1 John 4:8 KJV
The exhortation is due to the high and heavenly descent of love: For love is of God. He is the fountain, author, parent, and commander of love; it is the sum of his rules and gospel. His Spirit is the Spirit of love. The new nature in the children of God is the offspring of his love. The fruit of the Spirit is love, Gal. 5:22.
The verse attribution of the divine Majesty so clearly shines in all the world as his communicative goodness, which is love. He that loveth not is not quickened by the knowledge he has of God to the affection and practice of love, for God is love. God's nature and essence are love, as well as, his will and works are primarily love. He loved us so much that, God commandeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, Rom. 5:8. He loved us so much that, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, John 3:16. Now, in that, is true Love!

Solomon states in Proverbs 1:7 that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." This is an inspiring exaltation of the importance of wisdom and knowledge. The following verses of the Holy Bible are intended to expand our understanding of life's basic instructions.
