I John 4 and God's Love

God is love. 
In this (the very next statement) is the love of God manifested in us, because God has sent His only-begotten Son into the world, so that we should live through Him.
In other words the Love that is of God, the love that He exhibits is manifested, rendered apparent, or mind you seen through us because God has sent His only begotten son into the world that we may live through Him. So Have faith and start living. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be a covering around our sins. A coving around our sins. He keep us from them. He was manifested to take away our sins (1Jo 3:5), save us from them by us living through Him. That is the covering, the propitiation. Because in him is no sin and if we are in Him we are separated from our sin. For the wages of sin, the fruit, the end result is death, but in Him we have life, a life full of and in harmony with His love and joy. So love one another. Enter into the joy of the Lord, that your joy may be full. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love being perfected is in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because of His Spirit, His Love, the ability to live in harmony one with Him. For God is love, and the one abiding in love abides in God, and God in him. By this, love has been perfected within us, that we have confidence in the day of judgment, that as He is, we are also in this world.
