God is love. when we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us.
We, though, are going to love- love and be loved. First we were loved, now we love. He loved us first. If anyone boasts, " I love God," and goes right on hating his brother or sister, thinking nothing of it, he is a liar. If he won't love the person he can see, how can he love the God he can't see? The command we have from Christ is blunt: Loving God includes loving people. You've got to love both.
