The Man In Love
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. 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.
1 John 4:7-11
We are bound to give the same love to one another just like we received from Jesus, who also received love from the Father and gave it to us. Through loving our neighbor therefore, we comply with the commandment to love God.
As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
John 15:9-10
All the Ten Commandments that were reduced to two – love God and love your neighbor as yourself – now is really reduced to one. When we love one another, we obey the word of God, and that is counted as love for God. That is why it is said that love is the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:10).
