A reading from the first Letter of St John 4:7-16
Beloved, let us
love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten
by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for
God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us; God sent
his only-begotten Son into the world so that we might have life through
him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us
and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved
us, we also must love one another. No one has ever seen God. Yet if we
love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to
perfection in us.
this is how we know that we
remain in him and he in us. That he has given us of his Spirit.
Moreover, we have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as
savior of the world. Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,
God remains in him and he in God. We have come to know and to believe
in the love God has for us.
God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.The Word of the Lord....
