1 John 4:13

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us. We know that God dwells in us by the Spirit given us. because he hath given us of his Spirit. But we know we have the Spirit by its fruits. The first and greatest of these is love. See Ga 5:22.

Conclusion SUMMARY OF I JOHN 5: How We Show That We Love God. Overcoming the World. The Three Witnesses. The Witness in Ourselves. Prayer. Praying for a Brother Who Sins Not Unto Death.

Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. This belief, accepted in the heart, confessed with the mouth, and perfected by the obedience of faith makes one a child of God (Ro 1:5; Jas 2:22).
By this we know that we love the children of God. But all born of God must love God's children. The proof that we have this love is that we love God, and keep his commandments. We so love God as to obey his commandments, one of which is to love our neighbor as ourselves (Le 19:18 Mt 19:19 22:39 Mr 12:31 Ro 13:9 Ga 5:14 Jas 2:8).
