THE LOVE OF GOD IS PERCEPTIBLE IN DEED AND IN TRUTH:-- "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren" (1 John 3:16). The love of God was perceived in Christ more by what He did than by what He said. His entire earthly life was a perfect manifestation of the love of God. Thus it is that the Scriptures exhort Christians to prove that they have the love of God in their hearts by their deeds as well as in their words. Again, the apostle John wrote: "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth" (1 John 3:18).
