Known by Love, Not by Hate: Cain, the Cross, and the Mark of True Children (1 John 3:10–16)
Wednesday, April 1, 2026
This sermon teaches that two main marks reveal a true child of God: no longer practicing sin as a way of life and supernaturally loving others as Christ has loved us. It contrasts murderous, self-centered hatred like Cain’s—expressed today through gossip, accusation, and discord—with Christ’s sacrificial love that laid down His life while we were still His enemies, and calls believers to embody that same other-centered, practical, cross-shaped love toward brothers and sisters.
