Excerpt
The Saints gain fellowship with God by obedience—We must confess our sins to gain forgiveness. Christ is our Advocate with the Father—Love not the world—Anti-Christs will come in the last days. The sons of God will become like Christ—Love for others is required to gain eternal life—Obedience ensures us an answer to our prayers. God is love and dwells in those who love Him. Saints are born of God through belief in Christ—Water, blood, and the Spirit testify of Christ—Belief in Christ is required to gain eternal life.
