Be Loving One Another, Because The Love Is From God

Beloved, let us be loving one another. Because the love[a] is from God! And everyone loving has been born[b] from God, and knows God. The one not loving did not know God, because God is love.

God Made His Love Known To Us By Sending His Son

By this God’s love was made-known among[c] us: that God has sent-forth His only-born[d] Son into the world in order that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love— not that we have loved God, but that He loved us, and sent-forth His Son to be the satisfaction[e] for our sins.

We Ought To Be Loving As He Loved Us

11 Beloved, if God loved us in-this-manner[f], we also ought to be loving one another.

Love Makes the Unseen God Visible In Us, Together With Our Confession of Christ

12 No one has ever seen God; if we are loving[g] one another, God is abiding in us, and His love[h] has been perfected[i] in us. 13 By this[j] we know that we are abiding in Him and He in us: because He has given to us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen, and are testifying that the Father has sent-forth the Son to be Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God is abiding in him and he in God. 16 And we have come-to-know and have believed the love which God has in us.

Love Demonstrates Our Mutual Relationship With God, And Gives Us Confidence

God is love; and the one abiding in the love is abiding in God, and God is abiding in him.

John 3:31-36

Jesus Has Come From Heaven With The Words of God. He Is Above All

31 “The[a] One coming from-above is above[b] all. The one being from the earth is from the earth and is speaking from the earth. The One coming from heaven is above all. 32 What He has seen and did hear— this He is testifying. And no one is receiving His testimony. 33 The one having received His testimony certified[c] that God is truthful, 34 for He Whom God sent forth is speaking the words of God. For He does not give Him the Spirit from a measure[d]. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things in His hand. 36 The one believing in the Son has eternal life. But the one disobeying[e] the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him”.
