1 John 4:9-12

This is how the love of GOD was revealed in us: that GOD sent his one and only SON into the world that we might live through him. This is unconditional love, not that we loved GOD, but that he loved us, and sent his SON to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since GOD loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another in a giving-of-ourselves way. No one has ever seen GOD, but if we love one another in this way, GOD lives in us, and his unconditional love is fully perfected.
