โBeloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.โ 1 John 4:7-9ย
ย
As our opening verse explains by showing love, we express that we know God. And if we canโt show love then we in effect do not know God. The bible says โFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.โ (John 3:16). God does not try to love. He is love in its fullness. Again, the bible says โThere is no greater love than to lay down oneโs life for oneโs friends.โ (John 15:13). Jesus who is God made man (John 14:8-10) exemplified through his life who God or love is. Imagine being nailed and looking at those nailing you and saying โforgive them for they know not what they are doingโ. God indeed loves us immensely (Ephesian 3:18) and this is worth meditating on; being conscious of because you canโt give what you donโt have. God created us and was under no obligation to love us. But yet the mighty creator loves us. ย
When you come close to anybody, be it a friend or partner, there is a rubbing of character. You learn from each other and then take traits from each other. Thatโs why the bible says bad company corrupts good character (1 Corinthians 15:33). In a like manner getting closer to God mustย transform you to be like God. Getting to spend time with Him in His word, prayer, in fellowship and worship must stretch your heart spiritually to love. Thatโs why saint Paul says in 1 Corinthians 13: ย
โIf I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.ย If I have the gift of prophecyย and can fathom all mysteriesย and all knowledge,ย and if I have a faithย that can move mountains,ย but do not have love, I am nothing.ย 3ย If I give all I possess to the poorย and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, [b]ย but do not have love, I gain nothingย โฆโย
In conclusion, if we can’t love then we donโt know God. But first we must be aware of Godโs love for us. An immeasurable love. For from a place of being loved we can love freely. ย
