1 | Everyone who loves is of God?? | 1 John 5:12 | LibertyBelle | 133707 | ||
This same person gave me 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. By this scripture she believes that anyone who loves knows God. How do I answer that? I've given her other scriptures that seemingly contradict 4:7, but is there any other way I can persuade her that everyone is not God's child and will not be saved just because they love? |

Hi, Liberty Belle! I understand your situation... I've met people who want to use Scripture the way we do commerce: take what we want discard what we dislike... Try to explain to her that God is Love and that those who Know God have to Live in God's Love... God's Love is Jesus! (John 3:16) And try to explain to her that doing "good" is not proof enough that we are in God's Love (1 John 2:1-11)... it is not enough to do "good" to those who are our friends, relatives, coworkers... we must fellowship with Christ (be His disciples) and He calls us to love even our enemies (Matthew 5:43-48) and to live in Him (John 15:5-14)! God Bless! Angel |
