1 John 3:18-22

18Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.

19Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God.

20Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.

21Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence.

22And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.
