1 John 3:16-20

JESUS CHRIST showed us what real love is when he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. How can the love of GOD be in a person with material possessions who closes their heart when they see a brother in need? Dear children, stop only loving with written or spoken words. Love with actions and in truth. By this we know that we are of the truth, and our hearts can rest assured, having condemned us. For GOD is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
