1 John 4:7-12

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God
and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how
God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live
through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an
atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another
. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in
us.
