What it means

Love is not one of God’s moods; it is His nature. To know Him is to be drawn into loving, and whatever He does toward you comes from what He is.

John writes to assure believers of what they have. The sentence is repeated in verse 16: God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God.

Where it addresses you

  • You doubt that He is for you.

  • You find it hard to love someone today.
