True Love: God, God's People, God's Commandments

I John 4:20 – 5:420 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. Purpose of I John: Assurance  True Love for God (4:20-21)  True Love for God's People (5:1-2)  God's Commandments are not Burdensome. (5:3)   Our Response
