LOVE 1 John 4:11-12

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Dear friends
1 Corinthians 10:14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.

since God so loved us
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

we also ought to love one another
John 15:12 "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."
1 John 3:11 For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

No one has ever seen God
John 1:18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us
1 John 4:16-18 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
