The Main Topic

Read 1 John 4:7-5:3.
What's the main topic of this section?
If you don't mind marking your Bible, mark that word with a colored pencil or marker. Underline or circle it each time it occurs.
List everything that this section teaches you about this topic. When I wrote my list, it took up a whole typewritten page, so it's going to be a long list.
Use your list to answer these questions:
  • Who is love?
  • What don't you find in perfect love?
  • How did God demonstrate His love for us?
  • What shows that we love God?
  • What do we learn about perfect love?
  • If you love God, whom should you also love?
  • Why should we love one another?
  • What do we know about those who love one another (their brothers)?
  • What happens when we love one another?
  • What do we know about those who don't love one another (their brothers)?

Write a three or four sentence paragraph that would sum up what John teaches us about love in this section.

How does knowing these things impact your life?
