Salvation.
Lesson: Near the end of
Chapter 2 through Chapter
3, the focus is on the quali
ties of the "Children of
God." John presents to
believers that some "secret
knowledge" is not neces
sary for Salvation.
Believers know what is
right because they know
Jesus. They should under
stand that the world rejects
them because the world
doesn't know Him. Jesus'
sacrifice allows believers to
live a better life. Believers'
lives are not to be charac
terized by sin. This isn't
perfection! This is a
process, not an overriight
transformation! John refers
to Cain, who killed his
brother Abel (Genesis 4).
Cain's envy of Abel leads
to murder. His illustration
points to the realization that
actions say more about
relationships than do
words. Envy destroys rela
tionships instead of
strengthening them. The
apostle suggests that when
riffs come, and they will,
resolve them as quickly as
possible. Festering riffs
lead to death and destruc
tion. Christ, the believers'
example models real love -
He dies for humanity that
they might live. Living love
means sharing from one's
abundance with others who
don't have. Love is active.
Words matter, but actions
are more important. The
emphasis on love counters
Gnosticism. God knows the
heart.
Life's Application: If
we have all the right words
and do all that we can for
others and love not, we
gain nothing! Paraphrased
from I Corinthians 13:1-3.
There are no secrets to
Salvation; Jesus makes it
?lain for every generation!
o build relationships, we
must share from genuine
love that comes through
Jesus and the Holy Spirit
only. It is not a ritual or a
check list that is done with
out thought, but an honest
love that springs from the
fruits of the Spirit. If we
fake loving God, we can
fool some but God knows
the truth. Corporations and
politicians this goes for you
too.
