08/22 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

12 - No person has seen God. If we love one another, God is in us and remains in us. And his love is made perfect [teleióō – to consummate, reach the end-stage, i.e. working through the entire process to reach the final phase and conclusion, from tel/telos - to reach the end-aim] within us. 13 And it’s by this that we know we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of His Spirit/Presence {which “is Love” opposite of passing judgment, division}. 14 And we have seen - and testify - that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses [homologeó - speaks the same, agrees] (knows) Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in them, and they in God. 16 And so we have come to know, and believe in, the love God has for us. God iS love. And whoever abides in love (genuine affection) abides in God. And God abides in them.
