Introduction
Look with me at how last week’s sermon ended;
You might recall that last week we discussed briefly how that almost seemed like a subject change, yet this week, it is explained.
The message from last week could be summed up with this statement;
The distinguishing mark of the genuine believer is love for God and one another.
Last week’s emphasis was on loving God as seen through faithful living.
This week’s message explains what love for one another is.
so, in light of vs. 10...
Exposition 1
Heard from the beginning?
John 13:34, Jesus commands to love one another
hearkens back to OT command to love neighbors
All or brothers?
Different yet similar
I. Christians must love one another (11-12)
We will adress what this looks like in our third point but for now let’s make 2 observations from the text...
Cain’s murder of Abel is held up as an example of the opposite of this love.
Able was seen as righteous yet his righteousness spurred hatred.
Principle of the world: Those who are wicked will hate God’s people
This principle makes it especially important that we “stick together”
EX.
Blood is thicker than water
Exposition 2
II.
Expect hate (opposition) from those who are not believers (13-15)
III.
If a Christian fails to love, he is no Christian (13-15)
Exposition 3
What does it mean to love one another?
IV.
Loving one another involves personal sacrifice (16-18)
