Believing the Love of God For Us 1 John 4:16-19 Dr. Grant Hodges Read verse 16 – what does it mean to "believe the love which God has for us"? Where does the second half of verse 16 insist that the love of God resides? So can we love as we ought? What do we call it when we fail to "believe the love which God has for us"? How great is the love in us? Compare it to Peyton Manning building the children's Pavilion at St. Vincent's. What do you expect are the results when we digest the fact of God's love abiding in us as believers? List them I. God’s Love Should Give Us Confidence For Judgment Day and For Right Now verse 17 Read verse 17. Discuss the comparative religion viewpoint that the Judgment Day and Heaven are simply tools to manipulate the common people. How does the Judgment Day apply to believers? (I Corinthians 3:12-16; II Corinthians 5:9-10) How is it to motivate us? How does freedom from fear work on our ability to love? II. God's Love Sets Us Free to Serve verse 18 List of things from which God's love sets us free as we love others: When it is time to love, what place does self-doubt have?
