1 John 3:19-24 - Courage Before God

19 And by this we will know that we are of the truth, and persuade our heart before him, 20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

21 Beloved, if our hearts do 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 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded us. 24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
