1 Thessalonians 4:9

“But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another”

“Love of the brethren”: (Romans 12:10; Hebrews 13:1; 1 Peter 1:22; 2 Peter 1:7). “For ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another”: Paul did not need to dwell on this subject or write. lengthy discourse, because he had already taught them, while with them. The phrase "taught of God" does not refer to some mysterious teaching, rather one is taught of God when they accept His inspired teaching (John 6:44 “And they shall all be taught of God. Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me”; Jeremiah 2:34; Matthew 28:19). What. privilege to be taught of God. When we read our Bibles we tend to forget that we are sitting at the feet of the Creator, we are listening to the Master Teacher, and we are in God's University (Jeremiah 2:23). Notice the contrast here: Lust and Love. The selfish exploitation of others and brotherly love. The "love" that the world is fascinated with, and the "real love" practiced by the Christian (John 13:34). This verse should remind us of something. Concerning many subjects, the first priority is not additional instruction rather we just need to apply and practice what we already know.
