| Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 1110A recorded on August 17, 1986 teaching from 1 John 4:7-21 – For Love is of God, Love One Another. Pastor Stevens explores the profound concept of love as originating from God and serving as the core principle of the Christian faith. Because God is love, it follows that anyone who truly loves has been born of God and knows Him. The most profound expression of God’s love was sending His Son, Jesus Christ, as an atoning sacrifice for the sins of humanity. Therefore, Christians are called to love one another as a testament to God’s love, understanding that this love is not a human capability but a gift from the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens emphasizes that true love is demonstrated through forgiveness, which casts out fear and enables believers to authentically love others as Christ has loved them. |
