Interpretation of the Bible / 1 John 4:12
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
1 John 4:12 begins by stating that no one has ever seen God. This is a strong statement because people often seek to see physical signs of God’s presence.
The Bible teaches us that God is a spiritual being who cannot be seen or touched physically. However, although we cannot see God, we can sense His love and presence through our actions.
When we love one another, God abides in us
The idea here is that when we love others, we share God’s love with them and allow God to work through us. By loving others, we demonstrate God’s love and allow His love to flow through us.
