What does this mean?
The verses 16-17 show us how we know what love is: Jesus laid down his life for us. And we OUGHT to lay down our lives for others. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
These verses give us an example of how to lay down our lives for others- TO HELP THOSE IN NEED in real.
Strikingly similar to James teachings 2;14-17
„If a brother or sister is poorly clothes and lacking food and one of you says to them go in peace, be warmed and filled without giving them the things they needed for the body, what good is that?"
How about our own actions? Do they say we real love others? Are we generous as we should be with our money, possessions and time? What do we do for others to show we love them?
There are many people who are in need in this World, they might be some around you. .Do not close your door, open your heart and let your love flow as the river.
