In this message from our series “By This We Know”, we explore 1 John 4 and uncover a simple yet life-changing truth:

We love because He first loved us.

What is love?

Is it a feeling? A moment? An emotion?

According to Scripture, real love is not defined by what we feel—but by what Jesus did.

God’s love (AGAPE) is:

Selfless

Sacrificial

Unconditional

Demonstrated through action

Through powerful teaching and a moving testimony, this message challenges us to move beyond words and live out love in real, tangible ways.

Key Takeaways:

God’s love is shown, not just felt

We can love because we are already loved

Love is the evidence of knowing God

We are called to love—even when it’s hard

Jesus made the first move… and so should we

Weekly Challenge:

Find one person each day this week and make the first move to show love—through kindness, forgiveness, encouragement, or service.

Because when we love others… we reflect the heart of God.
