In this teaching from 1 John 4:20-21, we confront an uncomfortable truth: our love for an invisible God is demonstrated through our visible relationships. John exposes the "hyper-super-spirituality" that portrays an amazing connection with God while neglecting to love people in everyday life. This isn't about perfection—we're all on a journey of learning what love looks like. But John is bulldozing the pattern of appearing righteous while harboring bitterness, unforgiveness, and animosity toward brothers and sisters in Christ. 📘The Myth of the Perfect One: https://bit.ly/44kZu7B ❓Submit a Question: https://markdejesus.com/questions/ 📘Get The OCD Healing Journey Book Today: https://markdejesus.com/the-ocd-healing-journey-book/ ➡️Get a FREE eBook on the Father’s Love: https://bit.ly/3fGu6t3 ▶️Mark's resource library: https://markdejesus.com/topics/ 👉Support future videos: https://markdejesus.com/donate/ 🌎Join the Healing and Freedom Community: https://markdejesus.com/community 📚Mark's books: https://markdejesus.com/books-by-mark-dejesus/ Music Provided by Epidemic Sound: https://share.epidemicsound.com/73m02k and Audiio: https://ref.audiio.com/3c99d6zk Mark's Podcast and Video Equipment: https://markdejesus.com/equipment/ Disclaimer: The content published is for informational purposes.
