# 1 John 4:8 and the Incarnation 1 John 4:8 states, "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love" (ESV). While this verse doesn't directly address the incarnation, it establishes that God's very nature is love, which provides the theological foundation for understanding *why* the incarnation occurred. The incarnation—God becoming flesh in Jesus Christ—is the supreme demonstration of this divine love, as God didn't remain distant but entered into human existence to save humanity.
