but whoever practices obedience to His message really has a perfect love of God in his heart. By this we can be sure that we are in union with Him:

Jesus answered him, "If anyone really loves me, he will observe my teaching, and my Father will love him, and both of us will come in face-to-face fellowship with him; yes, we will make our special dwelling place with him.

Whoever practices obedience to His commands remains in union with Him and He in union with him; and in this way we know that He remains in union with us, by the Spirit that He has given us.

No one has ever seen God; yet if we practice loving one another, God remains in union with us, and our love for Him attains perfection in our hearts,

Whoever continues to hold and keep my commands is the one who really loves me, and whoever really loves me will be loved by my Father; yes, I will love him myself and will make myself real to him."

But He said, "Yes, but better still, blessed are those who listen to God's message and practice it!"

Whoever continues to eat my flesh and drink my blood continues to live in union with me and I in union with him.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in union with me and I in union with him will bear abundant fruit, because you cannot do anything cut off from union with me.

So then there is no condemnation at all for those who are in union with Christ Jesus.

So you owe it all to Him through union with Christ Jesus, whom God has made our wisdom, our means of right standing, our consecration, and our redemption,

For if anybody is in union with Christ, he is the work of a new creation; the old condition has passed away, a new condition has come.

He made Him who personally knew nothing of sin to be a sin-offering for us, so that through union with Him we might come into right standing with God.

For it is in Him that all the fullness of Deity continues to live embodied,

You see that faith cooperated with his good deeds, and by his good deeds faith was made complete;

By this we can be sure that we know Him -- if we practice obedience to His commands.

The anointing of the Spirit which you received still remains in your hearts, and so you have no need that anyone should teach you. But just as that anointing of His teaches you about everything, and as it is true and no falsehood, and as it has taught you to do so, you must continue to live in union with Him.

Whoever owns that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in union with him and he in union with God.

There is no fear in love, and perfect love drives out fear, because fear pertains to punishment, and no one who is subject to fear has attained perfection in love.

This is how we can be sure that we love the children of God, by continuing to love God and to obey His commands.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us insight to recognize the True One; and we are in union with the True One through His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

So the dragon was enraged against the woman, and he went off to make war with the rest of her descendants, who continue to keep God's commands and to bear testimony to Jesus.

In this way is shown the patient endurance of God's people, who always cling to God's commands and their faith in Jesus.
