And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Study Note
The mutual indwelling of believers and God is confirmed by two criteria: keeping his commandments and 'the Spirit which he hath given us.' This verse pairs obedience and Spirit as co-witnesses to genuine fellowship with God, anticipating John 14:23 ('if anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come and make our home with him'). The Spirit-gift as a mark of divine presence reflects Paul's similar argument in Romans 8:16 ('the Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God'). The verse closes 1 John 3's great section on love and marks a transition to 4:1-6's concern with discerning the Spirit — the same Spirit that gives assurance must also be tested.
