This is God’s commandment, that we should believe in the name
of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has
commanded us. All who obey his commandments abide in him,
and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us,
by the Spirit that he has given us.
1 John 3:23-24
John describes belief not as a mere intellectual exercise, but as love, action,
and abiding.
• Notice how the whole Trinity is at work in this passage: Father,
Son, and Spirit. As you reflect on each of these, which do you feel
most familiar with? Which do you want to know more?
• Notice that belief is not only about relationship with God, but also
relationship with others. Who in your life has influenced and
encouraged your faith? Who can you love and share your faith with?
