Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 John 4:9

_ _ toward usGreek, “in our case.”

_ _ sentGreek,hath sent.”

_ _ into the world — a proof against Socinians, that the Son existed before He was “sent into the world.” Otherwise, too, He could not have been our life (1 John 4:9), our “propitiation” (1 John 4:10), or our “Savior” (1 John 4:14). It is the grand proof of God’s love, His having sent “His only-begotten Son, that we might live through Him,” who is the Life, and who has redeemed our forfeited life; and it is also the grand motive to our mutual love.
