God
Is Love
"Beloved,
let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone
who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love
does not know God, for God is love. In 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. In this
is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent
His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God
so loved us, we also ought to love one another." (1)
"For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting
life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn
the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
