Part 1: Walking in Love (1 of 3)
Series: Living the Life
Stuart Briscoe
1 John 3:10b-24
"Love" is a common theme both of Christian and secular thought and interest. Because of this, Christians need to be careful to understand the uniqueness of the love that characterizes the children of God: what it is, what it does, and what it says.
I. Love-What It Is. v. 16
A. The need to know what love is.
1. We need to know what it is because we may not have experienced it.
2. We need to be clear what it is because there is much confusion about it.
3. We need to understand the difference between human and divine love.

A. By acknowledging that Jesus is the Son of God. v. 15
