This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
(1 John 3:23-24, NASB)
John wraps up chapter 3:
~ Believe in the name of Jesus Christ.
~ Love one another.
~ Keep His commandments.
~ Abide in Christ.
We are loved. So very loved. We are forgiven. We are blessed. We are given grace. We are given mercy.
God is our refuge. Our stronghold. Our healer. Our rock. Our provider.
Jesus Christ abides in us. Walks alongside us. Carries us when we’re weary.
The Holy Spirit convicts us. Affirms us. Encourages us.
What a beautiful affirmation. What an amazing God we serve.
