Sermon 12/21/25: Love- Friday's Devotional

Living in Love
Reading: John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:16-19

"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." This is the culmination of everything—living in love means living in God's presence. Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, and Pentecost all flow from one source: God's love. From Genesis to Revelation, this thread runs through every page. The gospel story didn't begin in Bethlehem; it began in God's heart before time. When humanity fell, God's love designed the rescue plan. Today, you are living in that love story. His perfect love casts out fear. You don't have to earn it or maintain it—just receive it and reflect it. As you go forward, remember: the one present you cannot live without is Jesus, the ultimate expression of God's love for you.
