The Epistles of John, assigned to the writer of the Fourth Gospel and the Revelation, testify that God is love and that love is the test of religion. Second John is written to “the elect lady and her children,” probably a church; Third John is addressed to “the beloved Gaius.”

1 John 4

4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
