Love is so much more than just words and speech, as 1 John 3:18 reminds us... true love is loving with action and in truth. Jesus loved with action and in truth. We begin our study today in 1 John 4 where it talks about how God is love, and if we really want to know how to love, we must know God. Jesus is God, and in this world we are like Jesus. So if we want to perfect our love walk, it's important to read about how Jesus loved people. Jesus loved people with so much more than just fluffy words and speech -- which count for nothing -- but He loved with action and in truth. Every time Jesus came across a sinner, He told them to repent and leave their life of sin -- not because He was looking to condemn them, but because He wanted to save them. So often we think to love someone is to be nice to them or tell them what they want to hear, however that is not what love is. Love is caring for someone so much that you are willing to tell them the truth-- especially if it's something they don't want to hear-- in order to save their soul. This is how Jesus loved and this is how we should love too.
