Over the last few weeks we have been taking tests with 1 John to see if we are “Verified” as true foot step followers of Christ...His Disciples. What have you taken away from these tests so far?
Today we are taking the “Love Test”. Do you feel like you are an easy Christian to love?
Into the Bible:
Instructions: The purpose of these questions is to draw group members into the Bible to discover truth from passages that were not the primary text for the weekend message.
Read John 15: 12-17
What type of “love” is John referring to here?
Jesus said that the world around us would know His people because they would display real love among themselves. How do you think we are doing as a church? How about as individuals?
We all fall short of the ideal, but what is Christian Love among the members of the Church Body supposed to look like?
Application:
Instructions: The purpose of these questions is to apply the main points from the weekend message.
Why is it so hard sometimes to exercise Christian Love?
What challenges keep you from doing more, and what can you do about that?
What in your life could you dial back or eliminate, making more room, to be able to give & receive more of HIS Love?
