“If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.” (1 John 4:12)

God’s love is like a dazzling light, it always radiates outwards. From the Trinity we can see this. The Father loves the Son incessantly, and the Son always follows the Father’s wishes, while the Holy Spirit is the mutual love which stems from the Father and the Son.

When we put into practice the concept of mutual love, then we will find the reason for living.

Jesus gave us the commandment to love one another, not to satisfy His needs, but so that mankind may enjoy a perfect peace< and joy.

During the last supper, John experienced the joy of being close to Jesus. Thus he encouraged believers to live this way – “If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us”. Since we do live in this time and space, we must always remember to improve and renew ourselves – just as St. Paul calls us to “Put on the new, remove the old”.
