NASB | 1 John 4:16 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:16 We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him. |
Bible Question (short): Is this love? |
Question (full): Big John, you said: God did not create us with free will so that He could threaten us with hell if we choose sin. He created us with free will so that we could choose to love and enjoy His love well...why is hell ,the lake of fire and all other horrific dicriptions to be placed on mankind according to revelations. In the old testament it tells us of a great flood that was placed on the world due to sin. can you imagine drowning to death? If that doesnt make you flinch how about being burned alive? |
