1 John 2:5
1 John 2:5
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
Obedience to God’s Word is the true expression of love. This verse reminds us that when we obey God’s commands, we demonstrate our love for Him. Love for God is not just an emotional response; it is shown through action. By following His Word, we align ourselves with His will and allow His love to be perfected in us. As we walk in obedience, we grow in grace, forgiveness, and healing, and our love for God becomes more complete. This obedience is not burdensome but is a natural response to God’s love for us. Through it, we experience deeper intimacy with Him and reflect His character to the world.
1 John 4:20
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Romans 8:39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 5:33
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
1 John 4:12
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
