1 John 5:2

Love for othersObedienceFellowship and the church

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves those born of Him.

By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

4 because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
