HOW TO KNOW GOD!

HOW TO KNOW GOD! 

"Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE."(1 Jn. 4:7-8,NLT) Many people see love as just a feeling. But from our text, we can see that, there is more to it. We know what true love is by turning to God. God doesn't have love, as manythink, He is love personified. That means in love, God is expressed. V12"No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and His love is brought to full expression in us." It goes beyond feelings. You cannot say you know God if you don't love, for God is love! It didn't say, God has love or God is like love, but God Himself is the embodiment of love. We are to know God and we can only know Him by loving one another. "...For we know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love."(Rom. 5:5) Your love will prove how much you know God! AB@TWD
