Aug 26, 2024 · John makes the powerful assertion that “we love Him because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19) in a section in which he is writing about how we should be expressing the love of God to others. He says a bit earlier in the letter that, “if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another” (1 John 4:11). John explains that we have come to ...
Dec 22, 2023 · The key insight from 1 John 4:19 is that God’s love comes before our love for Him. God initiated love towards us first, even while we were still sinners: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). God’s love is unconditional and not based on any merit or worthiness in us.
Apr 21, 2024 · Christians love because God in Christ first loved us. Meditate slowly over the logic of John’s declaration: it is because God has so loved us that we ought — we are obligated — to love one another. The deep root of Christian ethics is unearthed. The human ethical problem is that in order to flourish we need to love one another.
Paul loved the church because he loved Christ. He knew well the truth expressed in 1 John 4:21, “This commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.”. It was Paul’s love for Christ and His church that enabled Paul to endure the physical suffering he went through (cf. 2 Cor. 11:23–27).

1 John 4:19. ἀγαπῶμεν has no accus. The thought is that the amazing love of God in Christ is the inspiration of all the love that stirs in our hearts. It awakens within us an answering love—a grateful love for Him manifesting itself in love for our brethren (cf. 1 John 4:11). The insertion of αὐτόν is a clumsy and unnecessary ...
