from John 3:16 and his subject
was Love" He said:
The doctrine Of heavenly
love II the undying expression OF
Gods power 10 the world. God 80
loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son that whosOever
believe In Him should not perish
but have everlasting life.
Il John. 3-i3-24: The dominant
note Of this epistle Is love. Love
In Of God. God IL love. He that
abides in love abides In God. And
everyone that loves In begotten
Of God. Everyone that loves
knows God.
He that loves not knows not
God. He that loves not Abides In
death. whatsoever hates his
brother 10 a murderer. II q man
say love God and hates his
brother. he Is a liar.
We know that we have passed
from death unto life because we
love the brethren. He that loves
not his brother whom he has seen.
how can he love God whom he has
not seen.
"PauIs letter 10 / Cor. 18th
Chapter: This Is one OF the best
loved chapter in the Bible. The
prominent teaching OF Christian
ity: the miraculous manifestation
Of Gods power In love The most
powerful force in the universe,
the essence Of Gods nature.
We may all possess II. The
Christian Church Of today needs
II 10 help fight against sin and
worldlineRs. Love Is the most ef-
feCtive weapon. irresistible. indy
ing and eternal.
These are the words OF Paul 10
tho Church. Though I speak with
the tongues Of men and Of angels
and have not love, I am become
as sounding brass or a tinklng
cymbal, And though I have the
gift OF prophecy and understand
all mysteries And all knowledge
and though have all faith 80
that I coud remove mountains,
and have not love, I am nothing
And though ! bestow all my
goods to feed the poor and
though ! give my body to be
burned and have not love, II pro-
fiteth me nothing. Love suffer
eth long and In kind, love envieth
not. Love vaunteth not itself. is
not puffed up. Doth not behave
itself unseemingly, Seeketh not
her own, Is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil.
Love rejoiceth not in iniquity.
but reioiCeth in the truth. Love
beareth all things, hOpeth all
things. Love never faileth. but
where there be prophecies they
shall fail Whether there be ton
CUES they shall cease. whether
there be knowledge, II shall van
ish away
The doctrine OF heavenly love
Is the undying expression OF Gods
power TO the world God 80 loved
the world that he gave his only
begotten son that whosoever be
lieved In Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life,
IAN Christians ought TO go TO
church each Sunday morning Co
ing 10 church Is not all there
Is to being a Christian. But II Is
an essential part of n Christians
profession. And II is Gods method
of building Christ into the lives Of
the people. II the churches go
down. then the standards OF life
go down. The church IL a witness
bearing institution to Christ. To
keep Him before the minds Of
men. The mission Of the church Is
to keep the people informed and
reminded Of Christ Christ Him
self Is the Transforming power in
mems lives.
