web - 1John:4:10-12

web@1John:4:10 @In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice {"atoning sacrifice" is from the Greek "hilasmos," an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation--the sacrifice that turns away God's wrath because of our sin.} for our sins.

web@1John:4:11 @Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

web@1John:4:12 @No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
