Beloved, let’s love one another, for Love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

“Beloved, let’s love one another, for Love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born* Son into the world that we might live through him.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice† for our sins.
Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.” 1 John 4:7-12.

“By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
Whoever confesses that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
We love him, because he first loved us.
If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.( 1 John 4:13-21 NASB

Beloved, are we working that righteousness?

“And Peter, having opened the mouth, said, “Of a truth I understand that God is not One who shows partiality, but in every nation, the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him, the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the gospel, peace by Jesus Christ — He is Lord of all.” Acts 10:34-36 BLB.

Beloved, we live to hear Jesus say to us,

“Come you who have been blessed by My Father! Inherit The Kingdom…”

Beloved, then we will go into eternal life.

“When the Son of Man comes in His Glory and all the Angels are with him, he will sit on His glorious Throne. All the nations will be assembled in front of Him, and he will cull them out, one from another, like a shepherd separates sheep from goats. He will put the sheep on His right but the goats on His left.
Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who have been blessed by My Father! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, because I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you welcomed me. I was naked, and you clothed Me. I was sick, and you took care of Me. I was in prison, and you visited Me.’
Then the righteous will say to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you something to eat, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or see you naked and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’
The king will answer them, ‘I tell all of you with certainty, since you did it for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did it for Me.’” Matthew 25:31-40 ISV.

These people will go away into eternal punishment

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me, you who are accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels! Here’s why: I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t welcome me. I was naked, and you didn’t clothe me. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or as a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn’t help you?’
Then He will say to them,
‘I tell all of you with certainty, since you didn’t do it for one of the least important of these, you didn’t do it for me.’ These people will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.” Matthew 25:41-46 ISV emphasis added
