“不是我们爱上帝，乃是上帝爱我们，差他的儿子为我们的罪作了挽回祭，这就是爱了。”
约翰一书 4:10
“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”
1 John 4:10
Do you believe God loves you? Or does the thought seem childish and self-centered?
John, “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 13:23), heard his Teacher say that only those who become like a little child would enter the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 18:2–4).
John took those words personally, but didn’t apply them just to himself. He wrote about the Father who loves all of us (John 3:16; 1 John 4:14–16). With great maturity and childlike certainty he reminds us that believing God is love and loves us personally is what gives us reason to love Him and one another.
