1 John 4 - Love God and love each other
Manage episode 412179993 series 2935032
"Love or selfishness" forms an interesting axis.
It might seem strange not to contrast love with hate, but the book of 1 John spends a lot of time on the relationship between love and a focus on what is best for others. It is quite a stimulating perspective on love and its role in the revelation of God. We realise that love can have many "opposites", each of which represents a somewhat "great controversy" that we each must navigate in the particulars of life.
