The Kitchen Table 1 Jn 4 Day 18
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him 1 John 4:9
God is love and you’ll know you know His love because His love will give you Life. In fact, love creates life. It’s what love does and God is love (1 Jn 4:8). God sent His only Son in this world to give us life; it’s what He does. The life you’re living right now reveals the love you are believing in right now. If what you’re calling “love” isn’t producing “life” then it’s not true love. True love produces true life and while we humans are imperfect in life and love, God is perfect. His love never fails. To know God’s love is to trust in that love. That’s how you know what love you’re believing in. The love you’re believing in you will trust in. That is the Christian life, receiving and resting in God’s love knowing that He loves us and wants us to live.
