1 John 4:8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

As humans our sin separates us from God. We are not of Him, despite being created in His image, because we have lost the ability to love as He loves. Would you gladly give your life for those who hate you? We can barely sit in a room with someone we don't like. We split churches over supposed slights. As the church we need to stand in front of the mirror and realize that we have forgotten who God is. The sad thing is we represent this God. If we claim to be His followers we should follow Him. He is calling us to let go of the sin that separates us. He is calling us to renew ourselves in His image. He is calling us to be His bride. Where has the love gone? Why do we so easily fall into believing that this world has anything for us? Our God has redeemed us and given us life, let us follow Him in that.
