Some pertinent passages from 1 John would be examples like these:<em> "We proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us"</em> (1 Jn 1:2). <em>"If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another"</em> (1 Jn 1:7). "<em>Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God" </em>(1 Jn 4:7).</span>
