# 1 John 4:8 and Worship **1 John 4:8** states: "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love" (NIV). This verse teaches that worship must flow from truly knowing God's nature as love itself. Authentic worship cannot be separated from love—both love for God and love for others—because to worship God rightly means to understand and reflect His essential character of love.
