Walking
in the Light
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a
day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three
years. Gods
Not Dead!
“13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me ” Philippians
4:13 New
King James Version (NKJV)
An overview; “This epistle is a discourse upon the principles of
Christianity, in doctrine and practice. The design appears to be, to refute and
guard against erroneous and unholy tenets, principles, and practices, especially
such as would lower the Godhead of Christ, and the reality and power of his
sufferings and death, as an atoning sacrifice; and against the assertion that
believers being saved by grace, are not required to obey the commandments. This
epistle also stirs up all who profess to know God, to have communion with him,
and to believe in him, and that they walk in holiness, not in sin, showing that
a mere outward profession is nothing, without the evidence of a holy life and
conduct. It also helps forward and excites real Christians to communion with God
and the Lord Jesus Christ, to constancy in the true faith, and to purity of
life.“ -
Matthew
Henry Concise
Dear
Saints,
Today we
prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of 1 John Chapter 1 & 2;
“The apostle prefaces his epistle to believers in general, with evident
testimonies to Christ, for promoting their happiness and joy. (1-4) The
necessity of a life of holiness, in order to communion with God, is shown. (5-10)
Chapter 2 The
apostle directs to the atonement of Christ for help against sinful infirmities.
(1-2)
The effects of saving knowledge in producing obedience, and love to the
brethren. (3-11) Christians
addressed as little children, young men, and fathers. (12-14) All
are cautioned against the love of this world, and against errors. (15-23) They
are encouraged to stand fast in faith and holiness. (24-29)”

Matthew
Henry Concise
In chapter 1 The
apostle opens in the beginning; (see 1 John 1:1-4)
by honoring Jesus the Word
of life. He says the
believers should be (see 1 John 1:5-10) walking and
working in the light remembering where we came from; “10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in
us. ”
1
John 1:10
New King James Version (NKJV). In
chapter 2 The apostle reminds us to avoid sin; (see 1
john 2:1-2) and if we do sin Jesus is still our advocate. We believers should keep His commandments (see 1
John 2:3-11) and love one another. Our
sins are forgiven in Jesus name's sake (see 1
John 2:12-14) and He is our savior having paid for all of our sins. Our
sins are forgiven in Jesus name's sake (see 1
John 2:12-14) and He is our savior having paid for all of our sins.
“28
And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have
confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 29 If you know that He
is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of
Him.”
1
John 2:28-29 NKJV. These verses remind us that if we want to see
heaven and be with Jesus (see John
3:6-8)
we must be born again. “8
I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my
heart.””
Psalm 40:8
NKJV. Examine you heart saint
(see Romans
6:23)
all we give up when we accept Jesus is the sin which hurts and kills us. When we put Jesus at the center of our heart
we will (see Ephesians
5:8)
walk in the light.
Do
you want to trust God? If the answer is yes; today is the day of your
