The love is in this respect, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins. ”
فِي هٰذَا هِيَ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ ،‏ لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَحْبَبْنَا ٱللهَ ،‏ بَلْ أَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا وَأَرْسَلَ ٱبْنَهُ ذَبِيحَةَ مُصَالَحَةٍ تُكَفِّرُ عَنْ خَطَايَانَا » .‏
