A Perfected Love: Reflections on 1 John 4

What is "perfect" love, and does God truly expect us to achieve it?

In this week’s "Snapshots from the Bible," Pastor Justin explores 1 John 4:12–18 in a message titled "A Perfected Love." He dives into the profound reality of the love God expressed to us through Jesus Christ—a love that is not just a sentiment, but a standard.

The Call to Reflect Christ

God calls us to extend this same perfected love toward others, with a particular emphasis on our brothers and sisters in Christ. While "perfection" can feel like an impossible weight, the scripture reminds us of two encouraging truths:

• Sanctification: Our ability to love perfectly is a growth process, not an overnight switch.

• The Holy Spirit: This transformation is only possible through the Spirit God has placed within us, enabling us to love beyond our natural capacity
