1 John 4:7-11
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
INSIGHT
-God is the source and the definition of love. Love is the true expression of who God is. God made love a reality in our lives by sending His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to be the propitiation of our sins. Through this sacrifice we know love and are called to also love one another. Christ continues to show us love through His life-giving presence among us. He has also given us His Holy Spirit to dwell in us. Christ’s love for us is unearned, undeserved and utterly free, given through His mercy and grace. We do not deserve it. Freely we have received, let us freely give. We truly know the love of God that overflows in our hearts, we should keep it flowing to others. We are called to love one another if we are born of God and know God; for God is love. How then can we possibly love God while we hate God’s beloved? If we do not love one another including our enemies and those who are suffering among us, we do not know God and we break His commandments which was summarized into the law of love. If we do not love we do not know God and we are not born of Him. If we know that Jesus loves us, let us love our brothers and sisters too. God commands us to love one another as He has loved us, let us obey Him and do according to His will.
