Love, Faith, and Fear (Part 4)
"Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us." ~ 1 John 4:11-12
One reason that God is concerned about us increasing in love is because our demonstrated love is one way He is made manifest to others.
As 1 John 4:11-12 indicates, people can't see God. But when we show love, others get a glimpse of Him.
The more people see God, the more they'll have faith in Him.
It all comes full circle.
Love > Faith.
God bless,
J.W.
