9By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him.

After · 1 John 4:10–11

10In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
