As believers, we should not love the world. We are living in the last hour. We have an anointing in us from the Holy One.

No one who denies the Son have the Father, the one who confesses the Son has the Father.

We are promised eternal life.

Finally, in chapter 3, John tells us not to practice sin and lawlessness.

If we have the worlds goods, we should help those who have not. Love is an action word.
