Our culture has a terrible idea of what love is. Terrible is not even an apt description. This passage is another of the Apostles tests of salvation. If you know God you love others. If you don't love others you don't know God. John's blunt and forthright approach is always refreshing. Brace yourself for conviction. Spoiler alert: you don't measure up. Fall on your face with me and ask God for His help in loving others.
