To know true love, we must know God
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
7 Amados, amémonos unos a otros; porque el amor es de Dios. Todo aquel que ama, es nacido de Dios, y conoce a Dios.
8 El que no ama, no ha conocido a Dios; porque Dios es amor.
BEGINNING:
We live in a world that has distorted what love is - because the devil wants to distort how we see God.
We do not have the right or freedom to redefine something God has already defined.
If you want to know what love is, you need a relationship with God
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
16 Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna.
17 Porque no envió Dios a su Hijo al mundo para condenar al mundo, sino para que el mundo sea salvo por él.
18 El que en él cree, no es condenado; pero el que no cree, ya ha sido condenado, porque no ha creído en el nombre del unigénito Hijo de Dios.
This month, we must begin with the love of God because He loved us and defined what love is for us.
It is an attribute of who He is.
Everything we love, is either in line with His love, or it is not truly love.
God loved us so much, He sent His Son to save us from the condemnation we are already in.
That love allows us to then love each other. 1 John 4: 7 says we are to love each other.
If you are a Christian, if you have given your life to Jesus, you are commanded to love your brothers and sisters in the family of God.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
34 Un mandamiento nuevo os doy: Que os améis unos a otros; como yo os he amado, que también os améis unos a otros.
35 En esto conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si tuviereis amor los unos con los otros.
While Jesus was meeting with the disciples in the upper room, just before He was arrested in the garden, He commanded them to love each other. This command is for you and me also.
The world will know that you belong to Jesus - if you love your brothers and sisters in Christ
Sometimes loving Christians is the hardest thing we can do, because we expect Christians to behave a certain way, and we expect each other to be the embodiment of Jesus.
But the fact is, Christians (if they are real), are in a constant state of growth.
Sometimes we look more like Jesus, other times we let our sinful nature take over.
We need to have grace for each other, and forgive each other.
Love God - Ama a Dios
Love your Brothers and Sisters - Ama a tus hermanos
Love Others - Amar a los demás
