The Love God Commands

Scripture: 1 John 3

Monday night Robert Harkrider spoke to us from 1 John 3. "The Love God Commands" calls us to "believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ" and to "love one another" (1 John 3:23). Every other commandment of God hangs on the first two.

We love God because He first loved us (1 John 4:8-10). We love our neighbors because our love of God affects our love of others (1 John 4:7-8, 11-12). We love our neighbors because our love of others affects our love of God (1 John 4:20-21). Our attitude of heart is to be sincere, not hypocritical (1 John 3:10-19).

Thanks to Brother Harkrider for reminding us of the love God commands!
