Recognizing Christian Love - 3:15 When we don't love other Christians, eternal life is not a controlling influence in our lives. _______________________________________ When we stay close to Jesus, He stays close to us and has a controlling influence in our lives. John 15:1-7

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:16-18 What love is - 3:16-18

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:16 Cain took his brother's life. __________________ Jesus gave His life for us! __________________ He is our example!

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:17 Life vs. Life! _____________________________ Sharing the material things that sustain life = Laying down our lives!

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:17 "shuts up his heart" = "locks up his sympathies" _________________________ "and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him" - KJV ____________________________ We "feel their pain"

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:17 And, some say biblical love is without emotion!!?? ________________________ God's love is not functioning in a person like this!

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:17 Sometimes it's easier to say we'll die for someone than to actually help them in time of need.

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:16 Genuine love demands action! Genuine love matches up with biblical truth!

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:20 We all have had tried to love and felt we haven't done enough, we think about past failures, and such.

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:20 We may experience a sense of mixed motives. ____________________ We feel a sense of guilt that doesn't take into account what we're doing and feel badly.

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:20 But God knows it all! _______________________ He evaluates actions and gives proper credit!

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:20 "before Him" = STRONG! Prayer is emphasized in the context (v. 22).

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:20 We may be tempted to lose confidence in prayer. But we can count on God's matchless love and mercy when we approach Him.

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:21 Of course, our hearts may be trained by the reality of who our God is!

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:22 One of the main things we should pray for is the realization of God's will! Matt. 6:10; Acts 21:14

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:22 When we know God's will, we should pray directly for that. 1 John 5:14-15

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:23 What does it mean to "keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight"?

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:23 First, we are to "believe the name of His son Jesus Christ"... 1) For eternal life (John 20:30-31) and... 2) For effective prayer (John 14:13-14; 15:16)

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:23 Next, love (with faith) summarizes all the commands. John 13:34-35; Romans 13:8, 10

Recognizing Christian Love - 3:23 God's will = Faith in His Son's name and obedience to His Son's commandment!

What's it all about? 1 Timothy 1:5 The goal or purpose of learning the Word is to love those for whom Christ died!
