Recently, well for the pass 3 weeks? I have been attending daily prayer meetings ( mini bible study). We have done books of 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude and now doing James. Its been quite an interesting journey. I never knew I could read the bible in a whole new light. One that shines upon its interesting factor and realistic factor. Everything in the bible really speaks the truth and it is amazing how even though it was written SO many years ago, it still readily applicable to our lives.
1 John 1: We learnt that this letter that John wrote was to reassure us Christians of our faith we have in him. To walk with him and enjoy his fellowship. We should walk in the light and away from darkness. Darkness in this case meaning falsehood or false teachings. When you walk in darkness you walk without God. John was trying to warn us about false teachings. Teaching us on how we had to be honest and transparent before God. Confessing before him and opening our hearts to him.
1 John 2: We should set ourselves apart from this world. We are not of this world and should not conform to the world. We should set our eyes upon the ultimate goal that will make us achieve the eternal life we long for and hope for. We must not have the desires of the flesh, eyes and pride. We cannot serve two masters at the same time.
1 John 3: We must LOVE one another. We love because he first love us. This was an old command but yet John said it is a new commandment, only because we now know how to express this love through the works we witness through Jesus. By the Holy Spirit that he has given us we believe in his name and love one another and to obey him.
this is just abit of it....
