That You May Know: The Motivation, Model, and Mimicking of Love: (1 John 4:7-12)
Sermon Idea: In John’s third application of the Social Test, he gives his most detailed
exposition about the presence of love for the brethren. Building off of his first two
treatments of this vital subject, the author gives us three reasons why loving the brethren
is the Litmus Test of regeneration. John describes love’s motivation, love’s model, and
love’s mimicking. This understanding of love becomes the foundation of any healthy
church, and the course by which all true children of God are to both mark and measure
their progress.
