“Love Is The Key!"

1 John 4:7-21; 5:1-3

INTRO. In this world we live, the word Love has lost the meaning that God intended for it. We talk of love in our man-woman relationships. Many verses of poem and many pages of literature have been devoted to the subject of “love”. Many of these poems and stories are beautiful renditions where the author has poured his heart into the work, but none of these works seem to have captured the true essence of "love”.

What is true Love? In our text, v8b tells us—“God is love." Until we know Christ as our Savior and Lord, we can't truly experience love as we should! Oh, We might be able to show earthly affection, but we won't know Heavenly love.

In our Text, the word Love is the Greek word “Agape”. It is a love that loves no matter what the circumstance. It is a love that loves with all it has. It is a love that is unending. It is God's love! Have you experienced God's love today?

(1) Love Is The Key To Salvation

Text: 1 John 4:8-l0

A. HE LOVED US WHEN WE WERE HIS ENEMIES (Romans 5:6-8).

B. HE LOVED THE WORLD WITHOUT EXCEPTION (John 3:16).

(2) Love Is The Key To Service

A. SERVICE IS LOVE’S MANIFESTATION (I John 5:1-3).

SERVICE IS LOVE’S MEASURE (John 14:15, 21-23).

(3) Love Is The Key To Success

LOVE CAUSES US TO OVERCOME (1 John 5:4, 5).

B. LOVE CAUSES US TO BE OBEDIENT (2 Timothy 4:8; James 1:12).

Closing: Have you ever experienced God's love? If not, come today let me show you what true love is!

Christian, Are you loving God with all your heart, soul, and body?

"Love That is God"

When by Grace thru Faith our Usarts open to the Love that is God, Then Loving We Feel Loved; Serving, We feel Served; And Dying to Self and sin, We come to Abundant and Eternal Life.
