1 John 4:7 (NKJV) Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God;
and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
I wouldn't put my assurance of salvation on that verse because some people
appear to love when their love is not 1 Corinthians 13 love. I have seen
people described as knowing love when they are the opposite of Paul's
definition.
