We’ll be finishing up Third John, and introduce you to a couple of guys that couldn’t be more different.  The first of which is Diotrophes.  He wanted to be preeminent, draw people to himself, and it was all about him!  Could the same be said of you?  We’ll have a look in the mirror today and take what pastor Matt refers to as the Dio test.

It’s our great pleasure to study the Word with you each day on His Perfect Love, but it shouldn’t stop at that.  Are you living it out in the day to day?  As we turn back to Third John we’ll be encouraged to hear of a man that was walking in truth and the apostle John commended him for it.

Today the plan is to finish up Second John.  There’s a lot of confusion today surrounding what loving others really means.  It’s not just giving people what they want to hear, or making them feel comfortable in their sin! We’ll learn today that if we’re not walking in obedience to the truth then we’re not exercising love!  We cannot separate truth from obedience because obedience is a function of love.

Today we begin a new book of the Bible, and that’s 2nd John!  The apostle John lived in dangerous times for Christians.  Persecution was at an all-time high and the church needed some encouragement!  It’s not surprising that the apostle of love would share a loving letter with them at such times, reminding them of God’s truth!

Today we’ll come across a section of First John that actually wasn’t in the original Greek manuscript, but does that mean we should toss it out or disregard what is being communicated to us about the trinity?  Pastor Matt will take some time to explain how these words are substantiated in the New Testament.

We’re at the tail-end of our study in First John, where we’ve spent considerable time talking about God’s perfect love!  And today we’ll see that if we claim to be a follower of Christ, we must love God and others with this perfect love!  In order to do this, we’ll need some help from the Spirit of God!

Judgement Day… to some the mere thought of that is frightening. But today on His Perfect Love we’ll tell you how to have confidence on that day.  It’s not something you need to worry about, if the love of God has been made perfect in us.  Today we join pastor Matt VanderVen in First John chapter four and we are getting ready for judgement day!

Recently we’ve received a really good working definition of love from the apostle John.  After defining love for us, he then describes what God did for us.  With that as a backdrop he now tells us we’re to love one another unconditionally with God’s perfect love. I think you’d agree that is so needed in a world full of hate and evil.

About His Perfect Love

His Perfect Love is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Harrisburg, with Pastor Matt VanderVen. This radio ministry is an extension of the calling found in Ephesians 4:12-15, "for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—"
