Summary
Core Theme
The central theme is that God's love is the foundational principle of Christianity, demonstrated by His sending of His Son, Jesus Christ, and is meant to be experienced, perfected, and actively shared by believers, transforming their lives and casting out fear.
I'm reading the word of God from 1 John
4 beginning at verse
21 beloved let us love one another for
love is of
God and everyone that loveth is born of
God and knowth
God he that loveth not knoweth not God
for God is
love in this was manifested the love of
God toward us that God sent his only
begotten son into the world that we
might live through
him here in is love not that we love 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 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 by this we know that we dwell in him
and he in us because he hath given us of his
his
spirit and we have seen and do testify
that the father sent the son to be the
savior 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
this
world there is no fear in love
but perfect love casteth out fear
because fear hath
punishment he that feareth is not made
perfect in
love we love him because he first loved
us if a man says 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 may God help us to appropriate this
love if you read again very
carefully the gospel records of the
birth of
Christ you will discover an amazing fact
nowhere in those
chapters do you find the word
love in fact if you'll take the hym book
don't do it
now and Page through the Section given
to the Advent
hymns you'll find that uh most of them
don't mention the word love Silent Night
talks about Love's pure
light we find joy and peace grace
mercy but you don't find the word
love now this doesn't mean that love is not
not
there Mercy is God's love in not giving
us what we do deserve and Grace is God's
love in giving us what we don't
deserve and there can't be peace without
love there can't be Joy without
love so love is the motive behind it and
love is the atmosphere that pervades
it but interestingly enough in these
records the word love is not
found the Apostle John is conceited to
be the Apostle of
Love there was a time when John was not
that kind of a person Jesus gave him a
nickname sons of thunder James and
John one day they wanted to call fire
down from heaven to burn up some people
a Marvel way to show love but something
happened to John and John has become the
Apostle of love and in 1 John 4
beginning at verse 7 he talks to us about
about
love in the coming of our Lord Jesus he
hits the keynote of the Advent when he
says in verse 9 in this was manifested
the love of God toward
us that God sent his only begotten son
into the world that we might live
through him this is um another reference to
to
manifested back in chapter 1 of 1 John
verse two the life was
manifested in the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ he brought
life in chapter 3 and verse
5 he was manifested to take away our
sins chapter 3 and verse 8 he was
manifested that he might destroy the
works of the
devil and now here in chapter 4 and: 9
our Lord Jesus Christ was
manifested that he might prove to us the
love of God the Apostle John makes it
very clear that love is the theme of The
Coming of Our Lord in
fact from verse 7 to the end of this
chapter verse 21 the word love is used 29
29
times and this is the whole thrust and
the whole heartbeat of the coming of Our
Lord the expression of the go of God's
love now I think it would be good for
us to grow in our experience of the love of
of
God life is a
school and among the many lessons that
we have to learn in this school of life
as Christians is growing in our love our
experience of God's love
I think every mother and dad longs to
see the children grow up in
love whatever else they may not
get parents are anxious that their
children grow up in love to love the
right things and to love in the right
way and to experience and grow in This
Thing Called Love of course when the
Bible talks about love it's not talking
about shallow romance this is a love
that comes from Heaven not from
Hollywood he's talking about this deep
Godlike love it's not erotic love it's
not even brotherly love it is agape love
it is love that is deep and sacrificing
love that is
spontaneous love that is
God and I think that John is teaching us
here four basic lessons about love and
if you and I will learn these lessons Oh
What A Difference it'll make in our
lives how many people there are going
around in fear when they could be living in
in
love how many people there are living in
hatred when they could be living in
love and 1 John 4: 7- 21 give to us four
basic lessons on love that can be
ours if we'll just yield to the Lord
Jesus Christ verses seven and 8 he
teaches us what God is God is
love then in verses 9 and 10 he teaches
us what God did he sent his
son in verses
11-18 he teaches us what God is now
doing perfecting our love and then in
verses 19- 21 he teaches us what God
wants us to do love one another four
very simple very basic lessons that
explain to us why Jesus came lesson
number one he teaches us in verses 7 and
8 what God is God is love now he repeats
this down in verse 16 God is loved there
are four statements in the Bible that
define God for us Jesus says in John 4
and verse 24 God is
spirit that means that God is not
limited by a human body that God is
uncreated you and I are created we have
a beginning God has no beginning God is Spirit
Spirit
Jesus said God is spirit and they that
worship Him must worship Him in spirit
and in truth God is spirit and then 1
John 1:5 tells us that God is light this
is the message which we have heard of
him and declare unto you that God is
light this means God's holy God is
spirit and God is light God is holy God
is not
contaminated God is Not polluted God
does not sin there's no Shadows with
God's light God hates
sin over in Hebrews chap 12 and verse 29
you have a rather awesome statement
about God it says our God
is a consuming
fire god judges God is Spirit God is
light he hates sin God is a consuming
fire he has to judge sin which leaves us
without any defense except for 1 John
4:8 God is love and the amazing thing is
that God in his wisdom and in his love
found a way to remain holy and still forgive
forgive
propitiation now God is love John is
teaching us what God is we we have to
know what God is if we're going to
relate to
him if our lives are filled with hatred
and God is love then we can't have any
relationship with God if you and I are
murderers at heart and God is love then
we can't have any relationship with God
something has to happen to
us for us to be able to experience this
love of God now God loves even if we
don't love him
back here in his love not that we loved
God but that he loved us there was a
time in our lives when we were unsaved
when we were
hateful we didn't think about God our
thought was not to glorify God to love
God to put God first in our lives we
thought only of number one
ourselves and we weren't too concerned
about other people now we did love our
families and we did love our friends
there is a human love even among
thieves Jesus said to his disciples if
you were of the world the world would
love his own the world has love unsaved
people have love but not this deep
spiritual Agape sacrificing spontaneous
self-giving kind of love that is
God and so John's first lesson leaves me
with my mouth open and my head bowed
saying I just can't make it if God is
love how am I ever going to get through to
to
him which leads us to the second lesson
that John teaches us in verses 9 and 10
it's not that we got through to God God
got through to us lesson number one what
God is God is
love God by his very nature is love all
that God says he says in love all that
God does he does in love even when he
judges he judges in
love lesson number two John teaches us
what God did he sent his
son in this was manifested the love of
God toward us that God sent his only
begotten son into the world that we
might live through him here in his love
not that we loved God but that he loved
us and sent his son to be the
propitiation for our sins let's go back
to John's day let's go back to the days
of the early church let's go back to
Palestine let's walk the streets that
Jesus walked let's stop a Greek here
comes a Greek F going down the street
perhaps a merchant or a philosopher we
say Excuse me sir um are you Greek
yes do you worship gods and goddesses
yes we do how do you know when your Gods
love you
you how can you tell whether or not the
gods that you worship love
you well would our Greek friend would
say there's not a great deal in our holy
books about the gods loving us judging us
us
yes giving us wisdom sometimes yes
occasionally fighting our battles but um
there's not much in our religion about
the love of God thank you
and so you stop a Roman here comes a
Roman Centurion the very highest of the
Roman soldiers would say Excuse me sir
you're a Roman yes you worship the gods
well we have our religious Traditions
how do you know when your God loves you
oh when we win our
battles when when the Roman Legions go
forth and we win our battles then we
know that our Gods love us thank
you here comes a Jewish Merchant let's
stop and ask Kim excuse me sir how do
you know uh when your Jehovah God loves
you you believe in Jehovah God oh yes
yes three times a year I come to
Jerusalem to worship and celebrate the
Feast how do you know when your God
loves you sir oh it's easy it tells us
in the law when our crops are increasing
when our flocks and our herds are
increasing when the land is wealthy when
when our wives bear many sons and
daughters then we know that our God loves
loves
us suppose you went down to State and
Madison and you stopped someone and said
do you believe in God yes how do you
you you
see if winning the
battles is an Evidence of God's love
then there are a lot of people that God doesn't
doesn't
love cuz in every war somebody wins and somebody
somebody
loses and if being wealthy and having
your goods increase is an Evidence of
love then there are a lot of people God
poor you and I may look at the
possessions that we have and think well
we're average people with average
possessions I tell you most of the
people in the world today if they saw
what you have and what I have they would
there are millions of people who go to
hungry how do we know God loves
us oh if God loves you you'll never be
sick then when you get sick God has
ceased to love
you if God loves you you'll never go
through difficulty but then when we go
through difficulty God doesn't love us
my Bible teaches me that God loves me in
a very special way when I'm going
through difficulty what's the problem
here the problem is this people are
judging the love of God on human
levels how many little children will say
if you really loved me you'd give this to
to
me and mother and dad say but we're not
going to give it to you because we do
love you if you really love me you do
this or you do that oh no you see the
childish level of Love is oh you love me
when you give to me the adult level of
Love Is You Love me when you won't give to
to
me how do we know God loves us because
he sent his son to this earth to die for
our sins and the next time you're going
through sorrow and you can't see
anything or anybody you can't even read
your Bible because the tears are so
heavy in your heart and in your eyes you
remember God loves you the next time
that phone rings and you get news that
just goes through your heart like a
sword and something near and dear or
someone near and dear is just snatched
away from you and Satan says Oh I
thought your God loved you you look
Satan right straight in the face and say
he does love me how do you know he loves
you he sent his son to die for me this
is Romans 5'8 but God
proved God proved his love toward
us not by making us rich but by making
not by giving us victory in battle but
criminal God proved his love toward us
in that while we were yet sinners Christ
died for us he didn't wait until we
improved to die for us he didn't say if
you will do better I will do this he
said you'll never do better until I do
this and he died for us what God did he
sent his son the cross is the proof of
God's love greater love hath no man than
this that a man laid down his life for
his friends and my savior laid down his
enemies John uses a word that the
theologians like to play with
propitiation he used it back in chapter
2 verse two and he is the
propitiation for our sins what is
propitiation John makes two marvelous
statements about the Lord he says God is
love and God is
light now most people see one of these
two but not the other there are those
who say God is light he hates sin and
therefore he must judge sin there's no
hope there are those who say God is love
and he puts up with anything therefore
live any way you please John doesn't
make that mistake John does not make our
God up in heaven a doting scile
grandfather who says to the children and
grandchildren just live any way you
please I'll close my eyes to it nor does
John make God a Heavenly dictator a
Stern judge who frowns upon us and looks
for ways to make us
miserable John builds a bridge between
God is love and God is life and that
bridge is
propitiation the word propitiation has
to do with meeting the just demands of
God's law now God is
light and God does have a law and that
law is
unchanging God is not going to bend his
law for us God is not going to turn his
back on his own law God has a law and
that law says the soul that sinth it
so what does God do God looks at lost
Sinners Like Us and says I love you and
I want to save you God looks at his law
and says I cannot break my own law so
God sends his
son who pays the price for our sin who
takes upon his body the punishment that
we deserve and this frees God to be true
to his law and true to his love he can
reach out and save lost Sinners and not
violate his own Holiness that's
propitiation now if you stopped a Greek
back in John's day and said Do you ever
propitiate your Gods oh yeah oh yeah we
bring sacrifices and we we try to Plate
the anger of our God that's not what
John's talking about never get the idea
that God the father is angry at you but
God the son loves you and he keeps
saying oh Father don't do anything
please that's not the picture of
Salvation at all our Salvation is the
result of God the father and God the son
and God the Holy Spirit
lovingly working together
together
propitiation is the work of the Lord
Jesus Christ whereby he met the just and
holy demands of God's law
and as it were freed the hands of God he
now could be holy and loving he could be
judge and
savior he could be just and the
justifier of those who believe in Christ
what did God do he sent his son now
because of his death in verse
9 and verse 10 we have a birth in verse 7
7
because Jesus died I can be born
again because he tasted the holy wrath
of God I can experience the Holy Love of
God by being born into God's family and
John goes right down the line in verse 7
he that loveth is born of God and
knoweth God what is salvation Jesus
tells us and this is life eternal that
they might Know Thee the only true God
and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent
getting to know God personally being
born into God's
family what God is God is
love you say well I know that let's move
to lesson number two what God did he
sent his son you say I know that what
have you done about
it have you come to Jesus Christ by
faith and said oh Lamb of God I come
save me
you say well I've done that well then
you should move to lesson number three
in verses
11-18 he tells us what God is now doing
and the key word in 11-8 is the word
dwell five times he uses it verse 12 if
we love one another God dwelleth in us
verse 13 by this we know that we dwell
in him verse 15 God dwelleth in in him
and he in God verse 16 he that dwelleth
in love dwelleth in God and then he
mentions the word perfected verse 12 his
love is perfected in US verse 17 our
love is made perfect what's he talking
about he's talking about what God is now
doing in the lives of
Believers before you were saved the
heart was filled with
selfishness greed hatred Paul wrote to
Titus and said we were hat ful hating
one another fighting one
another and then when the love of God
came the kindness of God came to us
something happened down inside what is that
that
something God gave us his holy spirit
verse 13 by this know we that we dwell
in him and he in us because he hath
given us of his Spirit Romans chapter 5
puts it this way the love of
God is shed abroad in our hearts it
comes like a fountain a beautiful
swelling up and welling up of the love
of God the love of God is shed abroad in
our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is
given unto us my spirit is selfish the
holy spirit is loving my spirit is
greedy and hateful the holy spirit is
loving and so when God Saves you he
gives you the Holy Spirit he gives you a
new nature down inside and that new
nature is like God's nature and God is
love and therefore we experience love oh
do do understand that the love of God is
not a Doctrine in a Systematic Theology
book the love of God is an experience
down in your own
heart when the fullness of the time was
come wrote Paul God sent forth his
son then a couple of verses later at
Galatians 4 Paul says and God hath sent
forth the spirit of his son into your
hearts crying Abba Father the Christmas
event God sent his son the Christmas
experience God has sent forth the spirit
of his son into our
hearts now what is God doing God is
perfecting his love in
us I hear Christians say oh pray that
I'll have greater
Faith oh pray that I'll have greater
wisdom oh pray that I'll have greater
strength when was the last time you
heard any saint get up and say please
pray that I'll have perfect
love we need this we're talking here
about a maturing of our love now there
is a baby kind of love when you're first
born again there's a baby kind of love
that can be selfish there's an
adolescent kind of love that can be
selfish God wants to mature us into an
adult kind of love his kind of love
whereby his love is perfected in us and
our love toward him is perfected that he
is giving to us a greater measure of his
love within and we're giving to him a
Without Love is perfected by abiding
that's why he uses this word dwell five
times the word dwell in verse 12 and 13
and 15 and 16 is the word abide our Lord
likes this word abide over and over
again in John 15 if you abide in me and
my words abide in you if you abide if
you abide what is abiding it is
fellowship where there's love there has
to be contact where there's love there
has to be communion where there's love
there has to be communication and love
means Abiding and when we're walking
with the Lord and talking with the Lord
and dwelling with the Lord there is that
experience of his perfecting love in US
5 whosoever keepeth his
word in him verily is the love of God
perfected did you see that how do we
have God's love perfected matured in us
through the word it constantly amazes me
how many Christians just ignore their
Bibles they have time for television
time for everything under the sun no
time for the word of God and yet when
you open your Bible God opens his mouth
he talks to
you how can we abide in him if he
doesn't talk to us how do we abide in
him through his word how do we abide in
him through his Spirit chapter 4 verse
13 by this know we that we dwell in him
and he in us because he hath given us of
his Spirit if we walk in the spirit will
not fulfill the desires of the flesh if
we walk in the spirit let's also live in
the spirit let's be filled with the
spirit he's saying that the spirit of
God takes the word of God and perfects
the love of God in
us and it's a marvelous experience the
greatest need in the Christian Life is
for mature Christian
love love between us and God now God
wants to perfect his love in us and he
us you know there's some very wonderful
consequences to all of this you say how
can I tell if God is perfecting his love
in me how can I tell if I have a
maturing kind of a love well he tells us
here verse 12 no man hath seen God at any
any
time now Jesus said if you've seen me
you've seen the father but he's not here
on Earth anymore no man ha seen God at
any time if we love one another
God dwelleth in us and his love is
perfected in us and people can see God
here's one of the Glorious results of
perfecting love as we walk with the Lord
in his word God is seeing in US John is
saying our Lord is not here anymore he's
not walking around we can't see him but
we are here and people can see God in us
if God is love and we are living in love
then they're going to see God for God is
love that's an awesome thing we could
spend the rest of this time just
thinking of the awesomeness of that
statement if we are abiding in him and
growing in our love people will see God in
us he also tells us in verse
13 that we're going to have Assurance by
this we know that we dwell in him and he
in us because he's given us of his
Spirit when we are growing in our love
then the holy spirit of God is able to
teach us and guide us and we know what
do in verses 12 and 16 he talks about
the love between the
Saints there are some Christians who
think that the more spiritual you become
the smaller your circle of close
acquaintances becomes because you're so
spiritual nobody can fellowship with you
it's just the
opposite the more that the love of God
is perfected in us the more we reach out
to other people would you please
remember that Christian love does not
mean we have to agree with everybody
Christian love does not even mean we
have to like everybody Christian love
means we treat other people the way God treats
treats
us God forgives us we forgive them God's
patient with us we're patient with them
God speaks kindly to us we speak kindly to
to
them God's not saying that we have to
like everybody so that we'd be willing
to go on a vacation with them or have
them move in with us what he's saying is
there is an experience of mature love
that means we treat other people the way
us what God is God is love what God did
God sent his son what God is doing he's
perfecting our love have you come to
that lesson yet my friend can we look at
this past year and say during this last
year God taught me how to love God
perfected my love my love was very
immature my love was babyish I was in
the Cradle but God has perfected my
love the final lesson that John teaches
21 what God wants us to do share his
love you see in verse 18 he's talking
about fear in verses 19- 21 he's talking
about loving others there are multitudes
of people who are living in fear now
there is a proper fear of God there is a
proper reverence for the Lord but what
he's talking about here is punishment
servile fear fear that cringes not fear that
that
respects and John is telling us as we
mature in our love we don't live in fear
we aren't afraid of tomorrow God loves
us he'll take care of tomorrow we aren't
afraid of the day of judgment as he is
so are we in this world we'll stand
before him in Jesus Christ's
righteousness we aren't afraid of the
day of judgment he loves us and we love
him when two people love each other they
aren't afraid of each
other I'm sure I'm speaking to some
people right now who um are afraid of
the past it might catch up with you
and you're afraid of the present because
uh you can't handle it and you're afraid
of the future because you don't know
what it scares you you don't what's
coming and so you live in fear you wake
up in fear and you live in fear and you
go to sleep in fear and you dream in
fear and God is saying to us you don't
have to live that
way don't have to be afraid of life and
afraid of death and afraid of judgment
and Afraid of the past afraid of the
future because you walk in love if you
know Jesus Christ as your savior if
you've experienced the love of God this
love is perfected in our hearts and
there's no fear when you get rid of that
fear my friend then you can reach out to
other people most of the people in the
city of Chicago who tell me they are
lonely most of the people in the city of
Chicago who tell me they are rejected
and unwanted are people who are living
in some kind of fear and they have so
locked themselves up nobody can get to
them and my friend when you're locked up
in the chains of fear you can't reach
out and love somebody else and so after
dealing with this matter of growing in
our love John says there's a fourth
lesson I want you to
learn what God wants you to do love one
another several times in first John he's
talked about this if you go back and
read the entire five chapters of First
John you'll find it every once in a
while John says now let's love one
another another I want to command you to
love one another this is one of the
evidences that you're saved that you
love one another by this we know that
we've passed from death into life
because we love the Brethren all the way
through first John he weaves together
three beautiful strands truth love
Holiness truth love Holiness and he'll
talk about God is light then he'll talk
about love then he'll talk about truth
and he weaves it all together
and what he's saying is simply this that
if we're experiencing this perfecting
love that God has in us we're going to
reach out and love other
people we Christians like to talk about
love in the abstract if you've read the
screw tape Letters by CS Lewis you'll
recall that statement he makes when he
says um don't let him love anybody in
particular try to keep him from loving
the person next door or the person down
the street just let him love people in
the ABS ract in the Peanuts comic strip
lonus says something like that he says I
love mankind it's people I can't
stand this is the way we are we sing
about love and we hear about love when
it comes to just getting right down and
carrying a burden or drying a tear or
getting an arm underneath somebody
else's arm and holding them up we don't
that the Christian love he's talking
about here is not sticky sentimental
kind of
feeling the Christian love he's talking
about here is God's kind of love active
love love that does something love that
sacrifices love that pays a price love
that doesn't do it by remote control
love that doesn't pay a substitute to do
it love that comes right where we are
and gets into the Nitty Gritty of life
oh how easy it is for us to sit in our
Ivory Towers and pray for people how
hard it is to get down into the dirty
streets and show love to people
people most of us as saints of God are
isolated and
insulated and not much can get through
anymore too many of us substitute words
for Deeds if a man says I love God you
find this all the way through the go the
first John verse 6 of chapter 1 if we
say we have fellowship with him verse 8
if we say we have no sin verse 10 if we
say that we have not sinned chapter 2:4
he that saith I know him chapter 2: 6 he
that say he abideth in him all the way
through here John is contrasting words and
deeds I don't have to preach this let
John preach it let me read to you from 1
John 3 verse 16 we all know John 3:16
for God so loved the world how about 1
John 3:16 by this perceive we the love
of God because he laid down his life for
us and we ought to lay down our lives
for the Brethren but whosoever hath this
world's good and seeth his brother have
need and shutteth up his compassions
from him how dwelleth the love of God in
him my little children let us not love
in word neither in tongue but in deed
trueu so life is a school my my
friend and the greatest lesson we can
learn in this school of life is how to
love not to love on the human level
anybody can do that to love on the Divine
Divine
level human beings return good for good
and evil for evil they return Love For
Love and hatred for hatred saints of God
return love even for evil and hatred
Jesus said love your
enemies life is a school and we better
learn these lessons we better learn what
God is he's
love and what God did he sent his son to
die for us and if we've trusted him as
our savior the third lesson what God is
doing perfecting our love Building
Bridges not
walls sowing seeds of blessing not
hatred peacemakers not
troublemakers and the lesson of what God
that's what the advent's all
about in this was manifested the love of
God toward
us that God sent his only begotten son
into the world that we might live
through him before he came we were dead
he's come we've trusted him we're alive
before he came we didn't know God now we
know God before he came our hearts were
filled with poison now they can be
filled with love before he came we
didn't know the lessons of love but now
that he's come we know
them what shall we do with them because
one of these days there's going to be
that final examination when God's going
to call us up and say all right you were
in the school of life you were learning
the lessons of love what level were you
at when you got
at only through the Lord Jesus Christ by
his holy spirit can we ever experience
this kind of
love constantly amazes me how the Saints
can hold grudges against one another how
the Saints can take picky unish minor
insignificant little things and
make big issues out of them it
constantly amazes me how people can sing
about love and talk about love and yet promote
promote
clicks promote disagreements spread lies
my brothers and sisters such things
ought not so to be may God help us today
not just today but every day to walk in
that kind of love that he showed toward
us that that love might be perfected in
us that we might walk in openness and
honesty and not in
fear that people might be able to look
at us and say you
know that reminds me of God for God is
love gracious father father we have
failed so often we have worked for you
but our work has not been a work of
love so often dear father we've gone out
and fought battles but it's not been a
labor of
love and though our message might be
right and though our mechanics might be
right sometimes our motive has been
wrong and father we confess this
sin cleanse our hearts of all suspicion
and criticism and hatred fill our hearts
with the kind of perfecting love that
makes us more like
Christ I pray for those who have never
been born again who have never trusted
the Savior oh God help them to trust
today and be born into the family of
love I pray Heavenly Father for those of
us who have been saved long enough to
know what this is all about forgive us
for not being farther along in our
lessons forgive us for selfishness for
defensiveness forgive us oh God when we
have been a part of the problem instead
of the answer
and help us today so to be filled with
love that we're not
afraid because you are
