1 John 4:7,8 "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. ... God is love." What motivated God to send His Son into the world? His love. God so loved that he gave. * Israel 2019 http://basicgospel.net/israel Join us next year. * Is it the Holy Spirit's job before salvation to point out our sinfulness or is it to show that we're unbelievers? * Can you clarify John 18:27? "for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God"

Let us love one another. John helps us to understand how to make that happen. When we come to faith in Jesus, we receive a brand new heart. This is what makes loving one another a reality in our life. It all depends on who we belong to. If we belong to darkness, loving one another is impossible. If we belong to the light, then the natural response will be to love each other. We will see genuine fellowship among children of God and Christ's love will overflow to others.

These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh. * Peggy calls to share her heartbreak over her son who was murdered and asks for prayer to live in peace and joy in Christ. * Patricia shares her thankfulness concerning her sisters and asks for prayer for others. * Since the Bible is so important to our understanding God, how can I select the right translation?
