PASTOR DAVE RING
LOS ALAMOS 1ST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

We are nearing the end of a series of sermon "teaching" messages on the Biblical letter I John.

Brief Review

1. Who John was, what he wrote, his penchant for "L" words
_______________________________________________________

2. I John 1 - Walk in the light; let Jesus be your righteousness
_______________________________________________________

3. I John 2 - Obey God and love humanity, even in the face of opposition and persecution, for the long term _______________________________________________________

4. I John 3 - God loves us enough to call us children. The evidence of our close relation to God is our similar close relation to our fellow humans.

I John 4

Verses 1-6 "Testing spirits" - Acknowledging that God is truly in Jesus and Jesus is in God

Verses 7-12 Love, first from God, then from us to others

Verses 13-16 More about love, God's and ours

Verses 17-18 Love's fear-removing property

Verses 19-21 Still more about love; repetitious, but a subject worthy of repeating
