What does real love look like?

In 1 John 3, we are given two powerful examples: Cain, whose self-love led to death, and Jesus, whose sacrificial love brings life.

This message explores what it means to love one another not merely “in word or talk,” but “in deed and truth.” Love is not just a feeling, a rule, or a religious idea. Love is the evidence that God’s life is at work in us.

In this sermon, we look at:

• Why Cain is a warning about self-focused love

• How sin curves us inward and deforms us

• Why Jesus’ death defines true love

• What it means to lay down our lives for others

• How God reassures us when our hearts condemn us

• Why abiding in Christ leads to action

Jesus loved us by laying down His life. Now, by His Spirit, we are invited to become people who love with that same sacrificial grace.
