6. Conclusions

b. By the Spirit whom God has given us we experience the mutual abiding with God
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. (ESV)
16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
