1 John 4:11-18
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
God is light - and God is live. He showed his ove for us in sending his Son to bring us forgiveness and new life.
The proof that we really share his life - his nature - is the love we show towards others. John has touched on this already in chapter 2: here he looks at it from all angels.
If we love and obey God, we need not dread the day of judgment.
Why?
Perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. Love overcome the fear. Love is strength.
Love one another shows the love in us for God is love, before we knew Him, God has loved us.
How?
What should I do in love one another? caring and supporting brothers as I can.
