A Life Marked by Love

Jun 8, 2025    Claire Cottrill

In a world that measures success by performance and productivity, 1 John 3 calls us to measure our lives by something deeper: love. In this message, we explore how real love is more than sentiment—it lays down comfort, time, pride, and resources; it steps into need with action; and it stands true, even when our hearts falter. Through the examples of Cain and Christ, John draws a clear line between selfishness and sacrificial love. If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to live out your faith, this passage gives us the answer: a life in Jesus is a life marked by love.
