Look at what great big love the Father in heaven put on us that we are called the Sons of God. The world doesn’t us because it doesn’t know Him.

So brothers, now we are the Sons of God and when He comes back we will be shiny bright special like Him because we will see Him like He is. The ones who look to this are cleaning themselves up inside.

The ones who do bad are breaking the rules because breaking the rules is bad. Jesus was shown to take away all badness.

 

 

 

The ones who do bad are from the bad one. If you stay in Jesus you won’t do bad. That’s why Jesus came, to stop and get rid of all the bad stuff done by the bad one.

 

 

Don’t let anyone trick you: right ones do right like Jesus is right. The ones who always do bad are from the bad one and doesn’t love his brother.

This is the thing we heard from the start that we should love each other. Not like Cain who was from the bad one and killed his brother. He killed him because his brothers did the right thing and he was doing the bad thing.

 

Don’t be amazed if the world hates you. We know we have crossed over from death to life because we love the brothers. The ones who hate their brothers are staying dead.

 

 

 

If you hate your brother its the same as if you were killing him.

 

 

 

 

This is how we see the love of God because we do what is best for the other person, not ourself.

 

If you see a brother who needs food or clothes or something in the world, and you can help him and you don’t help him, how is God’s love living in you? Don’t just love with your words, but in what you do.

We know we are from the truth and our hearts are sure in front of Him because God is bigger than our hearts and knows everything.

 

If our heart tells us we did bad, God is bigger and knows; but if our heart is quiet then we know God is happy with us and we are sure about God.

 

 

And everything we ask He will do because we do His rules and what makes Him happy.

 

 

The ones doing His rules are living in Him and He lives in Him. We know He is in us because of the Spirit He gave us.

Don’t believe every spirit, but make this test to see if they are from God. Many bad ones are going around in the world. This is how you know if it is the Spirit of God: Every one that says that Jesus, the promised One to save us, has already come in a body like ours is from God.

 

The ones that say He didn’t come yet, that one is not from God. That is the bad one who is against the promised one that is in the world right now.

You are from God, little children, and have won over the bad ones, because the One in you is much bigger and stronger than the one in the world.

 

 

 

They are from the world and the people of the world hear them.

 

We are from God and the ones from God hear what we say. This is how you know the bad ones from the good ones.

 

 

 

The ones who don’t love, those ones don’t know God, because God is love.

 

 

 

And this is how God showed His love for us, because God sent his Son into the world, so that we might live with Him.

 

 

 

 

This is love, not that we love God, but He loved us, and sent His Son to take the spanking for our sins.

 

 

 

Since God loved us so big, isn’t it right for us to love each other?

No man has ever seen God any time, but if we love each other, God lives in us, and His love is made the best in us. This is how we know that we live in Him and He lives in us, because he gave us His Spirit.

 

 

 

And we saw and tell it, that the Father sent the Son to save the world.

 

 

 

Whoever says Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. We know and believe the love that God has for us.

God is love and the one who lives in love lives in God and God in him. And this makes our love the best, so we are very brave on the day when the judging will be done, because like He is, so we are in this world.

 

 

 

Love isn’t scared, the full love throws out all scary thoughts from our hearts. The ones who are scared aren’t in the best love yet. We love Him because He loved us first.

If a man says, I love God, but is hating his brother, he is telling a lie. If he doesn’t love his brother that he sees, how can he love God who he doesn’t see?

 

 

 

The ones who love God, love their brother too.
