WORD OF LIFE

WORD of  LIFE   “Worth Considering”   2/16/21    From Ken Smith<><

Tonight as I was doing my mail and wondering what I could send to you that might be helpful in your daily  combat with the enemy of our soul and our Adamic carnal nature that we received from Adam.  And I felt that I could not improve upon what has already been written by John “The Beloved”  as per his personal testimony concerning Jesus Christ, as his LORD.

John writes:
 [We are writing] about the Word of Life [ [a] in] Him Who existed from the beginning, Whom we have heard, Whom we have seen with our [own] eyes, Whom we have gazed upon [for ourselves] and have touched with our [own] hands.    2 And the Life [ [b] an aspect of His being] was revealed (made manifest, demonstrated), and we saw [as eyewitnesses] and are testifying to and declare to you the Life, the eternal Life [[c] in Him] Who already existed with the Father and Who [actually] was made visible (was revealed) to us [His followers].   3 What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may [d] realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a [e] distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah).  4 And we are now writing these things to you so that our joy [in seeing you included] may be full [and [f] your joy may be complete].  5 And this is the message [the message of [g] promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [ [ h] no, not in any way].  6 [So] if we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents].  7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].  8 If we say we have no sin [ refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts].  9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].  10 If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word and make Him out to be false and a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts].  1 John 1-10

See what [ [a] an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [ be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him.  2 Beloved, we are [even here and] now God’s children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [ [b] as God’s children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him [c] just as He [really] is.  3 And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).  4 Everyone who commits (practices) sin is guilty of lawlessness; for [that is what] sin is, lawlessness (the breaking, violating of God’s law by transgression or neglect—being unrestrained and unregulated by His commands and His will).
5 You know that He appeared in visible form and became Man to take away [upon Himself] sins, and in Him there is no sin [ [d] essentially and forever].  6 No one who abides in Him [who lives and remains [e] in communion with and in obedience to Him—deliberately, knowingly, and [f] habitually] commits (practices) sin. No one who [habitually] sins has either seen or known Him [recognized, perceived, or understood Him, or has had an experiential acquaintance with Him].  7 [g] Boys (lads), let no one deceive and lead you astray. He who practices righteousness [who is upright, conforming to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action, living a consistently conscientious life] is righteous, even as He is righteous.  8 [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [ takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].  9 No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and [h] habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.  10 By this it is made clear who take their nature from God and are His children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children: no one who does not practice righteousness [who does not conform to God’s will in purpose, thought, and action] is of God; neither is anyone who does not love his brother (his fellow [ I ] believer in Christ).  11 For this is the message (the announcement) which you have heard from the first, that we should love one another, 1 John 3:1-11

Please read this over many times and let the truth sink deep into your heart of hearts as I also need to do the same.   John is my favorite of the Apostles, the one most like Jesus from what I feel down deep.  All would do well to read the 5 writings that we have from John in a very serious way.   With “The Jesus Revelation”, I have some notes if you would like them.  ken@trinity-aloha.org
