God Is Love

7Beloved, flet us love one another, for love is from God, and gwhoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 hAnyone who does not love does not know God, because iGod is love. 9In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that jGod sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

2 John 4-6

Walking in Truth and Love

4 kI rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father. 5And now I ask you, dear lady— lnot as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning— mthat we love one another. 6And nthis is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just oas you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.
