Full Joy: 1 John #25 Love & Hate 1 John 4.19 - 5.1 Compiled and Presented by: Dave Stewart 25 August, 2013 www.churchofchristmiranda.com Synopsis: Its easy to think we love God, but the reality of that love is seen in how we treat our brethren. Three of Jesus parables remind us that we must be compassionate, merciful, and forgiving. We need to carefully consider whether we love or hate our brother based on how we treat them. Let all that you do be done with love.
