TSK · 1 John 2:5

How blessed are those who promote justice, and do what is right all the time!

You demand that your precepts be carefully kept.

“So now, children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.

Whoever obeys his command will not experience harm, and a wise person knows the proper time and procedure.

But he replied,“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”

The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”

“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me– and I in him– bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing.

He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God.

You see that his faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works.

Now as for you, the anointing that you received from him resides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, it is true and is not a lie. Just as it has taught you, you reside in him.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God resides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears punishment has not been perfected in love.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life.

This requires the steadfast endurance of the saints– those who obey God’s commandments and hold to their faith in Jesus.
