“God knows of love”
“Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone one who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.”
“God is not honored by groundless love. In fact, there is no such thing. If we do not know anything about God, there is nothing in our mind to awaken love. If love does not come from knowing God, there is no point in calling it love for God.”
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.”
“God is love, even to the lost, and to know Him at all is to know this.”
