1Jo 3:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17 : John explains that our love must be practical. If you have something that your brother or sister needs, and you ignore their need, your love for God is not real. Whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? (1 John 3:17 ). True Christian love means helping others when you are able to do so. If we love God, we will show it by caring for his people.
