引言：

想要了解任何一样事物到底是什么，都离不开去挖掘了解事物的本质。当约翰在跟我们谈论爱的时候，他也就是在跟我们去讲述出爱的本质到底是什么。

一、爱中要有分辨（V1-6）

在神的爱里，我们要懂得去分辨，因为神的爱中有真理，且是认定基督的，而不会是悖谬违反真理，不承认基督的。

二、爱是从神而来（V7-14）

爱的源头是神，也因着神的爱，我们才能够从神的儿子耶稣基督的献上来领受到救恩。当我们经历神，认识神，我们就必能够彼此相爱。我们也能够透过圣灵知道我们是住在神里面了。

三、爱中没有黑暗（V15-21）

在神的爱里，我们就能够不断地除去生命里的黑暗，就是一切的谎言、惧怕、怀疑、担心、冷漠，还有其他所有非神的属性。所以爱是神给我们的命令，为的是让我们的生命进入到完全。

总结:

我们都要来认清爱的本质。首先，神就是爱的源头，所以真实经历神的爱，我们就必有能力去彼此相爱；爱是有真理作为界线，且是认定基督的，不会是悖谬而不认基督的，所以我们在爱里必须要懂得去分辨；爱里没有黑暗，所以爱也不会有任何非神的属性在其中。

1 John 4: The Nature of Love

Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

In order to understand what anything is, it is necessary to understand the nature of the thing. When John talks to us about love, he is also telling us what the nature of love is.

1. Have Discernment in Love (V1-6)

In the love of God, we must know how to discern, for there is truth in the love of God, and it is identified with Christ, and is not perverse and contrary to the truth, denying Christ.

2. Love Comes from God (V7-14)

The source of love is God, and it is because of God's love that we can receive salvation from the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. When we experience God and know Him, we will be able to love one another. We will also be able to know through the Holy Spirit that we are abiding in God.

3. There is No Darkness in Love (V15-21)

In the love of God, we are able to constantly remove the darkness from our lives, which is all lies, fear, doubt, worry, indifference, and all other attributes that are not of God. So love is a command given to us by God in order to bring our lives into wholeness.

Conclusion:

We must all come to know the of love. First of all, God is the source of love, so if we truly experience God's love, we will have the ability to love one another; love is bounded by truth, and is acknowledging Christ not denying Christ, so we must know how to discern in love; there is no darkness in love, so love does not have any non-divine attributes in it.
