The Love of God

1 John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.
1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

We love him, because he first loved us.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Do we understand the Lord God's word. Love your neighbor as yourself. Love is and will always be of our God. If we love as his Words of love has commanded us and we will be truthful with ourselves of how we should love. Yes beloved we would all be better off for our love would command us to do so with the Love that should live within our heart's if his love is with us. As he said do not marvel at these things for The Love of God is so much more if we would only let the compassion of his Love live!
