1 John 4:9

By this the love of God was manifested to us, that God sent forth his Son, the only begotten, into the world, that we might live through him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent forth his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

Now this is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life: and this life is in his Son.

By this we have known the love of Christ, because he laid down his life for us; therefore we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

And we have known, and believed the love which God has in us. God is love; wherefore, he who abides in love, abides in God, and God in him.
