"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." (1 John 4:8)
1 John 4:8 does not say, "God loves." 1 John 4:8 does not say, "God is loving." 1 John 4:8 says, "God is love." His essence is love. His nature is love. He is love.
Read 1 John 4 in preparation for our meeting with Robert Harkrider. Know the God that is love. Know Him and love!
