1 John – Week 7 – Day 3

READ 

1 John 4:7-8 

7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 

Those who do not listen to spiritual truth evidence they are not believers in Jesus. Also, those who do not love others indicate they are not believers. Because God is love, those who have received Him into their lives will reflect that love to others. By contrast, those who do not love others reveal they do not have the God of love in their hearts. 

REFLECT 

Think about your life this past week. What have you done for others that reveal acts of love? Are there areas in which you need to improve? 

RESPOND 

Read 2 Thessalonians 3:4-5 to see what Paul prayed for believers. You and your friend should take some time to pray this for your Christian friends.
