He is the Antichrist who has no belief in the Father or the Son. 23 He who has no belief in the Son has not the Father: he who makes clear his belief in the Son has the Father. 24 But as for you, keep in your hearts the things which were made clear to you from the first.

- 1 John 3:14-19 : 14 We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers.

God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.
