God is Love
1 JOHN 4:8–10, 16 The person who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent his unique Son into the world so that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 16 We have come to know and rely on the love that God has for us. God is love, and the person who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
