In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son
to be the propitiation for our sins.
Reflection
I told you were loved! Do you believe it, though?
I love you.
