[1John 4:1-12]

God
is spirit,
yet through His Son, He met with mankind.
The Son of God came to the earth in flesh
and shed His blood for our deliverance (He 10:19-20).
He is the Father’s love,
who came to us from the Father
as Truth.
Our faith is guaranteed of a more potent power (1 Jn 5:4-5)
than any powers in heaven or on earth,
and worth more than anything of this world.
The reason for this is
found in the wonderful truth of how
Christ came in the flesh to give us the love of God.
By loving one another in our life of faith (1 Jn 4:11-12),
we ought to acknowledge how we received God’s love,
and thereby
perfect the love of God.
This is a sign of faith which one who received grace
must have first and foremost,
and is an act of obedience to Christ’s commandment (1 Jn 3:23).
○ Let us surely acknowledge
the grace the Lord has given
by loving the Church.
○ Let us be the Church
where God’s promised gifts are manifested
on account of the Lord’s coming in the flesh.
○ Let us become the church
that reveals God’s love by loving
and thus bear great fruits of evangelism.
※ Let us serve the saints
with a grateful heart while humbling ourselves
every time we remember the Lord’s grace.
