1 John 4 18: Perfect love casts out fear. Therefore, fear casts out the perfect love of God from us. We should not be afraid to speak words to an unbeliever that may seem harsh as long as we speak them in perfect Godly love. 1 Corinthians 13 1-4
1 John 5 3: "for this is the love of God that we keep His commandments and His commandments are not grievous"
When you compare Christianity to the other religions of the world, Jesus' yoke is truly easy and His burden truly light. All other religions have complicated systems of rituals and rules that require strict adherence, whereas God's system of rules is not complicated and His rituals are few. Also, unlike the other deities in these other systems of belief, God has sent His spirit to help us obey Him. John 14 4
1 John 5 8: "and there are three that bear witness in earth the Spirit and the water and the blood and these three agree in one"
This verse underscores the importance of baptism, which is emersion in water.
