Whoever says, "I am in the light," and yet hates his brother, is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother is always in the light and puts no hindrance in anyone's way.

1 John 3:14-18

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love is still in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer can have eternal life remain in his heart. We know what love means from the fact that he laid down his life for us; so we also ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. read more.
But if someone who is rich sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how can he have any love for God in his heart? Dear children, let us love not with words or lips only but in reality and truth.

1 John 4:7-11

Knowledge » Who does not know God

1 John 4:8

1 John 3:1-6

Think what love the Father has had for us, in letting us be called God's children, for that is what we are. This is why the world does not know what we are??ecause it has never come to know him. Dear friends, we are God's children now; it has not yet been disclosed what we are to be. We know that if he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And everyone who possesses this hope in him tries to make himself as pure as he is. read more.
Whoever commits sin disobeys law; sin is disobedience to law. You know that he appeared to take our sins away, and that there is no sin in him. No one who keeps in union with him sins. Anyone who sins has never seen him or come to know him.

Love » Those that do not love others

1 John 3:10

This is how the children of God and those of the devil can be distinguished: No one who does not act uprightly or who does not love his brother is a child of God.

1 John 4:8

Love » God being love

1 John 4:7-8

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God, and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Love » The source of love

1 John 4:7-21

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God, and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God's love for us has been revealed in this way??hat God has sent his only Son into the world, to let us have life through him. read more.
The love consists not in our having loved God, but in his loving us and sending his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, if God has loved us so, we ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; yet if we love one another, God keeps in union with us and love for him attains perfection in our hearts. This is the way we know that we keep in union with him and he does with us??ecause he has given us some of his Spirit. We have seen and can testify that the Father has sent the Son to be Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God keeps in union with him and he with God. So we know and believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever continues to love keeps in union with God, and God with him. Love attains perfection in us, when we have perfect confidence about the Day of Judgment, because here in this world we are living as he lives. There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear. For fear suggests punishment and no one who feels fear has attained perfect love. We love because he loved us first. If anyone says, "I love God," and yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. This is the command that we get from him, that whoever loves God must love his brother also.

God, Love Of » Is a part of his character

2 Corinthians 13:11

Now brothers, goodbye! Be what you ought to be, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and God the source of love and peace will be with you.
