“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalm 46:10
I John 4 {Conclusion}
"And this commandment have we from Him, that he who loves God love his brother also." 1 John 4:21 We have reached the end of our chapter in 1st. John! Way to go y'all! How does this chapter wrap up after all the great truths that we have been delving into? Let's...
LOVE: Conditional?
"If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" I John 4:20 We serve a God of love. Jesus loved us so much, that He was willing to lay down His life,...
A Channel of His Love
We love him, because he first loved us. "I love you, Lord, but with no love of mine, For I have none to give; I love you, Lord; but all the love is yours, For by your love I live. I am as nothing, and rejoice to be Emptied, and lost, and swallowed up in you." In the...
To Fear or Not to Fear? You Have a Choice…
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18 One of the most common weaknesses of man is fear. We fear our future, we fear failure, we fear loss, we fear pain, we...

“God loves you”, we hear it said many times. Do you truly understand what it means to be loved by God? That “God loves you unconditionally, just as you are, not as you should be?” Today’s verse is 1 John 4:17, “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have...
Dwelling {in} Love
"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." 1 John 4:1 "He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God." What does it look like to dwell in love? To dwell means to live or stay as...
Supernatural!
“All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God.” -1 John 4:15 We have talked a lot about love this far… And I’m not about to change the subject. However, I want to take you to a scene in Revelation chapter 4 for a brief...
Stopping Half-Way
"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." I John 4:14 If we stop to think about it, the truth that God sent His son into the world to bring us salvation is mind-blowing! When we look at what Scripture says about the...
His Spirit With{in} Us
Imagine that you were saved from hell, but had no relationship with God. Would it be worth it? If you were in Heaven, but God wasn't there, would that be eternal life? Something I think we tend to forget is our relationship with Christ. That may sound odd, but I think...
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
