00:17 Hi, and welcome back to His Words Are Life.
00:19 I'm Kelly Mowrer. 00:20 Before we read today from the first book of John, 00:23 let's pray together. 00:25 Dear Jesus, thank You for the words that we will be hearing 00:30 today; the words of life. 00:32 We want to abide in You. 00:34 We know that we're going to be reading words from John 00:37 the beloved disciple. 00:39 We want to be beloved of You also. 00:41 We want to show You our love the way that John showed You 00:45 his love. 00:46 Help these words to take deep root in our hearts that we may 00:50 live better lives for You, to Your glory. 00:52 We love You so much. 00:53 Thank You for loving us. 00:55 Amen. 00:57 Again, we're reading today from the first book of John, 01:00 chapter 2, beginning in verse 26. 01:03 And this is the King James Version. 01:05 These things have I written unto you concerning them 01:10 that seduce you. 01:11 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, 01:15 and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same 01:20 anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, 01:24 and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, 01:28 ye shall abide in him. 01:29 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he 01:34 shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed 01:38 before him at his coming. 01:40 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that 01:43 doeth righteousness is born of him. 01:46 Continuing 1 John, chapter 3, and this is the 01:49 King James Version. 01:50 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, 01:55 that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the 02:00 world knowest us not, because it knew him not. 02:03 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear 02:09 what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, 02:12 we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 02:17 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, 02:21 even as he is pure. 02:23 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: 02:28 for sin is the transgression of the law. 02:31 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our 02:36 sins; and in him is no sin. 02:39 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not 02:45 seen him, neither known him. 02:47 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth 02:50 righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 02:54 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth 02:58 from the beginning. 02:59 For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might 03:03 destroy the works of the devil. 03:05 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed 03:10 remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 03:14 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of 03:17 the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, 03:21 neither he that loveth not his brother. 03:24 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, 03:28 that we should love one another. 03:30 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, 03:33 and slew his brother. 03:34 And wherefore slew he him? 03:36 Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. 03:40 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 03:43 We know that we have passed from death unto life, 03:47 because we love the brethren. 03:49 He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 03:53 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that 03:58 no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 04:00 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his 04:07 life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives 04:11 for the brethren. 04:12 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have 04:16 need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, 04:20 how dwelleth the love of God in him? 04:23 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; 04:28 but in deed and in truth. 04:31 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure 04:36 our hearts before him. 04:37 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, 04:41 and knoweth all things. 04:43 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence 04:47 toward God. 04:48 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, 04:51 because we keep his commandments, and do those 04:53 things that are pleasing in his sight. 04:56 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the 05:00 name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, 05:04 as he gave us commandment. 05:06 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, 05:09 and he in him. 05:11 And hereby we know that he abideth in us, 05:14 by the Spirit which he hath given us. 05:18 Continuing in 1 John, chapter 4. 05:20 And this is the King James Version. 05:22 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits 05:27 whether they are of God: because many false prophets are 05:31 gone out into the world. 05:33 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that 05:37 confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 05:41 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in 05:45 the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of 05:48 antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; 05:51 and even now already is it in the world. 05:54 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: 05:58 because greater is he that is in you, than he that 06:03 is in the world. 06:04 They are of the world: therefore speak they of 06:07 the world, and the world heareth them. 06:09 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not 06:15 of God heareth not us. 06:18 Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 06:22 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; 06:27 and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 06:32 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 06:37 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that 06:43 God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might 06:48 live through him. 06:49 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, 06:54 and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 06:59 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 07:04 No man hath seen God at any time. 07:08 If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is 07:12 perfected in us. 07:14 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, 07:18 because he hath given us of his Spirit. 07:21 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son 07:25 to be the Savior of the world. 07:28 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, 07:32 God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 07:35 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. 07:40 God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in 07:45 God, and God in him. 07:47 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the 07:53 day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 07:58 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: 08:04 because fear hath torment. 08:06 He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 08:09 We love him, because he first loved us. 08:14 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, 08:18 he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he 08:22 hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 08:26 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God 08:31 love his brother also. 08:33 We're continuing to read in 1 John, chapter 5. 08:38 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: 08:43 and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that 08:46 is begotten of him. 08:48 By this we know that we love the children of God, 08:52 when we love God, and keep his commandments. 08:55 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: 08:59 and his commandments are not grievous. 09:00 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: 09:04 and this is the victory that overcometh the world, 09:07 even our faith. 09:08 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth 09:13 that Jesus is the Son of God? 09:15 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; 09:20 not by water only, but by water and blood. 09:24 And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, 09:27 because the Spirit is truth. 09:29 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, 09:33 the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 09:37 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, 09:41 and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 09:46 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is 09:49 greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath 09:52 testified of his Son. 09:54 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: 09:59 he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he 10:04 believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 10:07 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, 10:11 and this life is in his Son. 10:14 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the 10:19 Son of God hath not life. 10:21 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of 10:25 the Son of God. 10:26 that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may 10:28 believe on the name of the Son of God. 10:30 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask 10:35 any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know 10:39 that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the 10:44 petitions that we desired of him. 10:46 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, 10:51 he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not 10:56 unto death. 10:57 There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall 11:01 pray for it. 11:02 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 11:07 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that 11:12 is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one 11:16 toucheth him not. 11:18 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth 11:21 in wickedness. 11:22 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an 11:26 understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in 11:30 him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. 11:35 This is the true God, and eternal life. 11:38 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. 11:42 Amen. 11:43 Continuing to read together the second letter of John. 11:48 This is the King James Version. 11:50 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love 11:56 in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have 12:00 known the truth; for the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, 12:03 and shall be with us for ever. 12:05 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, 12:09 and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, 12:12 in truth and love. 12:14 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in 12:18 truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 12:22 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new 12:26 commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, 12:30 that we love one another. 12:32 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. 12:36 This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the 12:40 beginning, ye should walk in it. 12:41 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not 12:46 that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. 12:48 This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 12:51 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we 12:55 have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 12:58 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine 13:02 of Christ, hath not God. 13:04 He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the 13:08 Father and the Son. 13:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, 13:13 receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 13:18 for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of 13:21 his evil deeds. 13:22 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with 13:26 paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face 13:30 to face, that our joy may be full. 13:33 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. 13:36 Amen. 13:37 Continuing now in the third epistle of John. 13:40 This is the King James Version. 13:41 The elder unto the well-beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 13:46 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be 13:52 in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 13:55 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified 13:58 of the truth that is in thee, even as thou 14:01 walkest in the truth. 14:02 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children 14:06 walk in truth. 14:07 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the 14:11 brethren, and to strangers; which have borne witness of thy 14:15 charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their 14:19 journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: because that for 14:25 his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. 14:29 Thank you for being with me today. 14:31 Please join me again next time. 14:32 Goodbye. |
