*1.* “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,” *2.* “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.” *3.* “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.” *4.* “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
