God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything

 1 John 3:1-24

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.  If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 

If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.

Why?

God is love, so we should love each other, especially love brothers and sisters in need.

The Lord knows our hearts, our minds, and our ways. But the Lord gives us chances and times to repent, and return to the Lord with faith,

How?

Keep walking on the way of love, righteousness, and faith. For the Lord loves us first, so we should love others like the Lord.
