For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

Love for God and One Another

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Knowing God Through Love

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Seeing God Through Love

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
