BUT... anyone who does not love (1 John 4:7-8)

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.

BUT…

 anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:7-8 (NLT)

This verse can be easily misinterpreted that if someone does not love they are not a child of God. BUT that is not what it says.It clearly states that someone who does not love does not KNOW God. Our Fathers greatest attribute is LOVE try today to really get that… think about it He sent His son for you because He wanted you to be able to LOVE Him. When you get this it is much easier to love others.
