New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
When you think of the simplicity that is in Christ, know that it is just to love Him (agape=divine love, not human love) and others as you love Him.
Our enemy wants us to think that we are so far from what Christ is that we can never 'measure up' while in God's eyes, we already measure up because Father sees us in Christ, not in ourselves.
1 John 4:17
English Standard Version (©2001)
"By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world."
