1 John says, Look! God loves us so much. He calls us His kids. ❤️ The world does not know us, because it did not know Him. ❓ 2 Dear ones, we are God’s kids now. We do not know yet what we will be. When Jesus comes, we will be like Him. We will see Him. ✨ 3 All who hope in Jesus try to be clean and good, like He is clean and good. 4 If you do wrong, you break God’s rules. Sin is doing wrong. 5 You know Jesus came to take away our sin. In Him there is no sin. ✝️ 6 If we live in Him, we do not keep doing wrong. If someone keeps doing wrong, they do not know Him. ↩️ 7 Dear kids, do not let people trick you. The one who does right is right, like Jesus is right. 8 The one who does wrong is with the devil. The devil did wrong from the start. God’s Son came to stop the devil’s work. ✝️ 9 If God makes you new, you do not keep doing wrong, because God’s life is in you. You cannot keep doing wrong, because you are God’s child. ➡️ 10 This shows who are God’s kids and who are the devil’s kids: the one who does not do right is not with God, and the one who does not love his brother or sister is not with God. ⚖️❤️ 11 This is the message from the start: love one another. ❤️ 12 Do not be like Cain. He was with the bad one, and he killed his brother. Why? His works were bad, and his brother’s works were good. ⚠️ 13 Dear family, do not be surprised if the world hates you. 14 We know we moved from death to life, because we love our brothers and sisters. The one who does not love stays in death. ️❤️ 15 If you hate your brother or sister, you are like a killer. A killer does not have life with God that lasts forever. ⛔ 16 We know love, because Jesus gave His life for us. So we should help our brothers and sisters, even when it is hard. ✝️➡️❤️ 17 If someone has money or stuff and sees a brother or sister in need but does not help, how can God's love be in that person? 18 Dear kids, do not only say, “I love you.” Show love by what you do. Be true. ❤️ 19 This is how we know we are in the true way. Then our hearts can rest before God. ️ 20 If our hearts say, “You did wrong,” God is bigger than our hearts. He knows all things. ➡️ 21 Dear ones, if our hearts do not blame us, we can come to God with joy. 22 We get what we ask from Him, because we keep His rules and do what makes Him glad. 23 This is God’s big rule: believe in His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He told us. ❤️ 24 The one who keeps God’s rules stays with God, and God stays with them. We know He stays with us, because He gave us God's Holy Spirit. ️
