Love's Identifying Mark
1 John 4:7-8
1 John 4:7-8
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
Insight
Love isn't just what God does; it's who God is. He is love. And when you're born of God, love flows from you naturally. If you truly know God, you will love others - not perfectly, but purposefully. Your love (or lack thereof) reveals your relationship with God. Those who don't love don't truly know God, regardless of their religious knowledge. Love is the identifying mark of a child of God.
Reflection
How well are you loving others - family, friends, coworkers, enemies? What does your love (or lack of it) reveal about your relationship with God?
