I have come to believe and to know the love God has for me. His love is perfected in me. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. I love because I realize God first loved me.
I have been born of God, I believe that Jesus is the Christ. I keep my eyes steadily on the word of my Lord. This is the victory that overcomes the world; my faith (i.e. the seed God has given me and the light and life that is in the words of my Lord and my Heavenly Father). I have been born of God and by his grace, I do not keep on sinning, but God’s Spirit in me protects me and the evil one cannot touch me.
The son of God has come and has given me understanding so that I can know my God and Jesus his son. I am in Christ and he is the true God and eternal life
