To Know God

John 15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love.

1 John 2:3-6, This is how we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we continually keep His commandments. The person who says, "I have come to know Him," but does not continually keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth has no place in that person. But whoever continually keeps His commandments is the kind of person in whom God's love has truly been perfected. This is how we can be sure we are in union with God. The one who says he abides in Him must live the same way He Himself lived.

You CANNOT Hate! Surely we should love those whom God has loved, and so loved. The Holy Spirit grieved at selfishness, will leave the selfish heart without comfort, full of darkness and terror. By what can it be known that a man has a true sense of the love of Christ for perishing sinners or that the love of God has been planted in his heart by the Holy Spirit if the love of the world and its good overcomes the feelings of compassion to a perishing brother?

Listen to your conscience. Does it condemn you?

The Spirit of God works a change; in all true Christians, it changes from Satan's power to God's.
Would you forego all the world for that peace?

1 John 3:21-24 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in the presence of God. Whatever we request, we receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do what pleases Him. And this is His commandment: to believe in the name of His Son, Jesus the Messiah, and to love one another as He commanded us. The person who keeps His commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. This is how we can be sure He remains in us: He has given us His Spirit.

1 John 5:3 For this demonstrates our love for God: We keep His commandments, and His commandments are not difficult because everyone who is born from God has overcome the world. Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
