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. 1 John 4:7-8

“In this the love of God was manifested towards us that God sent His only Son into the world that we might live through Him. In this 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. 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. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. He who fears has not been made perfect in love. 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 can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from God that he who loves Him must love his brother also.” Praise the Lord!
