Commentary

love God--the source of love to our neighbor (Jo1 4:11-12, Jo1 4:20; Jo1 5:2). the same--literally, "this man"; he who loves, not he who "thinks that he knows," not having "charity" or love (Co1 8:1-2). is known of him--is known with the knowledge of approval and is acknowledged by God as His (Psa 1:6; Gal 4:9; Ti2 2:19). Contrast, "I never knew you" (Mat 7:23). To love God is to know God; and he who thus knows God has been first known by God (compare Co1 13:12; Pe1 1:2).
