The world’s thoughts are on God right now.

Between the Christmas season, questions surrounding the recent terror attacks, and social media movements like #PrayforParis, the world is searching for God. But how do we know where to find Him? And given the conflicting messages out there about who God is, how do we know what to believe?

This week we will continue our Abide series by looking at how to know God. In 1 John 4:7–8 ESV, John writes, “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

God is love. Whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. The world is looking for God, and we are in a unique place to reveal him by the way we treat one another.
