1 John 3:11-16 (view passage online)
Pastor John Nuce
John points believers back to the original commandment to love one another and uses Cain and Abel to contrast hatred with love. The world’s hatred toward believers should surprise no one. True love demands action and truth rather than mere words, requiring us to lay down our lives for the brethren just as Christ laid down His life for us.
