Tuesday, Sept 16- 1 John 4:7-12

-today i went to the corec to play. i waited at a few courts for a game, but never got one. sad.

7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
-Suppose it would be appropriate for friends that are dear to love one another. The reason we do this is love comes from God because God is love. Love is another sign that we are born again and that we know God. It's weird cause when you're looking for ways to know if your saved in 1 John they are everywhere.

8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
-More indications. But also self check time. Do we love. Really love as God loves. Not just loving those who love us but also those who don't and who are our enemies. This is the kind of love that God shows to us.

9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
-Loving his enemies.
-Showing love sacrificially, humbly, inconveniently, radically.

10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
-this is big love. super committed. He covers our sin with his love. Like pushing us out of the way of a car kind of love.

11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
-This is a good reason to love. Even when someone seems unlovable.

12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
-Complete is a nice word. so many 'loves' of this world aren't even close to complete yet we run and run after them.
-love love love.

Aw, I miss the corec. Actually I just miss having a gym I can go to anytime I want. Gyms in Korea (or health clubs as they like to call it) are ridiculously expensive.
