Walking in Faith:
Walking in Love
1 John 4:7-19Slide3Slide4Slide5
The Value of God’s love is measured by…
It’s MotiveSlide6
1 John 4:7-8
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
But
anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.Slide7
2 Timothy 2:13
If
we are unfaithful,
he
remains faithful,
for
he cannot deny who he is.Slide8
1 John 4:10a, 19
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved
us…
We
love
because he
first loved us. (NIV)Slide9
1 John 4:7
Dear friends, let us
continue
to love one another, for love comes from God.Slide10Slide11
Thou Who hast loved us
first, O God, alas!
We
speak of it in terms of history as if
Thou hast
only loved us first but a single time, rather than that without ceasing
Thou hast
loved us first many
times
and every day and our whole life through. Slide12
When
I awake
in the morning and turn
my
soul toward
Thee – Thou art
the first
– Thou hast
loved
me
first; if I rise at dawn and at the same second turn my soul toward
Thee
in prayer,
Thou art
there ahead of me,
Thou hast
loved me first. Slide13
When I withdraw from the distractions of the day and turn my soul toward Thee, Thou art the first and thus forever.
And yet we always speak ungratefully as if You have loved us first only once.Slide14Slide15
The Value of God’s love is measured by…
It’s CostSlide16
1 John 4:9-10
God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him
.
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.Slide17
Philippians 2:6-8
…though
he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
but
emptied himself
,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.Slide18Slide19Slide20
The Value of God’s love is measured by…
It’s IncreaseSlide21
1 John 4:11-13
Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other
.
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us
.
And
God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.Slide22
1 John 4:16b-18
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
And
as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
Such
love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.Slide23
