It’s NOT Always EASY To Love! But it’s necessary. (1 John 4:7-21)

from Let's Talk Scripture · host Eric Lee

Is it truly possible to love the unlovable? In our latest teaching series at Let’s Talk Scripture, we dive deep into one of the most convicting and essential passages in the New Testament.This study on 1 John 4:7-21 moves beyond surface-level definitions of “love” and examines it as the primary evidence of a true relationship with God. If you are looking for biblical clarity on salvation, the nature of God, and how to handle difficult relationships within the church, this resource is for you.Understanding the Litmus Test of FaithIn this lesson, we explore the “Apostolic Witness” as the final standard for truth. We address the hard reality that while some people are difficult or “light switches” in their consistency, the command to love remains absolute.Key themes explored in this teaching include:The Ontology of God: Understanding that “God is love” refers to His very essence and nature.The Doctrine of Propitiation: How Jesus satisfied the righteous wrath of God to prove His love for us.Divine Enablement: Why the Holy Spirit is the only way we can love those who are naturally unlovable.Assurance in Judgment: How perfected love removes the fear of punishment and gives us confidence before the throne of Christ.Complete Your Resource LibraryTo help you study or teach this material effectively, we have released a Complete Digital Resource Pack.
