00:03:28.219 --> 00:03:30.659
Now<00:03:28.479><c> there's</c><00:03:28.659><c> one</c><00:03:28.939><c> point</c><00:03:29.120><c> from</c><00:03:29.340><c> 1</c><00:03:29.580><c> John</c><00:03:29.759><c> 4</c><00:03:30.099><c> that</c><00:03:30.219><c> we</c><00:03:30.400><c> wanted</c><00:03:30.539><c> to</c>

00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.180
If<00:03:41.979><c> you</c><00:03:42.120><c> look</c><00:03:42.240><c> at</c><00:03:42.400><c> point</c><00:03:42.560><c> number</c><00:03:42.860><c> seven,</c><00:03:43.379><c> God's</c><00:03:43.680><c> love</c><00:03:43.780><c> is</c><00:03:44.000><c> the</c>

His<00:03:46.280><c> love</c><00:03:46.520><c> is</c><00:03:46.800><c> intended</c><00:03:47.080><c> to</c><00:03:47.259><c> be</c><00:03:47.419><c> our</c><00:03:47.740><c> model</c><00:03:47.979><c> and</c><00:03:48.300><c> motivation.</c>

00:03:49.699 --> 00:03:52.500
We've<00:03:49.939><c> given</c><00:03:50.039><c> you</c><00:03:50.280><c> several</c><00:03:50.580><c> examples</c><00:03:51.060><c> there</c><00:03:51.400><c> because</c><00:03:52.060><c> God</c>

00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:01.740
We<00:03:55.919><c> should</c><00:03:56.159><c> love</c><00:03:56.379><c> our</c><00:03:56.699><c> enemies</c><00:03:57.240><c> because</c><00:03:59.840><c> God</c><00:04:00.360><c> executes</c><00:04:01.039><c> judgment</c><00:04:01.500><c> for</c>

That's<00:04:04.479><c> how</c><00:04:04.719><c> we</c><00:04:05.060><c> should</c><00:04:05.219><c> love.</c>

00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.419
So<00:04:05.699><c> this</c><00:04:05.939><c> whole</c><00:04:06.620><c> purpose</c><00:04:07.219><c> of</c><00:04:07.520><c> establishing</c><00:04:07.979><c> an</c><00:04:08.259><c> understanding</c><00:04:08.819><c> of</c><00:04:09.039><c> what</c><00:04:09.219><c> the</c>

God<00:04:15.020><c> lives,</c><00:04:16.199><c> then</c><00:04:16.399><c> we</c><00:04:16.560><c> can</c>

00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:24.779
So<00:04:20.959><c> in</c><00:04:21.300><c> the</c><00:04:21.540><c> end,</c><00:04:21.920><c> it's</c><00:04:22.199><c> his</c><00:04:22.720><c> love</c><00:04:23.300><c> that</c><00:04:23.519><c> is</c><00:04:23.819><c> shining</c><00:04:24.180><c> through</c>

00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:25.939
our<00:04:25.120><c> life.</c>

00:04:26.379 --> 00:04:29.220
Our<00:04:26.720><c> love</c><00:04:26.939><c> becomes</c><00:04:27.360><c> a</c><00:04:27.660><c> reflection</c><00:04:28.040><c> of</c><00:04:28.399><c> his.</c>

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:37.399
Now,<00:04:30.459><c> 1</c><00:04:30.680><c> John</c><00:04:30.939><c> 4</c><00:04:31.459><c> reveals</c><00:04:31.939><c> what</c><00:04:32.120><c> we</c><00:04:32.399><c> think</c><00:04:32.600><c> is</c><00:04:33.019><c> one</c><00:04:33.459><c> of</c><00:04:33.720><c> the</c><00:04:34.879><c> tremendous</c><00:04:35.579><c> potentials</c><00:04:37.259><c> to</c>

00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:46.100
And<00:04:41.279><c> it</c><00:04:41.579><c> really</c><00:04:42.120><c> will</c><00:04:42.699><c> transform</c><00:04:43.600><c> our</c><00:04:44.079><c> lives</c><00:04:44.740><c> if</c><00:04:45.500><c> we</c><00:04:45.720><c> allow</c><00:04:45.920><c> it.</c>

00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:48.139
It's<00:04:46.399><c> not</c><00:04:46.660><c> done</c><00:04:46.959><c> mystically.</c>

00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.360
It's<00:04:48.759><c> not</c><00:04:49.040><c> done</c><00:04:49.279><c> magically.</c>

00:04:50.779 --> 00:04:54.959
It's<00:04:51.139><c> not</c><00:04:51.360><c> done</c><00:04:51.519><c> because</c><00:04:51.819><c> we</c><00:04:52.100><c> sit</c><00:04:52.300><c> in</c><00:04:52.560><c> a</c><00:04:52.600><c> room</c><00:04:52.759><c> and</c><00:04:53.000><c> think</c><00:04:53.519><c> about</c><00:04:53.839><c> it.</c>

00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.160
But<00:04:55.259><c> the</c><00:04:55.459><c> scripture</c><00:04:55.860><c> portrays</c><00:04:56.600><c> godly</c><00:04:57.100><c> love</c><00:04:57.339><c> as</c><00:04:57.779><c> the</c><00:04:58.199><c> power</c><00:04:58.699><c> to</c>

00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:02.779

Remember<00:44:57.460><c> the</c><00:44:57.719><c> good</c><00:44:58.059><c> shepherd</c><00:44:58.480><c> lays</c><00:44:58.820><c> down</c><00:44:59.139><c> his</c><00:44:59.440><c> life</c><00:44:59.679><c> for</c><00:44:59.860><c> the</c>

00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:03.960
sheep,<00:45:01.199><c> in</c><00:45:01.539><c> contrast</c><00:45:02.199><c> to</c><00:45:02.599><c> the</c><00:45:02.860><c> hireling</c>

00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:07.179
who<00:45:04.639><c> flees</c><00:45:05.239><c> at</c><00:45:05.519><c> the</c><00:45:05.699><c> first</c><00:45:05.880><c> sign</c><00:45:06.079><c> of</c><00:45:06.280><c> danger.</c>

00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:12.320
The<00:45:07.880><c> hireling</c><00:45:08.659><c> will</c><00:45:09.099><c> not</c><00:45:09.480><c> lay</c><00:45:09.780><c> down</c><00:45:10.159><c> his</c><00:45:10.500><c> life</c><00:45:10.940><c> for</c><00:45:11.360><c> the</c><00:45:11.539><c> sheep.</c>

00:45:12.820 --> 00:45:16.260
He<00:45:13.199><c> is</c><00:45:13.500><c> not</c><00:45:13.780><c> willing</c><00:45:14.099><c> to</c><00:45:14.320><c> put</c><00:45:14.519><c> the</c><00:45:14.719><c> needs</c><00:45:15.099><c> of</c><00:45:15.460><c> others</c><00:45:15.780><c> before</c>

00:45:16.260 --> 00:45:17.340
his<00:45:16.539><c> own.</c>

00:45:17.619 --> 00:45:21.119
So<00:45:17.800><c> the</c><00:45:18.039><c> three</c><00:45:18.360><c> simple</c><00:45:18.739><c> principles</c><00:45:19.460><c> that</c><00:45:19.940><c> emerge</c><00:45:20.519><c> in</c><00:45:20.860><c> terms</c>

00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:24.719
of<00:45:21.360><c> God's</c><00:45:21.840><c> definition</c><00:45:22.320><c> of</c><00:45:22.699><c> love</c><00:45:23.280><c> is</c><00:45:24.380><c> that</c>

00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:30.340
a<00:45:25.059><c> death</c><00:45:25.400><c> occurs,</c><00:45:27.500><c> it's</c><00:45:27.860><c> done</c><00:45:28.119><c> willingly,</c><00:45:29.360><c> so</c><00:45:29.719><c> that</c><00:45:30.039><c> others</c>

00:45:30.340 --> 00:45:31.599
can<00:45:30.619><c> benefit.</c>

00:45:32.059 --> 00:45:33.699
It's<00:45:32.420><c> not</c><00:45:32.619><c> complicated.</c>

00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:37.400
A<00:45:33.960><c> death</c><00:45:34.159><c> occurs,</c><00:45:35.219><c> it's</c><00:45:35.559><c> done</c><00:45:35.760><c> willingly,</c><00:45:36.559><c> so</c><00:45:36.820><c> others</c><00:45:37.139><c> can</c>

00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:40.880
benefit,<00:45:37.840><c> and</c><00:45:38.099><c> Jesus</c><00:45:38.480><c> says</c><00:45:38.920><c> God</c><00:45:39.400><c> loves</c><00:45:39.860><c> this.</c>

00:45:41.019 --> 00:45:44.420
It's<00:45:41.619><c> a</c><00:45:41.659><c> self</c><00:45:42.079><c>-sacrificing</c><00:45:42.920><c> death,</c><00:45:43.360><c> because</c><00:45:43.559><c> the</c><00:45:43.739><c> needs</c><00:45:44.039><c> of</c>

00:45:44.420 --> 00:45:47.539

00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:52.360
And<00:45:48.059><c> it's</c><00:45:48.320><c> a</c><00:45:48.559><c> willing</c><00:45:48.940><c> sacrifice</c><00:45:50.000><c> that</c><00:45:50.380><c> is</c><00:45:51.320><c> conveyed.</c>

00:45:53.059 --> 00:45:55.860
And<00:45:53.219><c> John</c><00:45:53.460><c> says,</c><00:45:53.940><c> in</c><00:45:54.139><c> recording</c><00:45:54.460><c> the</c><00:45:54.639><c> words</c><00:45:54.860><c> of</c><00:45:55.019><c> Christ,</c><00:45:55.699><c> that</c>

00:45:55.860 --> 00:45:58.920
this<00:45:56.280><c> is</c><00:45:56.659><c> godly</c><00:45:57.019><c> love,</c><00:45:57.480><c> because</c><00:45:57.800><c> this</c><00:45:58.300><c> is</c><00:45:58.679><c> how</c>

00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:01.199
God<00:45:59.300><c> defines</c><00:46:00.039><c> love.</c>

00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:04.900
A<00:46:01.679><c> death</c><00:46:01.880><c> occurs,</c><00:46:02.500><c> it's</c><00:46:02.800><c> done</c><00:46:03.039><c> willingly,</c><00:46:03.980><c> and</c><00:46:04.260><c> others</c><00:46:04.480><c> benefit.</c>

00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.760
The<00:46:05.380><c> temptation</c><00:46:06.320><c> related</c><00:46:06.980><c> to</c><00:46:07.219><c> godly</c><00:46:07.559><c> love</c><00:46:07.719><c> is</c><00:46:07.940><c> what?</c>

00:46:09.300 --> 00:46:13.519
I'm<00:46:09.860><c> not</c><00:46:10.099><c> going</c><00:46:10.300><c> to</c><00:46:10.340><c> die,</c><00:46:11.780><c> I'm</c><00:46:11.900><c> not</c><00:46:12.179><c> going</c><00:46:12.340><c> to</c><00:46:12.420><c> do</c><00:46:12.519><c> it</c><00:46:12.719><c> willingly,</c><00:46:13.260><c> and</c><00:46:13.400><c> I</c>

00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:13.980
don't<00:46:13.800><c> care.</c>

00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:15.480
Others<00:46:14.239><c> don't</c><00:46:14.480><c> benefit.</c>

00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:17.280
I'm<00:46:16.019><c> out</c><00:46:16.159><c> of</c><00:46:16.280><c> here.</c>

00:46:18.659 --> 00:46:21.920
So<00:46:18.920><c> that's</c><00:46:19.139><c> what</c><00:46:19.539><c> the</c><00:46:19.800><c> temptation</c><00:46:20.340><c> looks</c><00:46:20.699><c> like</c><00:46:21.019><c> with</c><00:46:21.340><c> respect</c>

to<00:46:22.239><c> godly</c><00:46:22.639><c> love</c><00:46:22.940><c> when</c><00:46:23.099><c> it's</c><00:46:23.440><c> presented</c>

00:46:23.940 --> 00:46:25.519

00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:30.300
And<00:46:26.199><c> in</c><00:46:26.440><c> this,</c><00:46:26.679><c> he</c><00:46:26.860><c> is</c><00:46:27.320><c> contrasting</c><00:46:27.900><c> the</c><00:46:28.139><c> truth</c><00:46:28.480><c> with</c><00:46:29.500><c> the</c><00:46:29.820><c> religion</c><00:46:30.079><c> of</c>

00:46:30.300 --> 00:46:31.800
the<00:46:30.460><c> Pharisees</c><00:46:31.079><c> and</c><00:46:31.199><c> the</c><00:46:31.360><c> Sadducees</c>

00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:32.380
of<00:46:31.940><c> his</c><00:46:32.179><c> day.</c>

00:46:32.500 --> 00:46:35.480
They<00:46:32.760><c> did</c><00:46:33.039><c> not</c><00:46:33.260><c> teach</c><00:46:34.059><c> godly</c><00:46:34.639><c> love.</c>

00:46:36.059 --> 00:46:38.980
Their<00:46:36.539><c> religion</c><00:46:36.980><c> did</c><00:46:37.219><c> not</c><00:46:37.440><c> encourage</c><00:46:37.920><c> anyone</c><00:46:38.420><c> to</c><00:46:38.639><c> lay</c><00:46:38.800><c> down</c>

00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:44.079
Their<00:46:41.199><c> religion</c><00:46:41.559><c> taught</c><00:46:41.800><c> people</c><00:46:42.159><c> to</c><00:46:42.500><c> flee</c><00:46:42.840><c> at</c><00:46:43.119><c> the</c><00:46:43.340><c> sign</c><00:46:43.460><c> of</c><00:46:43.679><c> danger.</c>

00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:46.340
Put<00:46:44.760><c> my</c><00:46:45.039><c> life</c><00:46:45.260><c> at</c><00:46:45.519><c> risk</c><00:46:45.739><c> for</c><00:46:45.960><c> others?</c>

00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:48.239
No,<00:46:46.659><c> that</c><00:46:46.780><c> was</c><00:46:46.980><c> not</c><00:46:47.179><c> their</c><00:46:47.320><c> religion.</c>

00:46:49.340 --> 00:46:51.579
But<00:46:49.619><c> that</c><00:46:49.860><c> was</c><00:46:50.119><c> the</c><00:46:50.360><c> truth</c><00:46:50.659><c> that's</c><00:46:50.960><c> taught</c><00:46:51.119><c> by</c><00:46:51.320><c> our</c><00:46:51.440><c> Lord</c>

00:46:51.579 --> 00:46:52.840
Jesus<00:46:51.880><c> Christ.</c>

00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:57.880
Now,<00:46:53.619><c> it's</c><00:46:54.000><c> quite</c><00:46:54.320><c> easy</c><00:46:54.940><c> to</c><00:46:55.559><c> sit</c><00:46:55.760><c> here</c><00:46:56.079><c> and</c><00:46:56.420><c> see</c><00:46:56.900><c> how</c><00:46:57.480><c> all</c><00:46:57.780><c> of</c>

00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:10.119
This<00:47:06.340><c> is</c><00:47:06.559><c> what</c><00:47:06.920><c> John</c><00:47:07.239><c> 15,</c><00:47:07.659><c> 13</c><00:47:08.079><c> says,</c><00:47:08.519><c> greater</c><00:47:08.739><c> love</c><00:47:08.920><c> has</c><00:47:09.139><c> no</c><00:47:09.300><c> man</c><00:47:09.480><c> than</c><00:47:09.619><c> this,</c><00:47:09.960><c> and</c><00:47:10.019><c> a</c>

00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:15.719
So<00:47:11.679><c> we</c><00:47:11.739><c> now</c><00:47:11.940><c> can</c><00:47:12.139><c> understand</c><00:47:12.539><c> and</c><00:47:12.800><c> appreciate</c><00:47:13.360><c> the</c><00:47:13.900><c> great</c><00:47:14.179><c> love</c><00:47:14.760><c> that</c><00:47:15.139><c> Christ</c><00:47:15.420><c> had</c>

00:47:19.300 --> 00:47:25.340
And<00:47:19.719><c> then</c><00:47:19.800><c> we</c><00:47:19.960><c> come</c><00:47:20.099><c> to</c><00:47:20.300><c> 1</c><00:47:20.480><c> John</c><00:47:20.719><c> 3,</c><00:47:21.699><c> and</c><00:47:21.920><c> we</c><00:47:22.159><c> find</c><00:47:22.380><c> out</c><00:47:22.639><c> the</c><00:47:22.900><c> sobering</c><00:47:23.460><c> point</c><00:47:24.079><c> is</c>
