May 12, Morning
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
[I John.4:7]
The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto us. ■ Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. ■ He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself.
[Rom.5:5 | Rom.8:15,16 | I John.5:10]
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ■ In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. ■ That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
[I John.4:9 | Eph.1:7 | Eph.2:7]
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
[I John.4:11]
