1 John 4:7-21
Discover the defining feature of a Christian: love. Pastor Colin shares a powerful message using the story of Nicholas Barclay to illustrate the importance of being recognizable through love. According to 1 John, the defining feature of God is agape love—devoted, sacrificial, and unconditional. Jesus, God's Son, also embodies this love in His life and teachings. As followers of Jesus, our love should be committed, bold, and consistent, reflecting God's love in our actions and words. This video delves into how this love originates in God, is shaped by Jesus, and should be demonstrated in our daily lives.
