NOVEMBER 22 READING…1 JOHN 5
John shares the absolute truth that anyone that genuinely believes that Jesus is the Son of God is born of God. This always ties to the truth that is we genuinely love God we will keep his commandments. For we who love God, His commandments are not burdensome…our keeping them flow out our love for Him. Because we are born of God this world has no power over us…for those who are born of God have overcome this world. Both heaven and earth bear witness to Jesus as the Son of God, Messiah. The Godhead bears witness…the Spirit, the word, and the sacrifice bear witness. We are called to believe these witnesses…if we do not we remain condemned in our sin. John says he wrote all this that we may know that we have eternal life because we have believed in the Name of the Son of God…and so we may continue to believe all the days of our lives. Because we belong to Him we can have confidence that He hears us when we pray, and that He will always answer. Because we are born of God we no longer live in sin, but desire to live in His righteousness…including keeping ourselves from idolatry of any kind.
Please share your thoughts.
