In today’s episode, we delve into 1 John 4:7-8 to explore the profound truth that "God is love." John emphasizes that love originates from God and that our ability to love one another is a reflection of our connection to Him. This love is not self-generated but flows from our relationship with the Creator, who is the source of all true, selfless love.
Furthermore, John reminds us that love is the evidence of our spiritual rebirth. Those who are born of God will naturally bear the fruit of love in their lives, and our relationships should reflect this divine love. John’s powerful words remind us that knowing God means we cannot remain unchanged—His love compels us to act, putting others ahead of ourselves in every situation.
Finally, John challenges us with a sobering truth: if we do not love, we do not know God. Love is the ultimate test of our relationship with Him. As we embrace this truth, we are called to examine our hearts, allowing God’s Spirit to fill us with His love, so that we can reflect His character and His grace in all of our relationships, no matter the cost.
