Knowing God Through Love

(cf. John 3:16 )

7¶Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

8He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

9In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

10In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Seeing God Through Love

12¶No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

13By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

15Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

16And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

The Consummation of Love

17¶Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

19We love Himfn because He first loved us.

Obedience by Faith

20¶If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how canfn he love God whom he has not seen?

21And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also

Obedience by Faith

1¶Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.

2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.

3For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

4For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—ourfn faith.

5Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
