“He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love” (1 John 4:8).
Today’s key verse presents another test of our love. Sadly, many who claim to love God are failing this test. They don’t know God as much as they think they do. In Barnes Notes on the Bible, we find these insights: “He that loveth not, knoweth not God—Has no true acquaintance with God; has no just views of him, and no right feelings toward him. The reason for this is implied in what is immediately stated, that ‘God is love,’ and of course if they have no love reigning in their hearts, they cannot pretend to be like him.”
God is the embodiment of love. If we desire to be more like Him, we must embrace this truth: God is love.
