1 John 4:12
“No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us and His love is perfected in us.”
“John does not say that we cannot love God except through loving our brethren. That is not his argument. Nor does he say that we can only love God by means of loving our brethren. Rather, he tells us that we are to love God – that we CAN love Him and that we SHOULD love Him.
Take again our Lord’s exposition of the great commandment: ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The second is like unto it – ‘thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself (Matt 22:37-39).’ So we must be careful always not to put the second before the first. We must never put the love of our neighbor before the love of God Himself.”
Current Study:
Ecclesiastes: a Sermon Series by R.W. Glenn
Our new home in Minnesota led us to our new church, Redeemer Bible Church, pastored by Bob Glenn. We began attending a few messages after Pastor Bob began a study of Ecclesiastes. I compile my notes on each sermon to study how the New Testament answers the questions and difficulties of life that are adressed in Ecclesiastes.
