1 John 4

Take a few minutes to read 1 John 4. You can read it in your own Bible or find it online here.

Here are the verses/thoughts that stood out to me...

1 John 4

10 This is real love - not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.

12 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.

I love the possibility of that thought ... that people can experience God’s love when they see me expressing it to others. This is all the more important when you consider that a lot of people haven’t chosen to accept God’s love because they really don’t understand it.
