3:23 上帝的命令就是叫我們信他兒子耶穌基督的名,且照他所賜給我們的命令彼此相愛。
3:24 遵守上帝命令的,就住在上帝裡面,上帝也住在他裡面。我們所以知道上帝住在我們裡面是因他所賜給我們的聖靈。

And
this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ
and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his
commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides
in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

這裡告訴我們關於上帝的命令之內容是:叫我們信祂兒子耶穌基督的名,和彼此相愛!而人手了這樣的命令就會感受到:上帝是我們的居所,而上帝也以我們為祂的居所!這是一種奇妙的關係,而這個關係是靠聖靈來達成。
然而這種奇妙的關係,是因為上帝是無法限量的,祂是創造宇宙萬物的上帝,也透過聖靈住在我們心中。他更以人的樣式顯現,成為弱勢者的朋友與幫助,為完成上帝的救恩而上十字架。
所以,三一上帝與人類的關係是很密切且是自然的,祂保守著我們生命的每以部分。他真的是我們的主!
