So if God didn't love us, we couldn't love others/Him?

Which of the following best expresses the meaning of “We love, because He first loved
us”?
- We should love others because Jesus gave us the example of how to love?
- We should love others because God loved us in giving His Son? (cf. John 3:16)
- We should love others because Jesus loved us and gave Himself for us?
(cf. Gal. 2:20)
- We love God in response to His previous love for us?
- We express God’s love to others because He regenerated us and gave us His
Spirit to enable us to love others? (cf. Rom. 5:5; Gal. 5:22)
- We express God’s love to others as a result of God’s having lovingly restored us
with His divine life in order to express His character unto His glory.

The object is applied previously. Look in verse 16. "God is love" usually comes after a paragraph break. This is the only other object than the reader until verse 19, thus, we can conclude that we love God because he first loved us.

They all do, in a way.

By not having an object, it seems that John was implying that we simply can love, not that we love a certain object. Though the immediate objects that come to mind are obviously God and others.

Romans 10:14

"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"

Your thoughts, anyone?

My take is that it is nigh impossible to call upon God, if we've never even heard of Him. God has charged us to ensure that everyone hears His word, that everyone may at least have the chance to ask for forgiveness.

In the Bible, Jesus even tells his disciples to preach to every corner of the earth, that all may know His name.

In BSF last night they used that verse as justification for missions...I think that's quite correct myself.

I agree. God wants us to tell Everyone about it. Give EVERYONE a chance to accept God as their Lord and Savior.

Well, here's a new verse open for discussion:

“Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’”
-1 Peter 1:13-16

In the very beginning God created us in His image. Part of that image, I believe, is the ability to attain holiness. Even though our holiness is attained though the shed blood of Jesus, we must still live a lifestyle which reflects that holiness. And we can do this if the goal (heaven) means more to us than anything else this life has to offer.

The KJV says: ". . . gird up the loins of your mind" we must prepare our minds daily for the things we will encounter.
There are many things that can intoxicate our minds and render us useless in serving God. Such things as pride, arrogance, greed, revenge, hate, laziness, the lure of drugs,  etc. We should  be on guard against those things which would weaken our resolve to be faithful, take our minds off the goal or convince us that there is some better or easier way.
We need strong, complete and never failing hope. We need to abandon old habits that hinder or progress as Christians, to be holy.


Edit:
Other thoughts about this verse??
