Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God, everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so 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 atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.

1 John 4:7-11

Is God’s love more valuable to you than silver or gold or any other possession? It should be. He loves you, not because you loved Him, but because of His grace. Because of His love, one day you will be with Him in heaven. There is no greater love!

God’s eternal love is the source of our eternal life.
