In one of the most revelatory passages in Scripture, John says in 1 John 4 that "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." This verse, and the entirety of this passage, shows us that LOVE is the clearest marker of being a Christian, and that it is the very PROOF of our relationship with God.
So, why do so many Christians think of their holiness, doctrinal purity, political convictions, church attendance, and nearly anything else as the foundation and fundamental proof of their relationship with God, when John is so clear that LOVE, above all things, is the evidence of a transformed life!?
Let's talk about it.
