In this lesson we will study the text of 1 John 3:14-19 and look at the subject of brotherly love. Loving the brethren is 1) A sign of our salvation and of the promise of eternal life; 2) A reflection of God's love for man and our love for God; 3) A sacrifice that must be made when necessary; 4) A work that must be done; 5) An assurance of our salvation and of our working knowledge of God's truth. Each hearer ought to understand more about brotherly love as taught in 1 John 3:14-19. It should be our aim that we increase in brotherly love as individuals and as a congregation.
