Text : 1 Johnn 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Love is a two way traffic, "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me". Proverb 8:17. The Two parties involved here are The Almighty God and you.
It has been established from the scriptures that the love of God is always constant because God is love, (1 John 4:8), but the question is, do you love God?
When you ask people this question, the ready answer is "yes", yet we have a yardstick for determining your love for the father.
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (John 14:23).
Without mincing words, one yardstick for showing your love for God is by keeping His words.
Also, in 1 John 4:20, the word of God says, If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
This is another yardstick to showing your love for God- it is your love for your brother.
If you love God, you will keep His word and you will love your brothers, then the love of God will be perfected in you.
*No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.1John 4:12.*
