Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God - Wednesday, February 25, 2009

Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.-- 1 John 4:7

Sometimes I meet people who are naturally gifted or habituated to love others.  Some people derive genuine joy from making others happy and that are not motivated by a relationship with God to do their kind deeds.  I've always wondered how God judges such people who are naturally motivated to love others and do so without regard to himself.  I'm not sure, but this passage in 1 John implies God values Love itself and makes me wonder about the salvation of people who love without knowing they are fostering knowledge of God.
