"My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."

King James Version

What does 1 John 3:18 mean? โ†’

Passage Context

16Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

Devotional Reflection

GratitudeCompassionDoubt

It's cheap to talk. Words are less powerful than deeds. Let us demonstrate how much we care for our families, friends, and Christian brothers and sisters through the way we live and how we serve one another.

Prayer

God, my Abba Father, you are kind and loving. Please forgive me for not showing my love for your children in more than just words. Please give me a chance today to bless one of these brothers or sisters in Christ with a kind deed, a gentle action, or a way to serve. I want to show my love in the same way that my Savior did. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
