1 John 3:11-24

John in this letter uses extremes to highlight his points
• Darkness and light
• Truth or lies
• Love and hatred
2 halves
• 1st half of 1 John highlights the difference between those who live in the light of Jesus Christ and those who choose to live in the dark
• In the second half John focuses on community that is rooted in Christ centered love

• Truth or lies

1 John 3:11-15
v.11- sound familiar?
v.11- sound familiar?
Hatred as active and passive
Don’t miss v.13. Think back to the last few chapters
• Light and darkness don’t get along
• Truth and lies don’t mix well
v.14-15
Love is more than a feeling, it is a decision to actively prioritize the good of someone over your own needs, desires, and preferences
• John calling it like it is, black and white

1 John 3:16-18 - What is Love?
Love is selfless (emptied of self), love prioritizes the good of others
Love is sacrificial, love costs something
Love requires action- 1 John 3:18
The American church DOES NOT do this kind of love. Do we?

John isn’t setting the bar too high for you and me, this is attainable for the Christian through the work of the Holy Spirit

v.18-20
v.18-20
• YOU ARE SECURE/ASSURED
v.21-24- Now this is pretty wild
• Look forward to 1 John 5:14-15
• How do I know what God wants?
• v.24- The Holy Spirit as the seal of your salvation

Is love for the people of God a priority in your life?
• Or is your “life with Jesus” more consumeristic? About your preferences? About what you can “get out of it”?
• Do you think about one another? Do you pray for one another? Do you support one another? Do you sacrifice for one another?
God desires to produce an active, selfless, sacrificial love in you today
• Be known, grab food with someone in the church
• Be open, your life has meaning and power. Reject surface level relationship and press in!
