Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
God's love to us the grand motive for love to one another (1 John 3:16).
If - as we all admit.
We ought also - as born of God, and therefore resembling our Father, who is love. In proportion as we appreciate God's love to us, we love Him and also the brethren, children (by regeneration) of the same Father, representatives of the unseen God.
