The Object of Our Affections

1 John 2:3,6,9-10,15-16

"We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands...Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did...

"Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble...

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world."

Summary:
  • Love God through obedience
  • Love your neighbor
  • Do NOT love this world

Prayer:
"Lord, turn my heart and the hearts of all your people to You and toward others. Turn our hearts away from our self-gratifying interests. Help us to see others as You see them and increase our ability to truly love."
