The Backbone of Healthy Church and Abundant Life
The Backbone of Healthy Church and Abundant Life
The Importance of Love Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. 1 John 2: 6 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. 1 John 3: 16 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4: 12
