God's Love
We know that we abide in Him,
For He has given His Spirit;
Building up a spiritual vim,
Safeguarding what we inherit.
For we have seen and testify,
That the Father has sent His Son;
Even though people would deny,
For the reason why it was done.
The Father looked on with favor,
Whosoever that shall confess;
Gave Jesus as our Savior,
Through the Son of God He would bless.
We have come to know and believe,
The love the Father has for us;
To abide with love we receive,
His Spirit dwells within as thus.
By this His love is perfected,
So that we have the confidence;
On Judgment Day not rejected,
If forgiven of an offense.
Because there is no fear in love,
Perfect love casts out any fear;
Fear deals with punishment thereof,
Because their love is not sincere.
We love Him since He love us first,
But you cannot hate another;
You are a liar if you thirst,
Having bad blood for each other.
How can you love who is unseen?
Love God as well as your brother;
Showing your love to who has been,
And all those seeing each other.
