1 John 3:10 (NASB)
By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
These two things are put forth as proof of him who is of God... They practice righteousness and they love their brothers...
This practices righteousness, is not a perfect righteousness, but a practice of righteousness, a striving after that which is righteousness... This is put forth as an outward proof of one that belongs to God...
That they are striving after righteousness....
For by striving after righteousness they are striving after the very nature of God....For if God is to be found, He will only be found in righteousness.... For God knows those that are His, and however weak and feeble this striving after righteousness is in the heart, God sees it and it is this, that He will bring to full outward manifestation that this scripture might be proven true...
That those that are of God, might be proven to be so, by the outward manifestation of the practicing of righteousness on a ever increasing scale...This is the obvious proof that scripture is speaking about...The outward manifestation of righteous behavior that all might see...
And then, that which goes along with this righteous behavior towards all, is the love manifested towards those too, that are His...
Righteousness and love, the hallmarks of the saints..
Be blessed all, as the heart cry’s out for an increase in both....
A brother in the faith, Not me
