Our Love for One Another

MEMORY VERSE: 1 John 4:21.

1. If we love God, how will we regard those about us? Memory verse.

2. Can a person love God and not love his brother? 1 John 4:20. Who is meant by “brother”?

3. How much should we love others? Matt. 22:39; John 15:12, 13.

4. Which of the commandments show how we should treat one another? Ex. 20:12–17.

5. To whom is the first of these addressed? Verse 12. (Question so as to develop a few practical thoughts on each of the last six commandments.)

6. How is true love made known? 1 John 3:18.

Read in concert: “If I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth.” 1 Cor. 13:3–8.

(As an introduction to the next lesson, ask the children to bring in a text containing the word “faith.”)
