1 John 3:22

Courage Before God

²¹ Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; ²² and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
