1 John 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
These verses again repeat the three features of this epistle, believing, loving, and obeying, which are the major evidences of true salvation. John has combined in this chapter the importance of true faith in Christ and true love for others. Because we are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ he has given us permission to use His name to pray to the Father. Also because we keep His commandments we dwell with Him and Him in us. The Spirit gives internal assurance to corroborate the external testimony of true faith, active love, and consistent obedience. This chapter has taught us about faith, love, and obedience so let straighten these qualities by attending a good Bible believing church today that preaches the truth of God’s word.
