God is holy, and He is love. He has expressed His love to the whole world in many ways, but most significantly through Jesus Christ. He expects us to receive His love by believing in Jesus (Romans 5:1–2), and then we need to learn more about how to love Him and love others in a manner worthy of our calling (Ephesians 3:14–19; 4:1). God is holy. God is love. As we have become His children by belief in Jesus Christ, He expects that we would reflect both holiness and love (1 Peter 1:15–16; 1 Thessalonians 4:9).
