In 1 John 4, we see authentic love considered, communicated, consisted, confirmed, completed, commenced and commanded.

John tells believers to gauge the spirits of truth and error. The spirit of truth confesses the Gospel, is greater than the spirit of error, and those who know God gives heed to it.

As believers, we are God’s progenies presently, we have a promise to be like Him and this hope purifies us.

John instructs believers to not love the world because the three main evils of the world are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.

Those who don’t love others are in total darkness, walk in that darkness and don’t know where they’re going but those who love others are in the light.

True believers keep God’s commands, keep God’s word and walk as Jesus walked.
