1Jn 4:11  Chaverim, if Y'Hovah so had ahavah for us, also we ought to have ahavah one for another...

This is Love...

Not that we have/had it for Y'Hovah, but that He has/had it for us by sending and giving us His Son, Yeshua Hamashiach, the propitiation for sin...

so we must also have love for one another...

This is Love...

That we should walk and do His commandments, just as Messiah Yeshua did/does them..and just as we have heard and known that from the very beginning of time, we must walk in them...

This is Love...

We must receive Messiah, love each other as He loves each of us, and walk in His commandments - His Word, from start to finish...
