Title: How You Can Be A Change Agent?
Text:
1 John 3:10-15 (ESV)
10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
Observation:
Are you a lover or a murderer? Think about this passage.
1 John 3:14-15 (ESV)
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
One of the tests that you have eternal life is that you love the brothers, which means fellow believers; your brothers and sisters in Christ.
We cannot avoid this central message of the gospel.
John 13:35 (ESV)
By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
Be love to someone today. Do something that shows them that you are a child of God, and that you love them with the love of the Lord. You have the power within to change others; do it for the glory of God, and a witness to the world.
Romans 5:5 (NLT)
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Prayer:
Father God, I am so thankful that You have poured out Your love into the hearts of Your dear children. Father, I pray that we will be willing to be love to fellow believers as a demonstration to a watching world that we are children of God. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
John 13:35 (ESV)
By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
