1 John 5:2

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

I give you a new command, to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you too must love one another.

"What I command you to do is, to keep on loving one another.

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:

and we obtain from Him whatever we ask for, because we practice obedience to His commands and do what pleases Him.

This is the command that we get from Him, that whoever loves God loves his brother too.
