1 John 4:11 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.'

The greatness of this love of God, so wonderfully revealed, can only move those who believe in it and respond to it to love one another. How can we know that love and not love those whom God has called through it? We are one in that love. To know and to respond to God's love should and will result in a desire to reveal that love to all who truly love Him, for we will be transformed by that love and desirous to ensure that the love which flows from what He is, is effective and continuing.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
