# 1 John 4:8 and Salvation **"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." (1 John 4:8, NIV)** This verse teaches that God's essential nature is love, which is the foundation of salvation—God sent His Son because of His love for the world. It also indicates that genuine saving knowledge of God will necessarily produce love in believers' lives, as knowing God means experiencing and reflecting His loving character. Those who lack love demonstrate they have not truly come to know God through salvation.
