- We love Him because He first loved us.
- Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
- By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
- You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
- Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
- He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
- In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
- In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
- Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
- No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
- By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
- Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
- And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
- There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
- If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
- And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
- For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
- Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
- And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
- He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
- These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
- Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
- And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
- And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
- Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
