Lesson 5009

 (Lesson 5009) (10-18-25) 1st John 4:7-21 

   “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.” 

   Today’s quote teaches that love comes from God and that those of us who truly love God and all mankind, show we have been born of Him and His Holy Spirit dwells in us. God revealed His love for us by sending His Son into the world so that we might have everlasting life through faith Him. Those who believe in Jesus’ life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension receive eternal salvation. That same love should always flow through us to others. God proved His love by sending Jesus to save us, eternal life comes only through complete faith in His finished work. Real believers demonstrate their faith by loving God with all we are and loving our neighbor's as we love ourselves. Today’s lesson is one that should be taken very seriously by every child of God in today’s circumstances. ~
