1 John 3: In deed and truth

Read 1 John 3:1-24 before you meet.

In a few lines

The chapter opens, "See how great a love the Father has given to us" (3:1), and near its end it names his commandment: "that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another" (3:23).

The verse to carry

“See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.”

1 John 3:1

To talk about

  1. 1. "See how great a love the Father has given to us" (3:1). What helps you take that in, on an ordinary day?

  2. 2. "that we should love one another" (3:11). Who first showed you what that looks like?

  3. 3. "but in deed and truth" (3:18). When has someone's love in deed meant more to you than their words?
