The reason we know that we have changed from death to life is because we love our Christian brothers and sisters. Anyone who doesn't love remains dead. All those who hate their Christian brothers and sisters are murderers, and you know that no murderers have eternal life within them! This is how we know what love is: Jesus laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters. If one of you is living well in this world and you see your Christian brother or sister in need, but you don't show compassion—how can God's love be living in you? Dear friends, let's not just say we love with words, but show our love in what we do and how we demonstrate the truth. This is how we will know that we belong to the truth, and how we will set our minds at rest before God whenever we think we're in the wrong. God is greater than how we think, and he knows everything. Dear friends, if we're reassured we're not in the wrong, we can have confidence before God.
