BECAUSE
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
No one who continues to sin has either seen Him or known Him.
And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known, but we know when He appears we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies Himself, just as He is pure.
And now, dear children, continue in Him, so that when He appears we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
And this is what He promised us-even eternal life.
The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
