Love Because Love Is from God
Love Because Love Is from God
1 John 4:7-21
Speaker's Picture
Sunday School,  August 16, 2015

For the third and climactic time in 1 John, John urges us as believers to love one another. The focus of this passage is on the reason John uses: "for love is from God." The message seeks to define what love is, explain what it looks like in real life, and really delve into the text to see what it means that "love is from God."
