Love. Yes, Again! | 1 John 4:7-21

Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor

Sermon Notes:

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Genuine Christian love is irreducibly SIMPLE and yet inimitably FOREIGN and thus we must keep coming back to REFLECT on and EXAMINE it in OURSELVES.

Matthew 24:3-5, 12-13 // Revelation 2:1-5

Love begins with a DOCTRINE (The TRUTH of WHO God IS)

Acts 14:16-17

It produces DELIGHT (JOY in WHAT He has DONE)

1 Peter 1:8

And, leads to DEVOTION (COMMITMENT to LIVE to SHOW and TELL OTHERS)

John 15:10-12

“Love is the overflow and expansion of joy in God, which gladly meets the needs of others… It is first a deeply satisfying experience of the fullness of God’s grace, and then a doubly satisfying experience of extending this joy in God to another person.” — John Piper

Just as GOD has DRAWN US into the pre-existent love that He had in Himself; WE too now LIVE to DRAW OTHERS into the love of God we have for Him and one another.

Luke 7:36-47

Our PARTICIPATION with God in His loving INITIATIVE to draw His people to Himself is a crucial, ongoing means by which our SALVATION is BOLSTERED and our FEAR of JUDGMENT is ELIMINATED.

2 Timothy 1:7-12
