Description: There are many telling us how to get to know God or at least “the God within us”. The Apostle John is going to give us a “check list” on how we can know whether a prophet is false or not. We ARE NOT supposed to believe every spirit and WE ARE to test them, because there are many false ones out there.
Description: 1JN 3:16-18 BY THIS WE KNOW LOVE, BECAUSE HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US. AND WE ALSO OUGHT TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR THE BRETHREN. 17 BUT WHOEVER HAS THIS WORLD’S GOODS, AND SEES HIS BROTHER IN NEED, AND SHUTS UP HIS HEART FROM HIM, HOW DOES THE LOVE OF GOD ABIDE IN HIM? 18 MY LITTLE CHILDREN, LET US NOT LOVE IN WORD OR IN TONGUE, BUT IN DEED AND IN TRUTH.
Description: 1JN 1:5 THIS IS THE MESSAGE WHICH WE HAVE HEARD FROM HIM AND DECLARE TO YOU, THAT GOD IS LIGHT AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL. The Apostle John wants our joy to be full and he know that sin throws shade on our Joy. Our sin doesn’t change Jesus, however, it does affect us.
Description:The Apostle John makes it clear that any person who claims to be of God and doesn’t believe that Jesus Christ is the Holy and Anointed Son of God, killed and risen again for the sins of mankind, is not of God.
Description:As we continue our study in 1st John, the Apostle John makes it clear that we can not hate our brother and say we live in the light of God’s truth. True fellowship with Jesus results in Christ-like love for others.
Description: Knowing Jesus is much more intimate than just saying that we have knowledge of Him. John tells us that if we truly know Jesus, we will live to do His will.
