Gospel Scripture

• 1 John 47-12
• Beloved, let us love one another, because love is
  from God everyone who loves is born of God and
  knows God. Whoever does not love does not know
  God, for God is love. Gods love was revealed
  among us in this way God sent his only Son into
  the world so that we might live through him. In
  this is 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 so much, we also ought to love one another. No
  one has ever seen God if we
  love one another, God lives in
  us, and his love is perfected in us.
