No one has ever seen God. But if we love one another, people will see God through us. They will realise that God abides in us. Verse 13 - By LOVE we know that we abide in God and He in us, BECAUSE He has given us of His Spirit.
The purpose of the Holy Spirit is for us to receive POWER (Acts 1:8). This POWER is to LOVE. The POWER of the Holy Spirit is to LOVE like God loves. Romans 5:5 says that God has poured out His love into our hearts THROUGH the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us (cross ref: 1 John 4:13).
If I want to love like God loves, I must grow in fellowship and communion with the Holy Spirit, who is the POWER to LOVE.
To receive the Holy Spirit, you just need to believe (4:15).
