11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us. 13By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit. 14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.
testify; serve as evidence or proof of something's existing or being the case:
How many of us have failed to testify “that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.”?
I know I have with my neighbor and friend who committed suicide eight days ago. We didn’t spend a lot of time together but we checked on each other from time to time, discussed our neighborhood, woodworking, jobs around the house, snow removal and stuff like that. But I never talked to him about Jesus! So my friends, learn by my mistake and love one another. Love them enough to tell them about Jesus and “that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.”
Have you failed Him like me?
Blessings, David
