God defines himself in Scripture as the very embodiment of love (1 John 4:16). As his children, he commands us to imitate him by loving one another deeply and authentically-a command that is second only to love for God and belief in his Son Jesus Christ. In "Love One Another", John Rogers teaches Christians what it means to love. Armed with Scripture and a keen intellect, he begins by discriminating between genuine and counterfeit marks of love, then diagnoses common spiritual ailments that manifest as a lack of love within us. Pastor Rogers then concludes by illustrating how Christians can show the love of Christ to their enemies, unbelievers outside the church, the poor, and finally to fellow believers. John Rogers (c.1570-1636) was a Puritan pastor who ministered in Essex, England. His dynamic preaching of God s Word brought many to faith in Christ while simultaneously strengthening the faith of many more but also drew the ire of his superiors in the Church of England. Originally published in 1629, this timeless text has been meticulously edited to benefit a new generation of Christian readers. Archaic language has been gently modernized, and helpful footnotes have been added to aid the reader. It includes a biographical preface, many helpful footnotes, and review questions designed to facilitate group discussion or personal reflection.
