Scripture: “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.”- 1 John 3:16
Observation: A great contrast between sin and love; and an even better analysis of what it looks like to be apart of the kingdom. Conviction and assurance are the context of the verses surrounding, and Christ's love was exemplified in this action.
Application: This is a true model of love, and the context surrounding this verse is clear that if we do not show love, are we any better than those who live in sin? In our culture where ignorance is bliss, should we as Christians remain apathetic to the problems our culture faces? Certainly not, and certainly we should strive to lay down our own "lives" for our brothers and sisters.
