Recap of Study of Epistle of 1 John

 We will recap our study of the first Epistle of John as we have completed the study.

My take away: God is Love therefore we must love one another if we claim to have God in us and are “born of God”. Also that Jesus, the Son of God is God  who came in a human body. Jesus was 100% God and 100% human for the sake of atoning for the sins of the whole world. 

Any other understanding or teaching about Jesus is false (antichrist) and therefore, we must keep away from such idols that are not the true God, Jesus Christ who is Himself Eternal Life.

Bottom-line: “10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has [d]life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:10-12.

 I trust that everyone reading this will say with absolute assurance that he/she has “Eternal Life”, Jesus Christ, God the Son. If not, this is your chance to believe and trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. 

There is no other plan B for salvation. The alternative is life forever without God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit – aka HELL.

What is your take away from studying 1 John chapters 1-5? Please share with us.

Lord, we thank you for choosing to have be "born of God". Thank you for giving us Jesus. Lord, for the one reading that has not repented and believed and trusted in Jesus Christ; Please give him or her the grace and faith to see you and come to you. 

Lord, we pray for this nation America and the nations of the world. Have mercy on us and save us from the evil one. Amen.

THANKSGIVING

THANKSGIVING Happy summer friends. My eyes were opened to this Scripture I have never seen before. I thought to share: " The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah who was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving and praise, he and his brothers." - Nehemiah 12:8 AMP. Context: Nehemiah and the Jews from the Babylonia exile of seventy years have just finished rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem despite all attacks and intimidation of their enemies. It is now time of dedication. Thanksgiving and praise were so important that some Levite priests were appointed for this purpose. Look who was in charge, "Mattaniah" which means "God’s gift or Hope." It speaks volumes to me. You and I are "in charge of Thanksgiving and Praise" to God in our lives. God is our gift and Hope. In Thanksgiving, we acknowledge, honor and worship The Source - God. Gratitude will elevate your attitude and altitude to God and people. Apostle Paul sums u...

Forgive My Arrogance of Unbelief

  Forgive My Arrogance of Unbelief It just dawned on me that we literally die daily at night and we call it sleep. Then, in the morning, God in His mercy wakes us up to live for another day, perhaps. Please stop and think about it. "Selah."  While asleep, we are temporarily in a different world. When we truly understand what God has set in motion from the beginning of time, how dare us not to trust Him for every second. I now see my foolish arrogance not to wholeheartedly trust, depend and rely on God's love, mercy and kindness for every second. What can we brag about that God has not given us? You may be thinking about material things. No, I am thinking about life itself. Without life, there are no things to acquire and accumulate. Moreover, we only acquire and accumulate what already exists and provided by God in His mercy. I will confess that it has never hit me (with a four by four) to this level before. The words of Jesus, the Creator, in John 14:1 did it. In fact, i...

My Best Compliment "Idiot"

While preaching and evangelizing in the streets today, I got my best compliment. A man in his car shouted, "Stop wasting your time, idiot." I shouted back to him, "God bless you." Then he retorted, "Shut up idiot". He was vexed by the two-sided gospel signs I was carrying that said, "Jesus is Lord, Repent and Believe." On the other side it said, "All have Sinned. Repent, Turn, And Trust Christ.” It's an honor to be called “idiot” for Christ’s sake. Lord, I thank you. Please Lord, bless this man and reveal yourself to him and many others who were today, confronted with the truth of the gospel, and save them. Maybe this vexed man has seen me on previous Sundays preaching at the same spot. This is a confirmation that I should not stop, and especially at this location.  Saints, please join me to pray for this man that we will see him in heaven by God’s mercy and grace. In heaven, he can then apologize and hug me and other Saints. Lol. ...
