I John 4&5

I have come to believe and to know the love you have for me, Heavenly Father. Your love is perfected in me. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.   I love because I realize you, Father, first loved me.

I have been born of God. I believe that you, Lord Jesus, are the Christ. I keep my eyes steadily on your word, 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 your grace, Father, I do not keep on sinning.  God the Spirit dwells in me and protects me and the evil one cannot touch me.

Jesus, the Son of God, has come and has given me understanding so that I know God, my Father, and Jesus his son. I am in Christ, and he is the true God and eternal life.
