Here John tells us how to test the spirits if they are of God. We can "know God" and in this chapter he tells us how. The key is to realize God is love, rather than loving. He is the definition of what love actually is. If love is not a part of your new nature you are not of God, because God is love (see verse 8).
Moreover if you say you love God and hate your brother, you are a liar, John says (see verses 20-21). Again, John focuses on the idea of abiding in God and He in us as the most important part of our relationship with Jesus.
