Two Opposites

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love (1 John 4:8).

The Bible tells us that God is love. It's His nature, a part of who He is. And unlike most humans, He loves unconditionally. If we belong to God, His love will overflow from us into others. It's amazing that so many people reject God and His perfect love. They don't know what they're missing. It's a precious treasure.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him (1 John 4:16).

In opposition, Satan works against us, fueled with hate. The Bible tells us he was a murderer from the beginning, and the truth is not in him. He's the father of lies because he told the first lie to Adam and Eve and brought sin into the world when he convinced them to disobey God.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,  because there is no truth in him. He speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44).

It's for each one of us to choose. If we don't choose God, we are Satan's by default.
