Scriptures used:
- 1 John 2
- 1 Corinthians 13
Subject:
- John is writing to exhort the believers to love the Lord and love one another.
- Sin: miss the mark and so not share in the prize.
- Read 1 Corinthians 13, this describes love.
- He exhorts them that they have an advocate with the Father, if they keep His commandments.
- We KNOW that we know Him if we keep His commandments. We don’t love Him unless we do what He says.
- We are to exercise our faith and overcome the wicked one.
- Choose to not love the world, and the things in it that are “good”. This is lust and pride.
- The things of the Lord are eternal, the things of the world are temporary.
- Stay close to whom God has given to us. Submit ourselves to them, hear their word to be perfected.
- When we think we are worthy or think something we do makes us worthy to enter into heaven, we are denying Jesus.
- But if we abide: stay, continue, dwell, endure, in Him, we will receive the prize.
- Don’t be seduced. You have the Holy Spirit, don’t be moved off of it, stay there.
- Doing righteousness is submitting and standing and going forth in the Gospel, and bringing it unto others.
