Love is in sacrifice and self-giving.

1 John 3:13-24
John explained more clear about love each others.
Dear children, let us not love with tongue or words but with actions and in truth. IF anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how an the love of God be in him?
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.
God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
This is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
Why?
'Heard from the very beginning', is that God's people must live one another. John tells us plainly: This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us!
This love is not just talk. It expresses itself in sacrifice and self-giving. And it will touch our pockets.
If our conscience is clear on this score, we can approach God with confidence. He answers the prayers of those who obey him.
We know it by his gift of the Spirit.
The love is come from our conscience,our heart, when we see our brother in need we should have pity on him and give what we can to help him, with giving action and tender words to him.
God listens our pray when we obey him.
How?
What I have to do is going to do the action of love to our brother. Let my conscience is not be condemned. Love is in sacrifice and self-giving.
