What Does It Mean that God Is Love?
What Does It Mean that God Is Love?
St. John writes, “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in Him” (1 John 4:16). God is love. But how do we come to know and believe this? Can we gaze at the creation and know it? Can we infer it from the miracle of life? No, the evidence of God’s love for creation is ambiguous, since along with the beauty and wonder of creation come harsh realities like tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and all manner of manmade disaster. Likewise, the miracle of life is counterbalanced by the reality of death. So from these things alone, we cannot know that God is love. 06/13/2023 11:00 PM
