1 John 2:5-6

5 But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we are in Him.

6 The man who professes to be continuing in Him is himself also bound to live as He lived.

1 John 2:24

24 As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

1 John 2:27-28

27 And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things--and is true and is no falsehood--you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.

28 And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming.
