1 John 4:6-8

New King James Version

⁶ We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. ^(A)By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Knowing God Through Love^(B)

^7 (C)Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who ^(D)loves is born of God and knows God. ⁸ He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
