In 1 John 4, the word love occurs 27 times, and God’s love through Christ is cited as the source of our love for God and for others.

 “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”( v.10)

“We have known and believed the love that God has for us” (v.16)

“We love Him because He first loved us” (v, 19)

God’s love is not a slowly dripping faucet or a well we must dig for ourselves, It is a rushing stream that flows from his heat into ours, whatever our family background or experiences in life-whether we feel well-loved by others or not-we can know love, We can draw from the Lord’s inexhaustible source to know His loving care for us, and we can pass it on to others.

Nothing is more powerful than God’s love.
