God has a litmus test for our salvation! 1 John 4-5

1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. If you want to get to know God get to know your brother in Christ. If you want to be assured of God's love, demonstrate God's love to others. If you want to how to love one another, look how God loves us. There is a litmus test for our salvation. We are to demonstrate the love in our heart for God by our outward demonstration of self-sacrificing love for others ... even others we don't know but are now related to by the blood. John goes on to explain this love and what it looks like and how it acts by using Christ as the example. We are not believers because we "say" we are believers. We are believers because we love other believers. If we don't know them, we are to love them. If we don't like how they treat us we are to love them. We are to love them as Christ love us. Love the brotherhood.
