Dear friends,

I love to read scripture, and when I want to really think about and understand what the love of God is all about, I read passages like this one, so I would like to share it with you for today's "Word for Today", courtesy of the authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible, made available online from The Bible Gateway, http://www.biblegateway.com/.

1 John 4:1-12 (King James Version)

1 John 4

1Beloved,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3And
every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have
heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6We
are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God
heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of
error.

7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9In
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.

10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
