It is interesting how John uses love as the connector of what he has been teaching. He first connects love and truth. He says that if anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God then God lives in him and he in God. And he adds that we know and rely on the love of God.
He then connects love and confidence. He talks about having no fear of the future because of God's love.
Finally he connects love and conduct. He reminds us that love is not something we talk about but it is something we do. We love because He loved us first.
To live above with saints we love
Oh that will be glory.
To live below with saints we know
Well, that's another story.
