Real Love – Day 48

₇Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God. ₈Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. ₉And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him. ₁₀This is what love is: it is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.

₁₁Dear friends, if this is how God loved us, then we should love one another. ₁₂No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in union with us, and his love is made perfect in us.
