            6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.

2.         John continues a discussion concerning the relationship between God and Man.  The discussion becomes serious as John asserts that love is the component that God looks for in man when He wants       to see who is with Him or not with Him.  How we treat our fellow man indicates whether or not we love God.
