Read: 1 John 4:7-11
Whoever does not love does not know God, because
God is love. 1 John 4:8
Good
Morning!
Babies possess inherently pure and loving hearts at birth. With
most they encounter, they have an innate ability to express true love.
Unconditional is their love.
Chapter four of 1 John reminds us of knowing God through love. As Christians, we should love one another, because love is of God.
Love tends to be the most challenging area for people when it comes to obeying God's commands. People's disdain for others based on factors such as skin color, nationality, religion, sexual preference, or countless other reasons has been proven over time. According to 1 John 4:8, those who do not love do not know God, which is contrary to popular belief.
What if God reacted to us as we react to our fellow man? The way we treat each other and the lack of love varies, whether it's within our families or at work, with strangers, or even with our government leaders. Would God cease to love us due to our lack of love or past transgressions?
In Matthew 18:3, Jesus reminded the disciples that entering the kingdom of heaven is only possible if we are converted and become like little children. Unconditional is God's love for us. Out of immense love, He gave us His son Jesus, who would atone for our sins. Why can't we love one another if God loved us so much?
Professing our love for God, despite the fact we have never seen God. Loving others doesn't require being close friends with everyone. If we try to love one another as Christ does, God will dwell in us and perfect His love in us through Jesus.
As the New Year starts, I want to echo the late Mister Rogers, "I think everybody longs to be loved, and longs to know that he or she is lovable, "find ways to extend love more to others." Being loved is important, but equally important is for us to be loving. So, remember that. Extend love to both family and strangers.
