What Kind Of Love

 John 1:1-4
What Was Heard, Seen, and Touched
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon,
and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--
2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness,
and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father
and was manifested to us--
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you,
that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is
with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.

1 John 2:24-29
Let Truth Abide in You
24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning.
If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the
Son and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.
27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you,
and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing
teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie,
and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

The Children of God
28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears,
we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone
who practices righteousness is born of Him.

1 John 3:1-3 & 16 & 23-24
The Command to Love
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us,
that we should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been
revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed,
we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

​His Life For Us
16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.

His Commandment
23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of
His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error
24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him.
And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

Isaiah 1:18
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.​
