God's children fix their hope on Jesus' return, and so they purify themselves by remaining obedient and prepared.

Beloved children, abide in Christ by practicing righteousness.

Let us abide in Jesus by holding fast to the truth of the gospel we received, even though others abandon and deny it.

Because of who you are, be careful what you love.

It is God's pleasure for us to come to Jesus with our burdens. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain in Christ. May we let nothing hinder us from coming to Christ and finding rest in Him.

Let us keep God's commands by loving our brothers and thus be assured that we know God.

Believer, God intends for you to know with certainty that you have eternal life.
