The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.]
The verse 1 John, 4:8 of the chapter 4 that presents us with the version 'Amplified Bible ' of the Bible is very interesting to carry out a reflective reading and try to deepen the wisdom of its words. What did God want to tell us with the verse 1 John, 4:8? The chapter 4 consists of 21 of verses, which can help to contextualize and offer better references to understand what the Father wants to tell us in the verse 1 John, 4:8.
Despite everything, no word written in the Bible is superfluous. No word is missing. The word of the Lord is found in the Holy Scriptures, either in the 'Amplified Bible ' or in any other version of the Bible. Therefore, reflecting on the verse 1 John, 4:8 of the chapter 4 of the book 1 John, helps us to be better Christians and to get closer to God. It is good to turn to the verse 1 John, 4:8 on all those occasions when it can serve as a guide to know how to act or to bring peace to our hearts.
