—1 John 3:18-24
by: Nick Kersten.
All throughout this letter, John reminded ‘his children’ to love one another. Because of the atoning sacrifice of Christ, we are free to love one another as a way of manifesting the work of God in this fallen world. In a world where individualism and self-protection reign, it is important to remember that God is greater than our hearts so that we can love without fear, as Jesus himself did. Love is the Christian’s identifying mark in a self-absorbed world.
