1 John 3, 16

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

True love!

What is “love”?

How to recognize it, what is it?

We Germans must particularly so ask because “love” with us has become an ambiguous word. That does not mean anything “love”! In the New Testament writings, the word “ἀγάπη agape” – that in the former secular literature course also gibt- a priori determined term coined because it is provided primarily by the love of God.

provide true love of neighbor as Jesus himself, when the “loves” the neighbor is called with the same word, and thus brought into the light of divine love, the close connection of the two commandments of love in Mt 22, 37-40 expressed has brought.

Therefore we are also John by pointing to Jesus the answer to our question of the true “love.” We can not even really know what is “love us out. “By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us:” Only in “that” in Jesus – who is also here we will just referred to in 1 John 3.5 out of reverence as “ER” – we see love and they see so that we ourselves be moved by it.

Did you not Jesus, you have not love, because Jesus is love. He alone has give his life for you, so that you can receive his love, because his love is love.

We humans can not handle us loving, check your love on hand 1 Cor 13: 1-13 and tell me if that is your love to other people, so only love to your partner.

Pray for that true love of God that is alive in your life, that they of all circumstances and challenges itself is concluded.

1 John 3, 18

Little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and truth!

 Love is not just a word!

John pays attention to the great danger which Israel spoiled and for us, the destruction can bring.

“This people honors me with their lips,” says God complained about Israel (Isaiah 29:13). Even our Christian can easily exhausted in words and in the movement of our tongue. But our reality contradicts more or less blatant what our tongue said. Thus we read in 1 John 1,6.8.10; 2, 4.9 that “If we say ….” Or “Who says ….”, Which is the “lie” of an empty word.

And that light companies and trivializing the sin against which the sharp portion 1 John 3: 4-10 taught, is indeed also a Inanspruchnehmen the Christian state and belonging to God and to Jesus with the mouth, the no of the real life of sin penance and purification is refuted. Thus, among the Christians also much to be talked and raved about “love”, but the actual life is determined by the natural self-preservation. So “loves” you only “with words and with the tongue”.

This is a miserable and dishonest thing. No “love”, you can only “in work and truth”, which here again “truth” the whole reality says. Sure, love begins hidden in the heart. But then it comes out and “constitutes a soul” “in work and truth.”

Live the love of God, because it has been poured into your hearts through the Holy Spirit (Rom 5: 5) .You they just have to bring out and make up your mind for love. A decision as you have taken for God. Have you decided for God, did you decided also for love. For the living love of God which is not exhausted only from the words. Do you love God, you love the people, from all my heart and mind. A love without deeds is not love.

Patch you today sometimes quite aware these words John apart. “Children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth” (1 Jn 3: 18). Examine yourself to hand this word. Love is not just a word, love is much more “fact”. As an iceberg that what you see the iceberg, are the words, the deeds are under water. The iceberg brings in terms of love out anything, your actions will be deeds of love, with the do not you go in other peddling.

Pray for the love in your heart and that this love alive and visible in work and truth. Pray and decide, through prayer, God will support your decision. God is always to will and to succeed.

1 John 3, 20

that if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows everything.

Do not recklessly!

A false and frivolous consolation against the accusations of our heart we could find in the record of the Apostle only if we made him only the word “God is greater than our hearts” to pick out isolated.

Then we mean with a glance in our text to hear it, that God is so “generous” that he called “little things” like overlooks our sins.

We are happy to talk about it as much and irritate Bible passages out of context to fit for us and we really need to change anything. Jesus Christ mutates into a cuddly God, in which each can do anything, because the forgiveness and understanding of our weakness are about everything.

No, God “detect all”, and we stand before Him as those who want to live in bright light and be sued for this very reason also of their hearts.

This Sue we do not evade; we give him right. But then we must to God “size” look, as Luther has done before us.

The love of God but that is so great is their “size” that he gave the only begotten Son, and that “that has set his soul for us.” Any carelessness we then impossible. And it is – it tells us the relationship if we read the text as a whole – the belief in this God’s love against all the accusations of his heart was only able to hold, who himself “the brothers love” and itself exerts the warm forgiveness.

ensure that you pray pray the whole pure heart for forgiveness and you forgive your brother.

1 John 3, 22

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.

What you ask ……!

Now is no longer considered the finding that Israel already proclaimed to God through his messenger Isaiah: “your iniquities have separated you from your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that he will not hear” (Isaiah 59.2).

Now there is the right, erhörliche praying to John does not set limits, as he learned it from his master himself. “. Whatever we ask we receive from him,” So Jesus himself had promised (John 14.13; 15.7; 16.23). John can now testify of Jesus Promised than experience. Whatever the Apostles themselves by praying and experienced to answer to prayer!

But remember this is not, you behave like a wild boar, sinful without end and then all your prayers are answered, all will meet God giveth thee. We often use the promises of God as a carte blanche for everything. Then we complain to God, “Oh God you do not keep your promises,” oh God I poor man, why hast thou cast me.

No read the site please carefully you will receive whatever you ask “because you keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.”. This is a prerequisite for the hearing of your prayers. Reach out more and more to his kingdom after his glory and holiness. Arrange you under his will, doing his will to your will. Humble yourself before your Heavenly Father and you will see that your prayers are answered.

Pray that you get the power a god to lead lives pleasing and ask for the forgiveness of your sins.

Shalom I wish you a blessed and loving day. Love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12, 31), all you do, do for love.

1 John 3, 24

And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him; and by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

The Holy Spirit in you!

At this promise is very clear that our faith is not a mere thought thing and our love is no separate power ourselves.

Who as “believes,” and so “loves” as is “commanded” us, who comes in to a new existence to an intrinsic union with God. This union with God consists in a double “Stay”. Now “remains” the man “in Him”, in God or “in Christ”, as Paul says so frequently like. But it “remains” reversed God, Jesus himself, in the people. Logically these statements are difficult to combine; But in the divine life our usual logic no longer applies.

Paul can the “I in Christ” the ask “Christ in me” in Galatians 2:20 as equal description of the new being to side.

Johannes united in this verse also the two realities together simply that the sentence linguistically thereby almost clumsy.

“He”, God himself in Christ, “abide in him”, the believers and lovers. Can this be true: the Eternal God, the heaven of heavens can not contain (1 Kings 8:27), “remains” in a small human heart? How can this happen? How do we know the truth of this proposition? John responds immediately: “and by this we know that He abides in us. By the Spirit which he hath given us”

John wrote to Christians, which he not only has to give explanations about the Spirit of God. It is “anointed” with the Holy Spirit. But the spirit is therefore not a “thing”, a mere “force” of God, not as the Gnostics an “emanation”, a “discharge”. From deity. He is, “person”, the third person of the Triune God. Therefore Flame and “remains” God in Himself in us. Admittedly, this is an incredible thing! We can not read easily.

But Jesus himself promised: “We will come to him and make our home with him” (1 John 14.32). The calm, clear assurance, however, that the Spirit of God the church Jesus and each individual member of the church “given” is, pervades the entire apostolic witness to the community.

I do not mind the given and I find his work in my life, then I can tell that the Lord abides in me. Open yourself to the work of the Holy Spirit, he will be an integral part in your life, he wants to be your life partner. He will give thee in all things and lead he wants to reveal to you the ways of God for your life. Trust him let yourself fall, he will send you in all help, he is the voice of God in your life.

Pray for the Holy Spirit in you is getting stronger and leadeth thee in all and leads, for he shall direct thy.

Shalom I wish you a blessed day. Today is the day where you can change everything, speak of forgiveness where you have not forgiven and you will experience the positive effects!

James 2, 12

Speak and act as those who will be judged by the law of liberty!

Talking and acting. Your words and actions should be done in the knowledge that you are being judged by God according to the “law of liberty”, that is, the law and the love of God which is written by the Holy Spirit in your heart. Thyself has been awarded, for you is Jesus Christ went to the cross. Thereby you were called to freedom, did you have for doing nothing and meet no law. With this awareness live communion with your brothers and sisters and with the people of the world.

God will judge all that certain people prefer, because that is against the law of love. God does not matter who is in front of him, with God there is no respect of persons.

Since this verse is directed at Christians, it is not about eternal condemnation (Jn 5, 24)., But rather to determine the amount of his reward with reference to the words, deeds and motives of Christians (1 Cor 3: 12-15; 2 Cor 5: 10; Rev. 22, 12).

You can not now go out and to accumulate rewards you and fly up one on one. This does not work because you are not saved from law, but then in the freedom Jesus Christ. Your words and your actions must be out of love one. You should not think about good deeds, but they perform out of love. Jesus Christ is in you win figure up to you they will know who Jesus Christ is.

1 John 1: 5

And that is the message we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

Meet a decision!

God is light, which is a liberating gospel!

You never have to fear that you something dark or ambiguous encounters in God. God is light and never darkness.

How difficult is our human being! As we disappoint by people and making real trust difficult.

How often do we give to our life other promises that we then fail to comply. How easy statements are made, which are difficult to maintain or that we do not really want to meet. How quickly we say to someone, “you can easily anytime at my report”, “I’m always there for you.” Then if it is really applicable and that checks in with you, perhaps only after months or years, often can not or we do not want to remember our promise.

Far too often we talk too fast. Because one day should symbolize pure trust in God, the other day we strive with God in public and my even being particularly authentic. Involuntarily we transfer our tainted image in God.

But God is different, you must give him your whole trust, because there is only pure light in him. John prepares with this in itself so obvious statement that there can be no “darkness” in the “light”. So essentially impossible in the “light” may be “darkness” at the same time so incompatible that remain in Jesus and his Geborgen in God with any sin that. This is not an arbitrary and unnecessarily hard determination; going out from the light nature of God with all your need.

You can not attach to one side of the world and live in sin and live on the other side God Fearing. The one excludes that of other, light and darkness harmonize not together. You can not go every night to the pub and get drunk and thereby confess to God made you free. How you can be free if you auslebst your addictions. God is freedom, God is love, God is light in Him is no darkness. Nobody can two men do not serve you, do not think that it is possible for you. (Matthew 6:24). Go not compromise one meet a Endscheidung and this please 100%. God is 100% light, thou also to light.

Pray for God you the strength is to make a decision.

1 John 4: 8

Who does not love does not know God; for God is love.

Through the love everything is made!

For that to be the negative consequence of the last verse:

“1 John 4.7 Beloved, let us love one another! For love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God and knows God. ”

But for John and for the recipients of his letter was in the set much more. John uses here a form of the word “recognize”, the “~ EGNO” is in Greek. That leaves the listener immediately to the word “gnosis” think of the word that had become the boasting self-designation of so serious fighting by the apostle movement. This movement accused the municipalities: Your “believes” yes just what the Apostles say to you; but we “recognize” God himself. We have advanced on the way philosophical or religious mystical “knowledge” of God and who “know God” in our large teaching system. John can not engage in an examination of these systems and to a debate with all their statements.

He puts the question: What is with you with the “love”?

Mag sound their words of their “knowledge” still so confident and shiny, not living in love. Therefore “recognized” this knowledge loose men in truth God at all. At its true essence, they go by with all their speculations. “For God is love.” Everything is profitable without the love of anything to nothing.

You like everything can possess everything have any knowledge, you have not love, it is good for nothing, for nothing. Everything that is not worked from the love of God will perish. Only love will persist across all eternity beyond.

Pray for that whatever you do, knitted is through the love of God. Through love it existed have.

1 John 4: 11

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

In the salutation “Dear” is especially the be loved by God resonate here. The “οὗτος” is exactly as in John 3:16 is not a mere “so”, not even “as much” given me back a ausrechend here. The “so” the old hit the meaning better. “So”, “οὗτος” means “in this way”.

It is about the love of God that is not generally only there and not only divine greatness is, but in the gift of loved ones and the most precious as expiation for the ungodly, sinners and enemies (Rom 5,5) has its unique character. Who “they” love really learns and accepts, the “may” not help, and in turn, “love” now.

He is the love of God experienced “guilty”. And yet “to” we, unfortunately, always be unloving and need the haunting memory of our “duty” as they are John the communities here. It is our love to each other have some of the specialized nature of God’s love in itself and must be supporting, forgiving, merciful, coping Helping love.

Such love “debt” we the other when and because we have received from God himself. It is not a special “power” if we love; we do not deserve for special praise. How much we may love, again and again and still a lot more we have another love guilty and never get away with it at one end (Rom 13,8).

Once again, more is done to us here realize how important love is. Love is all without the love is all NOTHING. We are today we owe to love because God loves and he has given his Son for us. Jesus himself tells us to love one should recognize you.

Pray for the love of God is visible to you and your life. Thank God for this love, thank God for His Son Jesus Christ.

Galatians 5: 18

So as the fall of a condemning all people led so also leads the righteous actions of a all men to justification of life.

Legal system of one for all people.

The sin brings condemnation by itself and affects all people. By the fall in paradise, we are all born sinners. Adam and Eve were expelled from paradise because they have not resisted the temptation. How well you live henceforth in the sphere of Satan is the ruler of this world. If you reject God and His revelation in your heart (that is, their conscience) are engraved or explains in the written word (Rom 2: 12-16).

Likewise is spiritual salvation – the “acquittal, the launched lead” – and to be all men a concrete reality, God’s gracious gift of life through faith in Jesus Christ must be received.

You can resist in the name Jesus Christ said Mr. Chung of Satan. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father only through Him (John 14: 6). Give glory to Jesus Christ, ask forgiveness of your sins and accept the forgiveness as free gift. Then the Creator God’s order Wider Made, you get eternal life and free access to Paradise, the New Jerusalem.
