Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
El amor es verdadero no solo en palabra, sino en la acción. El amor se comparte aun cuando no es fácil o seguro actuar. El amor redime cuando parece que se ha perdido toda esperanza. El amor es más que la esencia de Dios, es también lo que hace y da.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Love is demonstrated, not just communicated verbally. When the Scriptures tell us that God loves us, they always show God's actions that demonstrate that love. Here, John wants us to realize that God's love goes first. God demonstrates and shares his love with us before we demonstrate our love for him. He doesn't wait till it is safe to love us. He doesn't wait until he will get something in return. Instead, he goes first and defines his love in this way so that we can know that genuine love redeems when all hope seems lost — when we are not worthy, and when we are not ready. God is love, and we know this because of what his love does, had done, and will give to us even before we choose to love him.
