  1. Love ἀγάπη - Agape

  2. 1 John

  3. We Know 1 John 4:13-18

  4. 1 John 4:13-14 We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

  5. 1 John 4:15-16a If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

  6. 1 John 4:16b-17 God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.

  7. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

  8. I feel like American humorist Josh Billings who said, “I’d rather know a few things for certain than be sure of a lot of things that ain’t so.” Vance Havner

  17. George Reeves As Superman

  18. When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished, and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13

  19. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18

  23. What John is affirming is that both he and his readers have come to recognize and believe that God really does love them. Gary Derickson

  25. Are we reliable? Trustworthy? Consistent? Faithful?

  26. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. 2 Timothy 1:11

  32. Is the question of your salvation settled in your heart?

  33. Three groups of people • those who are secure but not sure • those who are "sure" but not secure • those who are secure and sure

  34. Many people are not sure or secure because they focus on themselves or trust themselves more than they trust Christ.

  35. I have an insurance policy Written in the blood of the Lamb, Sealed by the Cross of Jesus, Redeemable wherever I am!

  36. The company will never go bankrupt, It is bonded by God’s promise true; It will keep every word of its contract, Exactly what it says it will do.

  37. I don’t have to die to collect it, No premiums do I have to pay; All I do is to keep God’s promise And walk in His holy way.

  38. No collector will ever come calling, It was paid on Calvary’s tree; It insures me for living and dying And for all eternity.

  39. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

  41. Although “no one has ever seen God” at any time, we do “see” by faith that the cross lifted up in Palestine was for our sins and for our salvation. Glenn Barker
