I.rMon Trxt: "John' Mere AUont Sin ml Salvation," I John I., S to ii., O iililen Text: I John I., ! I.r.suil Coiiiiiientary by tlie Kcv. 1. M. Strarna. 5. "This then is the message whl.-h wo have heard of Him anil declar.) unto you, that God is light aad in Hi.n is no darkness at all." John wrote his jrospel that wa miijht Ix'liPvethat Jesus is th. I'hrist, tlio Son of God. au-1 believing iiavrt life in Him (John xx., :S1. He wrote this epi.stlo Hint we who believe niisht know that we have et.-rnnl lite, ho full of jot un.l not xin (Chapters v., 1J; I., 4; ii., 1). Knowing Jesus personally, having ln-ar.l and seen and looked upon und handled Him. ho declares Him as the Word of Lift, that we, too, may have fellowship with hiin. and witii th Pather, and Willi Jesus Christ. 6. "If j-e say that we have fellowship with Him and walk In darkness, we lie and do not tell tlie truth." l'rom the bejrinninjr of tho Iiible story liht is siifrirestivo of (io.l and darkness of sin and sntan. The wast n and void ami dark condition ot things in Gen.'l.,'2, seems to have been the result of a judgment, whii-h must have come upon thd earth, for, according to Isa. xiv., is, l. ., eonipare.l with Gen. l.,2,'(iod did not create the earth waste aud void. Isa. xxxiv., II, and Jer. iv., 2:1, are tho only other two daces where we have the same combina tion of Hebrew words as iu Gen. I., 2, aud In each ease a judgment is manifest. 7. "ihit it wo walk in the lilit, as ne Is in the light, wo have fellowship one with another, and the blood of J.-sus Oliri--t His Son cl'-ansi'tii us from all sin." Light shine;., discovers, beautifies, purities, for light is of God. Not only did Jesus Christ fcav, "I am the light of the world," but He also silid to His own, "Ye nr. tho light of the world; let your liffht so shine lefore turn that they may see your good works ntid glorify your l ather which is in heaven" (Math v., 11, lii). If we walk with God, we cannot but walk in tho light, but walking with God implies at least two things viz., humility, such as is not natural to us, and perfect agreement with iod about every thing ( Mi.:, vb, 8. margin; Amos iii., 3). S. "If we say that we have no nin, we deceive ourselves, aud tlie truth is not in ti." There are those who conclude from the previous verso that all sin, root and branch is i "moved from their being:'. Put such a thought is contrary to the teaching of Scripture, and surely tho Holy Spirit in piecing the statement of this verso ju?-t wh re lie has sought to correct any such false teaching. While we nroin these mor tal bodies tho flesh or old nature remain in us and lusteth against the Spirit, bat the Spirit is also in us as children of God Wy faitli in Christ Jesus and keeps us from the tilings which otherwise wo might do (Gal. v., 17, lt. V.I. 9. "If we confes our sins, lie is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to eicaiiso us from all unrighteousness." While in the mortal body always delivered to death for Jesus' sake i. e., tlie death of self or the flesh or sinful nature (II Cor. iv., 11), if we sin ngaiiibt God, as all are linlite to do, hero is our comfort, that in stant confession of sin brings instant for giveness through the blood of Christ, and then we must go on more watchfully and prayerfully. 10. "if we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." J.din is writing to those who are children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, fur only such as have received Christ are children of God (John i., 121. Others are children of the devil even though they may be very religious, according to our Lord iu John iii., 4 1. 2-1. "My little children, these things write I unto you that ye sin not, nnd if any man sin we have an advocate with the Pather, Jesus Christ tho righteous." Our marching orders day by day are to sin not. We have been redeemed by the blood of Christ, that the righteousness of the law might be. fulfilled in us who walk not after tho flesh, but aftertheSpirit(l:om.viii.,4). Surely t '.'. has made full provisions for us lo live this life which He would have us live lo His glory by our advocate or para clete with Him, Jesus Christ tlie right eou, aud by our para-iete in us. the Holy spirit; yet so weak are we and often so un watchful that notwithstanding the abun dant provision we grieve both Father, Son and Spirit. 2, "And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the fins of the whole world." Propitiation here siguiiies atonement, reconciliation, sacrifice, and that provided bv God through ! Christ is sufticieiit for all tho world. There is no forgiveness of gins apart from Him and His great work,iut in and through Him there is sufliclent for all who will ac cept Him, even for every soul on earth if tiiey will come. How shall they come if they do not hear? "-And ii.j,y ,ve do know that w know Him if we keep His command ments." Not faultless conformity, fr' there is none such on earth, nor cv. r except in Christ, but a h.-nrly ':-yaP J of and willing subjection to Ilis:', i' - veal.-d will. He Himself saif ..jj tl,.,t hath My commandments, . j,,.,.,,,.;!. them, he it Is that lov.-.. ?.aJ K,-eiLlu keepeth not His Vommandmc-i.ts, is a liar, and the truth ju hjm So hkilJflll -atan in tj tu t u , ing ii i.-ot. lv-. ...... . .

He must be received into the heart and that is the Scriptural sense of believ ing (John i.. 12). 5. "But whoso keejx-th His word, in him verily is the Jove of God perfect. 1. H'-reby know we that we are in Him." When we receive letters from those whom we love, we treasure them and read them many times, and live on them. A mere casual reading ot a letter, and that but once, would not indicate much love for the writer. How, then, can those be said to love (ioi who care not for His word? ;. "H-j that saith he abideth In Him, ought himself also so to walk, even a-i He w alked." He could say, "The Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father." Ifit lie also said, "As th Father hath sent Me, so send I von," and "Hethat eateth 3Ie, even he ahall live by 5Ie" ( John vi., 57; it., 21 1. Now He wa-i here wholly for God, Speaking the words of God, doing the will of God. always pleasing God. There is no other way for us, and wo must be willing to renouie-e self, deny self, die daily unto self that His life may be mainifest la us, or els..- prove ourselves unworthy ol Hisname.
