Answers?
1. The spirit is from God if it's faith abides in God. It would teach us the truth, like we had the hunch or instinct that it is a truth not a false doctrine
2. Little children is from God because they can conquer their fears. They believe the one who is greater than their fears is God.
3. There is love and mercy in the Spirit of Truth, there is hatred, deceit and anger in the spirit of falsehood.

Answers:
1. Because it is God's commandment to love one another.
2. His Son died on the cross, to cleanse us in our sins by His Blood. And He was raised up after 3 days.
3. Whoever confesses the Jesus is the Son of God or the Messiah, he is remained in him by his own faith in Christ.
4. God is love. Perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears has not reached perfection in love
5. We love[ because He first loved us. Keeping God's Commands. (this is not bullshit! it tells about love of God!) If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For the person who does not love his brother he has seen cannot love the God he has not seen. And we have this command from Him: The one who loves God must also love his brother.
6. verses 6 made an impact for the lesson today, it says, "They are from the world. Therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Anyone who knows God listens to us;"
