Feb 4_1 John: The Idea of God
04/02/2024 Duración: 39min1 John 4:7-12, John says "no one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."

In so far as we love one another, the image of God lives in us and in the world. It's like an atom...no one has ever seen an atom, but we have this picture that carries the idea.
