1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because he first loved us.
First, He loved us. With that love, He sent Jesus. And with that gift, we are called to focus on those around us who may or may not have heard, experienced or followed Jesus…….YET. The driving force for such living witness is the presence of the Spirit of Jesus of God! The key is 15…, “God lives in them and they in God.” The closer we become to the life and character of Jesus, the more we will have confidence -not in us – but in the love of the one who first loved us. Don’t look for Jesus around you, but maybe, possibly, in the mirror of your commitments, responses to hurt and your honest love for those around you.
