1 John 4:7 - 11(NKJV)
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us that God has sent His only begotten Son 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 His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
John 13:34 & 35 (NKJV)
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
John 14:15 (NKJV)
"If you love Me, keep My commandments."
Ephesians 3:19 (NKJV)
Know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Colossians 3:14 (NKJV)
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
Abba Father may we fully grasp the completeness of Your love, may we fully understand the importance of obeying Your commands, and may the world see the love of Jesus in us, as we love others as He loves us; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
