1 John 3

Children of God

1 “Look at the love the Father gave us, we are called His kids! The world does not know us because it does not know Him.”

2 “We are God’s kids now, and when Jesus shows up, we will be like Him.”

3 “Everyone who hopes in Him keeps themselves pure.”

4 “Sinning is breaking God’s law.”

5 “Jesus came to take away sins. There is no sin in Him.”

6 “If you live in Him, you do not keep sinning. If you keep sinning, you do not know Him.”

7 “Do not be fooled, whoever does right is righteous like Jesus.”

8 “If you keep sinning, you are with the devil. Jesus came to destroy the devil’s work.”

9 “God’s kids do not make sin a habit because His seed is in them.”

10 “Here is how you tell God’s kids from the devil’s: those who do not do right or love their brother are not His.”

Love One Another

11 “This is the message: love one another.”

12 “Do not be like Cain, who killed his brother because he was evil, and Abel was righteous.”

13 “Do not be shocked if the world hates you.”

14 “We know we have passed from death to life if we love. Hate is like murder.”

15 “If you hate your brother, you are a murderer, and no murderer has eternal life.”

16 “Jesus showed us love by dying for us. We must love like that.”

17 “If you see your brother in need and ignore him, how is God’s love in you?”

18 “Love is not just words, it is action and truth.”

19 “That is how we know we are in the truth and can stand confidently before God.”

20 “Even if your heart accuses you, God is greater than your heart.”

21 “If your heart’s clear, you can approach God boldly.”

22 “And He will give you what you ask because you obey Him.”

23 “Here is His command: believe in Jesus and love one another.”

24 “Those who obey Him live in Him, and He in them. His Spirit proves it.”
