# 1 John 4:8 and Forgiveness **1 John 4:8 states: "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." (NIV)** While this verse doesn't explicitly mention forgiveness, it teaches that God's very nature is love, which is the foundation for forgiveness. Since God is love, His willingness to forgive flows from His essential character, and those who know God are called to reflect His loving, forgiving nature in their relationships with others.
