Love Is The Key
MAIN MESSAGE: "LOVE IS THE KEY"
SERIES: LAST LETTERS: JOHN, JUDE & JESUS
READ:
1 John 5:1-12
Faith in the Son of God
1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too. 2 We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments. 3 Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.
(ESV: For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments.;
NKJV: For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
NIV: In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,)
4 For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. 5 And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
6 And Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross—not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony. 7 So we have these three witnesses— 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and all three agree. 9 Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son. 10 All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don’t believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don’t believe what God has testified about his Son.
11 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.
IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU WILL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS
John 14:15,21
15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
21 “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
OBEY THE GOSPEL:
Romans 10:16 (NKJV)
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord , who has believed our report?”
II Thessalonians 1:8 (NKJV)
in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 5:9 (NKJV)
And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,
I Peter 4:17 (NKJV)
For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK
Revelation 3:20-21 - 20 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.'
