1 John 4:12-13 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

-------------------------

12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. 13  By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

1 John 4:10-11 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

---------------------

10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 

1 John 4:8-9 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

--------------------------

8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 

1 John 4:6-7 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

---------------------------

6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

1 John 4:4-5 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

----------------------

4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. 

1 John 4:1-3 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

----------------------------

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

1 John 3:23-24 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

----------------------

23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

1 John 3:21-22 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

-----------------------

21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

1 John 3:19-20 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

-----------------------

19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

1 John 3:16-17 // Jesus + Coffee with Pastor Tom

------------------------

16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?
