1 John 5:1-3
WHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
While God floods us with his love, a love that never wavers even when we resist. He does expect something of us, God offers clear expectation: we are to
love God and keep His commandments. Thankfully God’s commands are not burdensome, with the help of the Holy Spirit we can live them out as we experience His love and joy.
