Love One Another To Reveal God-With-Us
god's love, love one another, love
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:11 (NIV)
This passage brings home the solid truth that one main mark of a disciple of Jesus is to allow Jesus' love to fill us each day and abide in that love so that we are able to love others with the love God had for us, by sending Jesus to earth.
And let's remember that from the beginnings, God made us in His own image - and I think that image is love - just as God is love.
I am adding some snippets from the another version.
Love each other because God loved us
...Everyone who loves other people has become a child of God. That person knows God.
...God's own nature is love.
...This is how God showed that he loves us: He sent his only Son to come and live in the world.
...This shows what real love really is: It is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us.
...He loved us so much that he sent his Son to save us from sin.
...My friends, this shows how much God has loved us.
...So then, we should all love one another.
...If we love each other, it shows that God really lives in us. Then we can love people completely, in the same way that God loves us.
