neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But whoever loves God is known by God.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,

Thanksgiving and Prayer
We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
-
This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
-
In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
