Jesus loved others with the Gospel: Real love

1 John 4:9-11 | God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. 

  • What is “real love” according to 1st John 4? 

  • How did God love us through the Gospel? 

  • Who shared the Gospel with you? How was this an act of love? 

  • Since God loved us, we are supposed to love others. How can we love others with the Gospel, the same way we were loved by God and others?
