How is the love of God manifest in us?

Thomas R. Valletta

The Apostle John explained expectations of those who would claim forgiveness and redemption through the atonement of Jesus Christ: “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him” (1 John 3:13–19).
