Bible: 1 John 3:11, 23; 4:7, 11, 12

God Is Love, So We Must Love One Another

3:11 For 1  this is the gospel 2  message 3  that you have heard from the beginning: that we should love one another, 4  3:23 Now 5  this is his commandment: 6  that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he gave 7  us the commandment.

4:7 Is it not true 1  that if you do what is right, you will be fine? 2  But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching 3  at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it.” 4 

4:11 So now, you are banished 5  from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 4:12 When you try to cultivate 6  the

ground it will no longer yield 7  its best 8  for you. You will be a homeless wanderer 9  on the earth.”
