God is Love

Pastorally, the Apostle John reminds believers to love one another. This brotherly love stems from our new relationship to God, having been born from above by God's grace. Grounded in this quintessential love of God displayed in the incarnation, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Christians are to love in this way as well. The end of this section concludes with great assurances of God's love for His children.
