True Fellowship Inspires Sacrificial Love, Part 2 | 1 John 3:11-24

Main message: True Christian fellowship shows itself in sacrificial love for others; that love — not hatred or indifference — is the evidence we have passed from death to life and it gives us assurance before God, including confidence in prayer.

Key points:

• The sermon exposits 1 John 3:11–24: genuine fellowship inspires practical, sacrificial love.
• The world hates believers because they belong to God and live in the light, so we should not be surprised by opposition.
• Hatred toward a brother is equated with murder morally; love for brothers and sisters is the mark of being born of God.
• Love must be demonstrated in actions (time, effort, energy), not just words.
• Obedience to God’s commands and living in truth give assurance that we belong to God and that He hears our prayers.
