If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

… The same writing community of the Gospel of John places these words on ancient parchment. Beloved, let us love one another because love is from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God. For God is love. God's love was revealed among us in this way. God sent God's only Son into the world so that we might live through him. This is love. Not that we loved God, but that God loved us and sent God's Son so that the atoning sacrifice would be for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God. If we love each other, God abides in us, and God's love is perfected in us. God is love. And those who abide in love abides in God, and God abides in them. love has been perfected among us in this, that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, because as he said, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear. …
… hard of hearing. God hears me. He heard me. There is a space between prayed and answered called heard, and when you know God hears you, you have confidence. First John chapter 4, verse 14 and 15 says something very interesting. If we know 1 John 5, verse 14 says something very interesting, this is the confidence we have in approaching God. If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. Let's read it again. If we have confidence in approaching God, we ask anything according to his will. He hears us. I can't hear you up here. Say it again. He hears us better than Siri. He hears us better than the people advertising to you on your phone when you're talking about lawnmowers and all of a sudden a weed eater shows up on your phone. He hears us. That's why God spoke to me when I was praying. He said, I've got Graham, but he did not tell me the timeline, and he did not tell me that there wouldn't be lows, and nobody knows what the future holds. Nobody knows what there will be in the next season, but I'm not serving God season by season. I'm serving him step by step, second by second. Since he's the master of the millisecond, I can trust him right now and know that he heard me. Tell three people he heard you. …
… John writes, By this we know, that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love. What a beautiful thought. And he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. Love has been perfected among us in this, that we may have boldness. Someone say boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. What a promise. Because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love him because he first loved us. If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. …
