Knowing God’s Love

“You will know God’s Truth

Knowing God‘s truth is not about feeling the love of God. It’s knowing and understanding that God‘s love isn’t based on emotional feelings, but rather on actively living according to God and principles. Knowing God‘s truth and demonstrating love through actions are not just experiencing warm feelings.

The Bible often emphasizes that true love is demonstrated through actions, not just feelings.

By studying and understanding the Bible, we can gain knowledge of God‘s will, which is considered the truth.

To truly “know” God‘s love means to live a life aligned with the principles found in the Bible.

1 John 4:16 says,

“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us, God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.”

Unfortunately, many people have made love the supreme being, they have made an idol of their idealized definition of love, and then they equate that false definition of love with who God is. Scripture tells us that love does not define God, but God defines love.

Love is an action, not an emotion. It’s something we do not something we feel that’s why love should be the servant of our will, not the slave of our emotions.

God’s love is based on Kingdom purposes, principles and service to others. Counterfeit love is based on passions, preferences, and service to ourselves.

1 John 2:10-11 states that whoever claims to believe in Jesus but does not love his brother is a person who it in darkness. They might claim to be in the light, but the absence of love reveals that they have embraced a counterfeit. Where the true light of Jesus shines there is authentic love.

We can see this today in the social and political climate. Those who reject God truth, whether on the left or the right are blinded by hate and walk in darkness. if you read any comments on social media, it is very clear that they are distorted and disoriented. They do not know where they’re going because darkness has blinded their eyes.

Matthew 6:22-23 tells us,

“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness.”
