Bible Study
Questions:
1) Share one significant/special situation you shared with a brother or sister. How did that impact your relationship with them?
2) Name one way someone has sacrificed for you because they loved you.
Read 1 John 3:11-18 & 4:7-11
3) What is John trying to tell us? Why is it so important?
4) What is the evidence of being alive in Christ? What demonstrates that we have not been made alive?
5) How is love defined for us? How do we know what it means to love?
6) To what extent are we to love each other?
7) What happens when we truly love each other?
8) Read John 13:34-35. How does our love for each other impact God? How does it impact the world?
9) John says that “we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.” What might this look like in our lives today? How can you demonstrate this kind of love in your life?
10) What is keeping you from loving a brother or sister in Christ? What do you need to do in order for God’s love to be made complete in you?
11) To whom do you need to demonstrate your love (not only with words but) “with action and in truth”? How do you plan on doing this?
12) Read John 15:12 & 17. Live appropriately.
