1 John 4:7-8
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
What happens to those God doesn’t know?
Matthew 7:23Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Lack of agape toward others is presented as a symptom of the problem that we do not know God.
The “cure” isn’t to “do” more “love actions”. The “cure” is to know God.
As a direct result of knowing God, you will agape others.
How can I know God?
