October 17, 2021 by Brad Murphy

This sermon is part 7 of 12 in the Fall Back to Jesus

DIGITAL BULLETIN 17 October 2021

Week 7 – Fall Back to Jesus

“Fall Back to Jesus is a sermon series on 1 John that will encourage you to turn from the powers and impulses of culture and sin to the power of Jesus Christ the true God and eternal life.”

In this message, you will learn four levels of human relationship and how abiding in Christ causes you to live in only one – compassionate love.

WORSHIP BY GIVING

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

1 John 5:20 (ESV)

Four Levels of Relationship

Scripture: 1 John 3:11-24, Matthew 7:15-20

For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?

1 John 3:11-17 (ESV)
  1. Murder (1 John 3.11-12, John 8:44, Genesis 4:1-16, Hebrews 11:4)
  2. Hate (1 John 3.13-15, Matthew 5:21)
  3. Indifference (1 John 3.16-17, John 3:16)
  4. Christian Love (1 John 3.18-24, James 2:15-16)*

*Outline from, Wiersbe, Warren W. The Bible Exposition Commentary. Vol. 2. Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1996. Print.

 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

1 John 3:18-24 (ESV)
