A few months ago I was reading through 1 John 4:7-21 in the bible and it was talking about why we should love, who we should love and why it’s important that we love one another as God has loved us. And before I even finished I took a moment to think and I was inspired to write a short quote about God’s love and how He sent an example of His love through Jesus Christ. It doesn't go into a lot of detail, but it gives a simplified meaning of why we should love and its importance. Below are both the quote and the bible verses for you to read.
Inspired Quote:
Jesus was sent to love, so He loved and through this example
we ourselves should exemplify love also.
Bible verses in [1 John 4:7-21]:
Dear friends, we should love each other, because love comes
from God. Everyone who loves has become
God’s child. And so everyone who loves
knows God. Anyone who does not love does
not know God, because God is love. This
is how God showed his love to us: He sent his only Son into the world to give
us life through him. True love is God’s
love for us, not our love for God. He
sent his Son as the way to take away our sins.
That is how much God loved us, dear friends! So we also must
love each other. No one has ever seen
God. But if we love each other, God
lives in us. If we love each other,
God’s love has reached its goal—it is made perfect in us.
We know that we live in God and God lives in
us. We know this because he gave us his
Spirit. We have seen that the Father
sent his Son to be the Savior of the world, and this is what we tell people
now. Anyone who says, “I believe that
Jesus is the Son of God,” is a person who lives in God, and God lives in that
person. So we know the love that God has
for us, and we trust that love.
God is love. Everyone
who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in them. If God’s love is made perfect in us, we can
be without fear on the day when God judges the world. We will be without fear, because in this
world we are like Jesus. Where God’s
love is, there is no fear, because God’s perfect love takes away fear. It is his punishment that makes a person
fear. So his love is not made perfect in
the one who has fear.
We love because God first loved us. If we say we love God but hate any of our
brothers or sisters in his family, we are liars. If we don't love someone we have seen, how
can we love God? We have never even seen him.
God gave us this command: If we love God, we must also love each other
as brothers and sisters.
Thanks for taking the time to read. Much love to you all! ❤
