‏ 1 John 4:14

The Divine Love.

This section explains how faith in Jesus leads to love for God and for other people. John reminds us that the heart of Christianity is believing that Jesus is the Son of God, sent by the Father to save the world. He shows that if we truly confess this, God lives in us and we live in Him. Understanding God’s love helps us love others, because God Himself is love.

v. 14: John declares, We have seen, and do testify, that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world (1 John 4:14 a). The apostles witnessed Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. They know that Jesus is truly the Son of God and the Savior for all people. This fact is the foundation of Christian love and faith.
