“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 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.” I John 4:7-9

This passage in the first epistle of John goes on to record that it’s when we choose to love others with the God kind of love that He is able to manifest Himself through us most. This brings benefits to all human parties involved in that those we love to experience a touch of God’s divine compassion in action, and we who love further develop the primary character trait of the Creator of all! There are no losers when God’s love is put on display.
