Therefore, first help learners to understand the importance of God’s love so they will be motivated to embrace and apply this session.  \nStudy Jesus’ Love  \nJohn’s commentary about love comes from the teachings of Jesus. Spend time reading Jesus’teaching about love (Matt. 22:37-40; John 13:34; Luke 6:35; Mark 10:43) to develop a broader understanding of how Christians should love. Consider at least five key lessons from Jesus’teaching about love that can enhance your presentation in this session.  \nLOOK BACK  \nRemind learners of last week’s session about the assurance of victory we have in Christ Jesus. Invite volunteers to share “Live It” (p. 35) experiences as well as how their confidence in victory influenced their witness and impacted their lifestyle throughout the week.  \nTEACHING PLAN  \nINTRODUCTION  \nInvite learners to share their favorite verse about love. Read Romans 8:35 . Emphasize that because of the death and resurrection of Jesus, believers should be assured of the love of God for them. Then ask them to share the times they felt most loved by God or someone else.  \nSHARE: Tell learners that love is a command from God with many benefits for those who obey that command. Explain that our love for others should be volitionally driven, not motivated by superficial appearance, emotional attraction, or sentimental relationships.  \nTRANSITION: Ask learners what it means to have the assurance of God’s love. Then read the title and The Point: “God’s love is seen when we love others as He has loved us.” Also read the question “What do we know about God’s love?” which this session will answer.  \nDIG INTO THE TEXT  \nWe Know God Is Love // 1 John 4:7-10  \nDIGGING DEEPER: Explain that there are four different words for love in the Greek language:“Eros,” “Storge,” “Philia,” and “Agape.” Share that John is talking specifically about agape love. Invite a volunteer to read “Digging Deeper” (p. 39) and discuss the question at the end of the feature.  \nREAD: Enlist a volunteer to read 1 John 4:7-10 .  \nDISCUSS: Ask learners how they would describe love in these verses. Guide them to discuss what the statement: “Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God” means. Encourage them to share their understanding of the command to love.  \nGUIDE: Invite a learner to read the paragraph that begins “Love is the …”(p. 38) and then use the commentary for verse 7-8 (p. 122) to identify the three times John discusses love.  \nASK: “What does John mean in verse 8 when he says, ‘The one who does not love does not know God because God is love?’”  \nEMPHASIS: Point out that love is a divine imperative that is essential to Christian discipleship. We cannot love God without loving others. Reiterate that our vertical relationship with God is informed by our horizontal relationship with our neighbor.  \nREAD: Recruit a volunteer to read the paragraph that begins, “God’s children have …”(p. 39) to discuss the confidence we should have in God’s love.  \n1 2 0 YO U  \nT H E P O I NT: GOD’S LOVE IS SEEN WHEN WE LOVE OTHERS AS HE HAS LOVED US.  \nASK: “What difference does God’s love make in your life compared to other loves?” (This is the question from page 39.)  \nSUMMARIZE: Emphasize that Christians are commanded to love one another because love comes from God. We know God loves us because Jesus died for us.  \nWe Must Love One Another // 1 John 4:11-13  \nREAD: Invite a volunteer to read 1 John 4:11-13 .  \nSAY: “Every believer is called to love others, but we each love in our own unique ways.” Remind learners that there should be concrete evidence of our love for others.  \nASK: “Why is it so difficult to love all people as God commands us to love? Do you think some people do not deserve to be loved? Why?”  \nEMPHASIZE: Point out that we should love others because God loved us f","cbCainHCJndams0u","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainHCJndams0u","pdf",93472,"English","# Before You Teach\n## Motivate Learning\n## Study Jesus’ Love\n# Look Back\n# Teaching Plan\n## Introduction\n## Share\n## Transition\n## Dig Into The Text\n### We Know God Is Love // 1 John 4:7-10\n### We Must Love One Another // 1 John 4:11-13\n### We Must Not Hate // 1 John 4:19-21","[{\"question\":\"Why should adult learners be motivated to understand God’s love before teaching begins?\",\"answer\":\"Adult learning is self-initiated, so teaching starts by helping learners grasp the importance of God’s love so they are motivated to embrace and apply the session.\"},{\"question\":\"What does it mean that “God is love,” and how does this shape Christian discipleship?\",\"answer\":\"The lesson emphasizes that love is a divine imperative essential to discipleship: believers cannot love God without loving others, and vertical trust in God is reflected through loving one’s neighbor.\"},{\"question\":\"How does God’s love affect relationships, especially when hatred or fear are present?\",\"answer\":\"The lesson teaches that there is no hatred in love; God-centered love frees believers from fear and gives power to love others, including in difficult relationships.\"}]","Sure of God’s Love - Lesson Five - Before You Teach - Teaching Plan | PDF"]
