This is love.

For God so loved the world, that He sent His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Thanks be to our God. Thanks be to our God through Jesus Christ our Lord. This is love. Not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. For our sins. For He Himself is our Peace.
