We are the children of God

NS1012
1
And this is His commandment,
That we believe in the name
Of His Son Jesus Christ, (our Lord),
And love one another.
 
We are the children of God.
We believe in the name of His Son.
We love because He first loved us.
We abide in Him and He in us.
2
And he who keeps His commandments
Abides in Him, and He in him.
And in this we know He abides in us,
By the Spirit whom He gave to us.
3
And we know and have believed
The love which God has in us.
God is love, and he who abides in love
Abides in God and God abides in him.
