1 John 3:16-18

16 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 one another.   17 If any one of you has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in you?  18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

 

1.  Bringing FHL to the poor answers WHY WE’RE HERE.

 

Galatians 6:10

10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

 

2.  Bringing FHL to the poor is a sign that YOU BELONG TO JESUS.

 

1 John 3:14

14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.

 

1 John 3:19-20

19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence:  20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

 

1 John 3:1

1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

 

3.  Bringing FHL to the poor is powered by THE LOVE OF JESUS.

 

1 John 3:2-3

2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
