Love is of God is a sermon teaching us about love. What is love and where does it come from? Love is of God and God is love. God is love incarnate and came in the flesh as Jesus. God is holy and righteous. God loves you and you are not an accident. You are unique in this world and have a purpose.
Love one another. Everyone that loves is born of God. God gives us the capacity to love another. Love is caring about someone more than self. The new birth gives us love. If you don’t have God in your heart then you don’t know love. The greatest form of love is to give your life for another. To know love is to know God. God loved us so much He gave His only son. God dwells in us and others see His love in us. As believers, we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. Our love for Him is a reflection of His love. If you can’t love your brother, how can you love God? We are commanded to love our brother as ourselves.
Love is of God sermon starts with verses from I John 4:7-21:
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
I John 5:1:
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
