HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 1 John 4:13-17
For most, few things in Scripture are more difficult to explain than the Trinity. Likewise for many, few things can be more unnerving than the unknown aspects of life after death. Intimacy with God through the Holy Spirit is the key to both walking & talking with confidence here & now as well as viewing one’s future life after this physical world with confidence and even excitement.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 1 John 4:18-21
Love, hate, and fear… are there three more powerful words in the English language? So much emotion and so many memories are brought to the surface with each of these; especially when one is added to the previous. God so eloquently places these in the same challenging passage of Scripture so that one may be more plainly seen next to the other two. Love is the purpose, focus, and desire for all who claim to and seek to follow God and go after that which we calls them to.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would allow you to experience the Holy Spirit in a more significant way this week as you walk with him.
