The Way We Deal With People Says Something About Our Love For God

God tells us that the way we deal with the real flesh and blood people in our lives says something about the authenticity of our love for Him.  “…For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.” 1 John 4:20

Loving The Ones Who Are Right In Front of Us

Do you love the people in your life? You know, the ones who are there all the time? The ones right in front of you? Here’s what the Bible says: “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.” 1John 4:20

We're Called To Demonstrate Our Love In Practical Ways

There’s a sense in which God doesn’t need our help in any practical way. He’ll be fine no matter what we do. So, it can be easy to profess our love for Him. That’s why God calls us to demonstrate love by helping our brothers and sisters who do need our assistance in practical ways. “…For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.” 1John4:20
