(4:12–16) Loving one another perfects God’s love by allowing others to see it. The Spirit is the guarantee that we abide in him and he in us. Abiding comes with the profession that Jesus is the Son of God. John testifies to seeing that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. This is how we know God is love and abide in it. 4:12 God’s people can be perfected in his love when they love one another. These actions allow other people to see God’s character. 4:13
