By this we know that we love the Children of God when we love God and keepe his Commandements for this is the love of God that we keepe his Commandements and his Commandements are not grievous to him that is borne againe and none else keepeth them 1 Iohn 5.2 3 4. 1 Iohn 3.7 8 9 10. and he that keepeth his Commandements dwelleth in him and hereby wee know that hee dwelleth in us by the spirit that be hath given us 1 Iohn 3.24 1 Iohn 2.5 Luke 1.6 Rev. 14.1 to the 6 This was the condition of those which were redeemed to the Lord Hereby receive we the love of God because he hath laid downe his life for us and we ought to lay downe our lives for the Brethren 1 Iohn 3.16 17. he that loveth not ●oh 4.7 knowes not God for God is love 1 Iohn 4.7 In this was made manifest the love of God because he sent his onely begotten Sonne into the World that we might live through him 1 Iohn 4.9 Now the world is set in mans heart 〈◊〉 1.4 5 so that he cannot finde out the beginning nor the end of the worke of God Eccles 3.11 and saith Iesus Christ I am the light of the world that enlightneth every one that commeth into the world he that loves this light brings his deedes to the light that the light may prove them he that hateth the light hateth to be reproved because his deedes are evill and there is his condemnation Iohn 3.19 20 21.
