July 13th, 2025 | The Love of God | 1 John 3:1-10In Week 6 of our summer series The Love of God: His Heart, Our Hope, Pastor Ben Lofton unpacks the powerful and practical truth found in 1 John 3:1–10—God's love isn't just something He shows, it's something that transforms.Through rich biblical teaching and real-life illustrations, Pastor Ben reminds us of three foundational truths about God's love:God's Love Defines Our Identity — We are not just improved; we are adopted. No longer spiritual orphans, we are made children of God, not by merit, but by mercy.God's Love Changes Our Trajectory — Salvation is not the finish line. It's the starting point of a new life, where we are being shaped into the image of Christ day by day.God's Love Transforms Our Lives — A life marked by God's love cannot remain the same. We don't practice sin; we practice righteousness—not to earn love, but because we have it.“The Gospel doesn't just forgive sin—it exists to destroy it.”This message is a direct, convicting call to self-examination and surrender. If you belong to the family of God, your life will begin to reflect the family resemblance. The love of God doesn't just add something to your life—it changes everything.Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
