According to 1 John 4:8, what does the Bible state about God and love?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: God is love
1 John 4:8 states that 'God is love', presenting love as part of God's own nature, which is why the verse concludes that whoever does not love does not know God. The reversed statement 'Love is God' is not what the text says: it would make love itself the object of worship rather than an attribute of God.
