This week, we will be looked at 1 John 4:7-12. John writes to a church about the one thing that Christians are to be known for: Love. As Christians, we are called by Christ to love one another. John’s original audience had just gone through a possible church split causing some to leave the church. When we see people fall away from Christ or leave the church in an unchristian way, it not only hurts, but it can cause us to wonder: should we leave too? Am I in the wrong place? Thankfully, John’s words in 1 John 4:7-12 remind us that our love for one another is not dependent upon our personal like or affinity but on the cross of Christ—the greatest display of love the world has ever seen.
