Music Mondays

1 John features three main themes about God. 

  • He is Light - 1:1-3:10
  • He is Love - 3:11-5:5
  • He is Life - 5:6-21

Our sermon series started into the second of those themes this past Sunday.

One of the key points the apostle John makes is that godly love must be demonstrated:

16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
  As dc Talk put it so succinctly, 'luv is a verb'.
