Love? who needs it

"The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love."
- 1 John 4:8 (HCSB)

"If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 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. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him." - 1 John 4:15-17 (NIV)

"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." [emphasis added]
- 1 John 4:17 (KJV)

"Mungu ni upendo." (ki-Swahili) God is love.
