Knowing God Through Love
7 1 John 3:10, 11, 23Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who 1 Thess. 4:9; (1 John 3:14)loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 Rom. 5:8In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Is. 9:6, 7; John 3:16Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, Titus 3:5not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son 1 John 2:2tobe the propitiation for our sins.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and (1 John 3:24)he who abides in love abides in God, and God (John 14:23)in him.
19 1 John 4:10We love Him because He first loved us.
