1 John 4:7-11 (NASB)

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. ⁸ The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. ⁹ By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Sermon Outline:

1) We must love each other because God is love. (4:7-8)

2) God’s love was made public by sending His Son into the World for the purpose that we might live through Him. (4:9-10)
