Love is of God

 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. - 1 John 4:7-11

 

 

Let us love each other, brothers and sisters, because love is of God. Love is the mark of the children of God. If we are the children of God we will love.

 

God made love. When He made man His image he gave man the capacity to love. Even when man fell he still had some capacity to love.

 

But true Godlike love is something that He gives as  gift to His children. It is the trademark of a child of God. If one does not love it is evident he is not of God because God is love. We can’t have the God of love and not show love to others

 

That’s something to consider when Christians so full of hate and vitriol and anger. God’s people love, because their Father is the creator of love.
