- And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
- So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
- We love because he first loved us.
- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
- There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
- For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
- If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
- Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
- And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
- See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. SelahNext verse!With image
