1 John 4:7-16Dear 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: Hesent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

This is love: not that we loved God, butthat he loved us and sent his Son as an atoningsacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God soloved us, we also ought to love one another. Noone has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is madecomplete in us. We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that theFather has sent his Son to be the Savior of theworld.

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son ofGod, God lives in him and he in God. And so weknow and rely on the love God has for us. God islove. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and Godin him.

What Is Love?This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers (and sisters). 1 John 3:16

Actions and In TruthDear children, let us not love with words or tongue butwith actions and in truth. This then is how we know thatwe belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at restin his presence 1 John 3:18-19

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love

Greatest Commandment You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and

with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it,

You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

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.

Love One Another If you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most HighLuke 6:34-35

No One Has Ever Seen God…

If we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

The Holy SpiritBut the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26

We have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in lovelives in God, and God in him
