1John4:16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
Yes, love, as offense as those words are to legal-religious-Christians, John spoke them as truth, he did not deny God's love by legally explaining it away through man's teachings. No he openly confessed Christ Jesus, and the love that he had been given by God's own loved expressed through living life of Christ Jesus.
He was not boasting in mans love, or even his own love, nor the apostles of Christ Jesus love, as though they replaced God's love. What he boast in was the unfathomable of God, by unmerited kindness he had received by faith. This is the love of God, and we know we have because it is in our hearts as His children. It is not on paper written on stone of the commandments. It is rather written by the living life of Christ Jesus the force of imperishable uncorrupted life into our hearts by God's Holy Spirit.
This is the truth and Spirit we must worship in to stay within God's designated temple of worship Christ, hence, which we have been graft into by righteous blood.
These are living stones of God's temple, not dead works, of men by doctrine, John lived because Christ Jesus lived, and we are a part of that life, so we live not in books, or bibles, or religious organizations, but by Spirit of God. The rest is a dull light, a shadow leading us to the light, not the other way around, where religion worship books, as idols , than reality of Christ Jesus.
No publication is life, it leads us too the life, “the life” Christ Jesus as the source of life for the human race. Books, and the making of books are primary teachings of the Christ, they they wearisome, and vanity producing food for fleshly children that make idols of organized religion, not having the faith in truth and Spirit.
