“Beloved, let us love one another…” (1 John 4:7).

Why? Why should I love another?

Well, let me think.

I should love another because it’s the noble thing to do and doing so makes me feel good.

So it’s about me. I am noble; I feel good. (Except neither of those is true all the time.)

OK, fine. I should love another because he needs it and because he likes it.

Hmmm. So it’s about the other person. She needs it; she likes it. (Except neither of those can be very motivational for me sometimes.)

Why, then, should I love another?

“…for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”

It’s about God!

It’s about being born of God.

It’s about knowing God.

One thought on “Love? Why?

Surely you could add something...
