Assurance breeds confidence …

Loving those in the body of Christ is proof that we have passed from death into life. Through this love, we have assurance in our hearts that we are children of God.

The Lord Jesus Christ on the cross is our ultimate example of love. True believers look at that model, and it motivates them to follow His lead in loving our brothers and sisters in Christ.
