Topic: Brotherly Love
Text: 1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Brotherly Love is an Action of Sacrifice
1 John 3:16-24
This is what we need as nation, as christian to muslim as friend to strangers as brother to sisters, as leaders to followers, because God shows us love
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Much is said today in the name of promoting love. "Religious" America and the world speaks of the need of love among humans. Songs chant the lyrics "lets all just love one another."
The definition of this love is generally caring for the other person, respecting their rights and living in peace with each other.
The message is as old as man and mankind is no closer than he ever was at showing love to others. Nation continues to rises against nation, neighbor against neighbor. The picture is bleak in spite of all talk about how we all ought to love one another.
The world does not know true love because is does not know the Source of love. The Bible says that God is love and that we cannot know true love apart from knowing Him.
So the concept of love did not come from man did it? It came from God!
I. The ultimate act of love was of a loving God who humbled himself and took the form of a man, come to earth to suffer and die and thereby take the sin debt of the world on Himself, and give His life for you and I. He loved us that much; to do for us what we could not do for ourselves.
A. 1John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: can be correctly translated this following way.
I Pray may the perfect love of God bind us together and heal our nation, may love rules us and guide our leaders, may God deliver us from the spirit of lust in Jesus Name
