God's love

John 3:16

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Believing that God loves the whosoever (us) 
The whoever who believes that God sent and gave his only begotten Son
hence we should not perish instead we have everlasting life (the God kind of life, abundant life).  

1 John 4

King James Version (KJV)

¹³Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
 ¹⁴And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
 ¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
 ¹⁶And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
 ¹⁷Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
 ¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
 ¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us.
