What does it actually mean to love one another? We use the word love constantly, applying it to everything from favorite foods to the people closest to us, yet the word rarely costs us anything. In 1 John 3:11-18, John strips away the comfortable, low-cost version of love we tend to settle for and replaces it with something far more demanding and far more beautiful.
