This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and reassure our hearts in God's presence.
20
Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.
21
Dear friends, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have confidence in relationship to God.
22
We receive whatever we ask from him because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
23
This is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love each other as he commanded us.
24
The person who keeps his commandments remains in God and God remains in him; and this is how we know that he remains in us, because of the Spirit that he has given to us.
