Brenda’s Favorite Bible Verse
1 John 4:7-10 (KJV)
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be thee propitiation for our sins.
