1 John 4:7-16

1 John 4:7-16 CSB

Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. God’s love was revealed among us  in this way: God sent  his one and only Son  into the world so that we might live  through him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us  and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice  , for our sins. Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.  No one has ever seen God.  If we love one another, God remains in  us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we remain in him  and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.  And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent his Son  as the world’s Savior. Whoever confesses  that Jesus is the Son of God #— #God remains in him and he in God. And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
