Quest. How does our love to him ⟨p. 14⟩whom God hath sent, manifest and discover it self?
Answ. Our love to him whom God hath sent, discovers it self, in our keeping his Commandments, which require us to trust in him, and live to him, as one whom God hath sent to be the Saviour of the World.
[John 14.15. If ye love me, keep my Commandments. Vers. 21. He that hath my Commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. Vers. 23. If a Man love me, he will keep my Words. Vers. 24. He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings: the Word which ye hear is not mine, but my Fathers which sent me. 1 John 2.3, &c. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his Commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his Commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: Hereby know we that we are in him.]
