1 John 3:22-24

New Century Version

²² And God gives us what we ask for because we obey God’s commands and do what pleases him. ²³ This is what God commands: that we believe in his Son, Jesus Christ, and that we love each other, just as he commanded. ²⁴ The people who obey God’s commands live in God, and God lives in them. We know that God lives in us because of the Spirit God gave us.
