1 John 4:9

Verse 9

9. In this was manifested The kingdom of nature is full of destruction: it is in the kingdom of grace that God, as love, is manifested, and in the kingdom of glory is perfectly realized. The infinite and universal secret that God is love, rather than that God is power, obscured or concealed in physical nature, is embodied in Christ, revealed in his life and death, and proclaimed by his gospel.

Sent his only Begotten Son Not only proof of his love, but its incarnation and embodiment; revealing God’s character as love even in nature and in all things.

Live Be delivered from original non-existence, and enabled to live the life of eternal love.
