The Christian is called to love others as Christ loves us, and that high calling may seem as though it is not attainable.... but it is... through the strength of God. Today on Study The Word, pastor Thom Keller urges us to raise the bar of our love for one another. This is just part of his ongoing survey of First John.

Today on Study The Word, we’ll observe one of the many characteristics of a genuine Christian. When a loving God takes residence in an individual, the person is overwhelmed with love, and in turn he or she will express love to those around them. Love is a mark of a believer in Christ, and Thom Keller will show us why.

Is it difficult to repent of your sins? Pride is always a factor, but God has made it easy to come clean and receive forgiveness. He loves us so much that He sent His son to die for our sins so that we wouldn’t have to. With that great truth in mind, why wouldn’t we be willing to simply repent and be forgiven.... and to forgive others?

We think nothing of giving our attention to the upkeep of our vehicle. Changing the oil every three to five thousand miles, changing the spark plugs, giving it an occasional tune-up, putting on new tires when the tread wears thin. But just as our cars need repair, so too do our very own lives. Life repairs will be our topic on Study The Word. Forgiveness is often a neglected topic, but when we go through scripture verse by verse like we do here at Study The Word it is unavoidable. We rest our attention today on First John chapter two.

There are ministry opportunities all around us, from vacant roles in the children’s ministry at church, to our neighbor who is hurting, not to mention the great needs overseas. And if you’re a Christian, I hope it’s your desire to be involved in the ministry! But the question we bring before you today on Study the Word is how can we be effective in the ministry? We’ll look at the apostle Paul’s approach to help us get there.

Happiness is a fleeting thing for many people, and perhaps the reason is because they look for temporary things to make them happy. Everlasting happiness and joy is found in Jesus Christ. That’s John’s message in the book of First John. Our assurance in our salvation through Christ should be the driving force in our lives. Is that true of you?

Today pastor Thom continues his series in First John. Now if you were to be asked what kind of life you’d like to lead, would you answer “Just Like Jesus”? Or would it be Michael Jordan or Peyton Manning or someone like that? Turth is our role model should be Jesus Christ.
