Devotional illustration How can you know if someone knows God?
Tip: read the verse out loud and say a short prayer together as a family.

📖 “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

— 1 John 4:8 (NIV)

🟡 What does this mean?

This verse teaches us that love is the very essence of God.

If we truly want to know God, we need to learn to love as He loves.

That means treating others with kindness, patience, and forgiveness, just as God does with us every day.

🧠 Let's think for a moment

Have you felt how happy it makes you when someone treats you with love?

That is just a reflection of God's perfect love.

When we show love, we are showing others a little piece of who God is, because God is love.

🙌 What can we do today?

Treat others with affection and respect

Forgive when someone offends us

Help those in need without expecting anything in return

Remember that loving is a way to show God

💬 Phrase to remember

👉 With love I show the world who God is.

🙏 Closing prayer

Lord, thank you because You are love and You love me unconditionally.

Help me to love others as You love me.

I want my life to be a reflection of Your love

so that others may also come to know You.

Amen. 🙏
