And loving means living the way he commanded us to live. And God’s command is this: that you live a life of love. You heard this command from the beginning.
Those who really love me are the ones who not only know my commands but also obey them. My Father will love such people, and I will love them. I will make myself known to them.”
My dear friends, I am not writing a new command to you. It is the same command you have had since the beginning. This command is the teaching you have already heard.
