Love

"God is love'"

Do you believe that? It is a biblical truth that is told to us so that we can discern the difference between hate and love.  It is powerful to even think about, especially when we celebrate Valentine's Day and the word 'love' is so lightly used. I wanted to research true love. So I found a letter from one of Jesus' disciples.  I would love for you to read it.

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.

Love,

John


1 John 4:7-11
