Love and Life Together in Him

As we grapple as a church with how to love one another, we have continued looking at the Word of God in relation to love. This last Sunday we focused on 1 John 4:7-21 which calls on God's church to "continue to love one another for love comes from God." The passage goes on to say that "All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God". This is an extraordinary statement and at the heart of this is the realisation that we have the power of another life living in us to help us to love one another. The challenge for us is to "abide in Christ" and to access the power of His life in the challenges of life including loving one another. In fact we can only obey the commandment to love one another if we abide in Jesus. The amazing fact of the gospel is that Jesus did not come only to forgive our sins but to offer us an exchanged life - where His life in us can enable obedience to do the things we can't do ourselves. This is the focus of the message at Boloco church on Sunday 15th. You can listen to it by clicking on the Listen tab and then Sunday Talks. We will date all talks from now on by the year, month and date so they can be found more easily. The talk also is called Love 3.
