Don't forget to come to church tonight for a great time! The sceduele for tonight is on yesterday's post.

1 John 4

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 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.
17 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.
18 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.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 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?
21And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Here is another passage on God's amazing love! Verse 20 was the bull's eye here. John says that how can you love God if you hate your brother, who you have seen, and God you haven't seen? It makes perfect sense. We need to love God with all our power, because He loved us enough to make us and redeem us.

WOW, GOD IS SERIOUS ABOUT US LOVING HIM AND EACH OTHER. my favorite verse is verse 20-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-meaning you can't love God and hate your brother or anyone else because if you hate then God's love is not in you. so the bottom line these past few days is to just love everyone and not hate anyone.
