John explains the greatest assurance we have of our salvation. We belong to Jesus because of what He's done for us, not what we do for Him. One what He has done sets into our hearts and minds, we will want to do for Him what He can only do through us.

1. We can examine what we love most by what we invest our time, talent, and treasure into.

2. Jesus' Commandments are to Believe in who He is and love like He loved us First.

3. Jesus is the only One who can love like He does, and does so through those who belong to Him
