1Jn4:6 “Anyone who knows God listens to US... “ ( Listens to APOSTOLIC teaching- listens to the Catholic Church!)
v. 10and 11God loved us first. That’s why we must love (reach out to) others first.
5:16 John differentiates between MORTAL and VENIAL sins, to use the Church’s language. (Mortal sins = serious matter, you’re aware it’s wrong, and you choose to do the act of your own free will.)
2Johnv6 Loving God is to “walk according to his commandments.”
(Not “faith alone”, in the Protestant sense.)
3John v. 5-8 Support the Church financially!
v.9, 10 Again watch out for false teachers, and follow the Church founded by Christ on the Apostles!
