Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres. Love never fails

Christ Jesus

14. 1 John 4: 16- 19
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we
live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of
judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in
this world.
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is
for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his
perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first.

15. ROMANS 5: 8
But God demonstrates
his own love for us in
this: While we were
still sinners, Christ
died for us.

THAT YOU LOVED HIM, OR THAT YOU WOULD TURN AWAY FROM SIN
WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US!
GOD LOVES YOU

18. WILL YOU ACCEPT HIS
LOVE?
