How do we know that God's love is in us?

In 1 John 4:7-8, it is clearly articulated that 'love is of God', and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. This love is not just a sentiment but a demonstrated action toward others, especially our fellow believers. John emphasizes that by our love for one another, all will know that we are disciples of Christ (John 13:35). Thus, the presence of genuine love in our actions serves as evidence of God's love in our hearts, shaping our interactions both within the church and the broader community.
