Authentic Love
Text: I John 3:10-24, 4:7-21, 5:1-3, 13
Love God completely; Love others compassionately; Love yourself correctly.
Love is a good test of authentic Christianity.
Love is the result of being in Christ, and Him living in us.
Love changes our hearts, home, and habits.
Love causes us to have: Christian actions, Christian ambitions, Christian attitudes, and Christian affections.
Love wins real friends. Love keeps real friends.
Where love resides, God abides
