"Beloved, we love God because He first loved us." (1John 4: 19 RM)
In what does God's love for us consist?
God is patient and long-suffering with us. He is kinder than a mother. He is not very demanding, nor is He irritable and touchy. He does not rejoice in our failures. He believes in us and always expects the best of us no matter what. He does not flaunts His mighty power. (Cf: 1 Corinthians 13: 4 - 7)
Love of God and love of neighbor are two sides of the the same coin.
"If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?"
(1John 4:20 NKJV)
