1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us. "Religion is not a creed, but a life." We will venture to put two little words into that sentence, "Religion is not only a creed, but also a life." Is not this nearer the truth? 1. In religion there is a creed. "He first loved us." 2. In religion there is a life. "We love Him." 3. In religion there is a life because there is a creed. "We love because He loved." (C. Clemance, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: We love him, because he first loved us. |
