I once heard a Bible teacher refer to I John as "The Book of Love". Reading chapter 4, it is hard to dispute that description. This chapter is all about love: God's love for us, and the appropriate response of loving God back as well as our spiritual sisters and brothers.
I'm not going to spend a lot of time right now (perhaps more in future readings through the Bible) going through this rich chapter, because I think this one is clear and stands on its own in its simplicity. I just want to encourage anyone who might be reading this blog to read I John 4 for yourself, slowly, and let its richness seep into your heart.
