They opposed me when I was in trouble. But the Lord helped me.He brought me out into a wide and safe place. He saved me because he was pleased with me.The Lord has been good to me because I do what is right. He has rewarded me because I lead a pure life.I have lived the way the Lord wanted me to. I am not guilty of turning away from my God.I keep all his laws in mind. I haven’t turned away from his commands.
Here’s how we know that we hold to the truth. And here’s how we put our hearts at rest, knowing that God is watching.If our hearts judge us, we know that God is greater than our hearts. And he knows everything.Dear friends, if our hearts do not judge us, we can be bold with God.And he will give us anything we ask. That’s because we obey his commands. We do what pleases him.God has commanded us to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ. He has also commanded us to love one another.The one who obeys God’s commands remains joined to him. And he remains joined to them. Here is how we know that God lives in us. We know it because of the Holy Spirit he gave us.
