1 John 3:21-24 ESV
Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
If God is greater than our heart, and He is, and we walk with Him, we can be confident that we are in His presence. We know this because we have His Spirit. The kingdom of God is present, for He abides with us.
We respond to love by loving. This is the mark of God. This is the joy of our salvation.
