7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God...

16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him...

19 We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:7, 16, 19)

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God... (1 John 4:7)

10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

Biblical Love is ACTION:
1. Love is caring for those in need. (Galatians 5:13)
2. Love is Forgiveness. (Colossians 3:13)
3. Speaking God’s truth with grace. (Ephesians 4:15)

New habit to practice:
A daily act of love - IGNORE YOUR SELFISHNESS.

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him...(1 John 4:16)

A daily reminder of God’s love - LISTEN FOR GOD'S VOICE.

We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

New Habit to Practice:
Lean on others and lift others up - FIND COMMUNITY.
