Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Gary Bibles open to First, John chapter 4 is where we're going to be.

We're going to talk about love this morning but the most important kind of love and that is God's love without God's love.

What hope or what help would we have without God's love?

How would we truly know how to love?

People have a lot of questions of about God what is he like?

And the best way to answer those is to look at Jesus.

Jesus said in John chapter 14, that if you knew me you knew you would know my father.

If you knew my father you would know me.

I and my father are one.

The guy that I wished for you to know the guy that I want everyone to know, is the guy that Jesus revealed the god.

This God is the father.

He is good.

He is generous.

He is trustworthy.

He is just Everything that he does is for your benefit in my benefit.

It's not about him.

Yes, he does.

Want us to worship him.

He wants us to worship him because of what that where's your brings to us?

Not what it brings to him.

He created the whole universe, he created everything that we see around us.

He is God.

And therefore, because of that, he put man on this Earth to to go forth to do the work that he wanted them to do.

Any had a plan?

Do you have plans to?

Hey, if you do it this way, you will be blessed.

He didn't throw that other site on, there's no.

But if you do it your own way you're not going to be blessed because that's what comes from, not following through, on the things of God.

But this morning, I want us to understand that God is love Who said that, will we find that John said that throughout the Bible?

Many times and 1st John 2nd, John 3rd, John.

He, he mentions the love of God.

Assassin.

John 1st, John 4:7 through verse 8. Say beloved let us love one.

Another for love is of God and everything.

Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

He who does not love, does not know.

God for God is love.

Let's pray this morning for this morning.

As we open your word, I ask that you open our hearts and our minds, so that what you have for us individual?

That was you have for us collectively, that's always my prayer.

Every week is not about those around us, is good for them to hear that.

It's father, what do you have for me?

But it's also.

What do you have for all of us?

As we walk out of here, this morning as a body of Christ to send forth your love into this world, help us to do it, as you would have is to not as we think is best in our own lives.

Father, you know, they need, you know, the burdens, you know, the hearts of each and every one here today, we ask that you supply.

As you see, fit the blessings that come from.

You cannot be numbered in cannot be outdone for you care, for your children, and you want to bless us with the greatest blessings of all.

And you've done that.

As we will see this morning and sending your son to a lost and Dying World guide us and directors in your path.

Help us to put aside the busyness of our days, the busyness of Our Lives, the focus this morning on your love in Jesus name.

We pray.

Amen.

What do you think of that statement?

God is love.

What comes to your mind?

Is quite a remarkable statement, isn't it?

God is love.

God's love is not the same as the world's love.

God's love is greater God's.

Love is higher.

God's love is not about himself.

God's love is about others.

The world's love for the most part is about herself.

You know, when we might say that I I love this person.

I've I love this girl, I love this guy.

We we, we had those moments that we say that we have fallen in love, but the whole purpose for most of that is about ourselves, it's a need that we have.

And yes, you and I need God's love, but his love is what has provoked produced in us and help us produce and others.

The things that help this world going the right direction.

God's love is remarkable and John is saying that in, In this passage, you saying that for God's love is not a passing statement.

It is who God is.

Is what he's all about.

It's not saying God loves.

You saying God is love that agape.

Love that covers all things that we in this world, don't really understand that true sense of law.

That, that high ability of love, we have a difficult time with understanding the, the total sense of that.

But we see what God has done for us and sending his son and taking care of the needs.

We, we see it to a point sometimes that we we forget the other aspect of that, a yes God is love, but he also is a god of wrath on the other side for those who reject him, and that's not something that he's looking down a bossy, let me destroy somebody, that's not his desire but when sin entered into the world, when sending his into our life, there is something that that takes place that removes us Gets between us and God and it's not God.

Moving from us, it's awesome.

Moving away from God, because we have allowed those things to enter in.

God is love.

It's his essential nature.

God cannot be unloving because he is loved.

John applies it to us.

He applies it to you and me because God is love.

Then we're to love one another and whoever does not love scripture tells us does not know God.

I told her this morning before we even be began to get into The Mists of all of this.

Ask yourself this question in your own heart in your own life.

Is there somebody in my life that I have a hard time loving Is there somebody in my life that I have a hard time of it?

If you can come up with that name, then you need to strive to show God's love to them even more to that individual because if you cannot love them, the way that you should.

That's God.

Would have you tow it?

Hinders your love for others.

The only way we could truly love one.

Another is my putting God first by putting God in that right place.

There's a story that I heard about a pastor, who one day the phone ring in his office and he answered it and is the young girl on the other end saying for the past year and she didn't go to that church.

Had been to another church attending and she wanted to know if she could come and talk to the pastor.

Is it may I come to your church and and talk with you?

So she did.

So this young girl goes to the church and talks with the pastor You still let me tell you, let me tell you my answer or my story.
