Key verses
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
We love because He first loved us.
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
