The Bible states that God is love and that genuine love comes from Him, as expressed in 1 John 4:7-8.
The Bible emphasizes that love is of God and is a fundamental characteristic of His nature. In 1 John 4:7-8, the Apostle John writes, 'Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.' This passage indicates that true love originates from God and that our ability to love reflects our relationship with Him. Furthermore, God's demonstration of love is supremely manifested in the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ, to be the propitiation for our sins, illustrating that love is not merely theoretical but active and sacrificial.
