C.S. Lewis – watercress words by Dr Aletha

“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God.

Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.”

1 John 4:7-11, NLT

¹⁶This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us.

We too, then, ought to give our lives for others!

¹⁷If we are rich and see others in need, yet close our hearts against them, how can we claim that we love God?

¹⁸My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.

¹⁶For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.

⁷For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.
