For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!

Whoever believes in the Son [Jesus Christ] has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him

Psalm 147:10, 11

His [the LORD's] delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.

Men or women who boast in their material things or their abilities do not please God. It is those that fear the Lord and do His commands, which John says demonstrates a believers love for the Lord, which delights the Lord. Your fear of the Lord has two aspects: wisdom (the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom Job 28:28; Psalm 110:10) and knowledge (fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge Pro. 1:7), which is also related to wisdom. With both wisdom and knowledge, one that fears the LORD hates sin and evil (Pro. 8:13), in particular pride and arrogance both of which brought Adam down. Proverbs 15:33 goes further and says the fear of the LORD "is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor." Our life needs to be one of humility to deal with the destructive rising of pride that occurs in each one of us, time and time again (Psalm 16:18).
