Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His one and only Son into the world so 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 sacrifice for our sins.  Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.   (1 John 4)
