A Staggering Truth

God's love is perfected in our love of one another! Thus 1 John 4.12. What to say about this? It's at once an unbending responsibility and a high privilege. As we followers of Christ love one another, then God's love is perfected. So states the notes in NET: The love that comes from God, the love that he has for us, reaches perfection in our love for others, which is what God wants and what believers are commanded to do (see 3:23b).
