His Fullness
The
Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the
glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and
truth.
(John
testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about
when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before
me.’”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already
given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus
Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God
and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
John 1:14-18
How
much do you love your neighbor? The answer is critical.
The
love we have for our neighbor springs from God’s kindness, forbearance, and
patience with us. It’s not the law, but the goodness of God that draws men and
women to repentance, and to saving faith in His Son Jesus Christ.
Love is the magnet that draws believers together
and
attracts unbelievers to Christ.
