Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
(1 John 4:8 and 4:16b)
| Apostles John and Peter race to the tomb on the morning of the resurrection. Eugene Burnand 1926 |
The early Christian church was afflicted with doubts, persecution, and false teaching, and the Apostle John addressed all three in his encouraging book of 1 John.
He first established his credentials as as an eyewitness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, mentioning that his hands had touched the risen Savior. John used the same type of symbolic language as he did in his Gospel, describing God as "light." To know God is to walk in light; to deny him is to walk in darkness.
