God Is Love

1 John 4:7??2

Introduction: People want to see God. Philip was a disciple of Jesus, and he asked Jesus to let him see God. The Bible says that God is Spirit, and no one has ever seen God. We cannot see God as a physical image, but we can see God through His love, and that is God?셲 real image. We can see God at the scene of true love, because God is love.
