If I thought 1 could make the world believe that God is love, I would take that text and go up and down the earth, trying to counteract what Satan has been telling men—that God is not love. He has made the world believe it pretty ‘effectually. It would not take twenty-four hours to make the world come to God, if you can only make them believe that God is love.
If you have really made a man believe you love him, you have won him. But man has got a false idea about God, and will not believe He is a God of love. It is because he don’t know Him. Whatever other conception of God, either right or wrong, you may have, don’t let this be forgotten—He is love, love unchangeable, love everlasting, love unfailing.—MOODY.
