Psalm 97

The words of psalm 97 are intended to encourage us as we seek God. In verse 10 there is a challenge set forth for those who pursue God. Our love for him should be our motive to act in goodness. I wonder if the psalmist was driving at the idea that we validate our love for God through our actions towards others. Which is a message that John shared in his epistle (1 John 4:20).
