1John Ch:4 verses 7 -10

7.Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God: and everyone that loveth is born of God, and Knoweth God. 8.He that loveth not knoweth not God,for God is love. 9.In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10.Herein is love,not that we loved God, butthat he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins
