—1 John 4:7-13
by: Lisa Moore.
God does no expect us to fulfill a command without empowering us to do so and providing examples for us to follow. God showed His love for us by sending Jesus to atone for our sins while we were yet sinners and Jesus demonstrated His love for us by dying on the cross in our place. Loving one another is impossible to do in our own strength. But if we are in Christ and He is in us, we have His Spirit, and the first fruit of the Spirit is love. While unforgiveness and hatred runs rampant, true believers cannot help but love.
