Whom having not seen, ye love

Bagster's Daily Light - February 1 - Morning

Whom having not seen, ye love.

Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 1

for we walk by faith, not by sight. 2

We love because he first loved us. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 3

In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 4

To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 5

If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 6

Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." 7

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. 8
