Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
If I love (serve) others, I will see God in me for His love will be perfected in me. If I love (serve) others, they will see God in me for His love is perfected in me. If I love (serve) others I will see God (the Imago Dei) in them for His love is perfected in me. I believe (am committed to and trust in) these statements. I will see God when His love is perfected in me.
