Keep yourselves in the love of God. Jude 21

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:4, 5

The fruit of the Spirit is love. Gal. 5:22

Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected. I John 2:5
