"And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming." 1John2:28
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.This then is how we know we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything." 1John3:16-20
"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, becuause the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are form God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not form God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood." 1John chaper 4:1-6
"Everyone who beieves that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. This is love for God: to obey his commands. ANd his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God." 1John5:1-5
"If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whoes sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray aout that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. We know that anyone born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of GOd, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. ANd we are in him who is true-even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Dear children, keep yourselves from idols." 1John5:16-21
Amen and Amen. Halleluiah and Hosanna!
