Andreas of Caesarea, on 1John 4:7
Andreas of Caesarea · c. A.D. 563–637
1John 4:7 · Douay-Rheims
“Dearly beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. And every one that loveth, is born of God, and knoweth God.”
On this verse:
“What does it mean to say that love is from God? Surely this refers to the man who came from God, who was revealed according to the image and likeness of the one who made him? For when this man appeared, he was revealed as the beloved and as worthy of being loved. Now since this Savior has been sent into the world because of the Father's great love for the things which he has made, those who have received this blessing and who are thus beloved ought to love one another. For each of us is loved and is called to love, having the command that we should love our neighbor.”
