Shalom I wish you a blessed and victorious day, in the name of Jesus Christ!

1 John 3: 1

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore we, the world does not know, because they did not recognize him.

You’re his child!

There are children of God! And they are not just somewhere other people, John does not speak now of “anyone who … ..” but speaks of “us”. “We” are called children of God, and “we” are there! Nothing ventured is classified within this “we”, shall verify seriously, how it is with him and how he is to God.

It’s not about piety and excellence can make themselves God’s child with you or you should. Then You’d certainly never to the “We” can count, of which John speaks here.

But in reality it is quite different. You can just as you are, come to Jesus and throw up Jesus. Then “called” you to the Father Jesus Christ instantly his child and gives you his love in Jesus and to Jesus sake and tells you that you are now his beloved child. These can and do you need not add to it, everything is pure grace of God. Come as you are and let you pick up there where you now stand in this moment, from dad in heaven.

Pray for that you can classify you into the family of God with all my heart and you can call the Heavenly Father “Papa” from the deep heart, for you are his child. You are a child of God. Through your faith in Jesus Christ

Shalom I wish you a blessed and happy day in the arms of Jesus Christ. Keep you in everything, a grateful heart and let you always aware of what Jesus Christ has done for you.

1 John 3, 2

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and yet is not clearly

become, what we shall be; but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see him as he is.

Daily growth and change!

From God’s incomprehensible love John spoke and “Look!” A he pointed out. That is why he speaks the recipient of the letter now the “lover” of. It confirms it: “Beloved, now we are children of God.” Even if the little sentence in verse 1, “and we are there” would not be original, here we see that John has not thought of a mere “name” child of God without reality ,

But even so, John also knows about that “already and not yet” that all statements of the New Testament are about us Christians their identity.

No new testament asking God’s commandment thinks “perfectionist”; nobody thinks that the church “perfect”, “completed” is. Everyone knows how much reminders that have “sacred” needed to make them really as “holy” life. And Paul shows in Romans 8:23 with rugged clarity the impassable limits of our Neuwerdens, now in our existence. That is why the “eschatology”, the proclamation of the future and longing wait for the all-accomplished works of God is determinative of all statements of the New Testament. The John joins full, even if he “owning” of eternal life, the “Hinübergeschrittensein from death to life”; emphasized (1 Jo Jo 3.14 5.24). Yet he knows it: We are not, “what we shall be.” We are not there yet, so, it was not even apparently! Perhaps John gladly used with this set back against the Gnosis, who wanted to know too well how our completion state will look like.

You do not have to be perfect, and certainly not out of you, because you will fail and despair. You’ll throw yourself in great crises of faith if you try to be perfect, it is and can not prosper. Jesus Christ in you will transform you and lead you step by step to the goal a little closer.

About you change every day and listen to force things in the rest lies strength. In God you can be relaxed and balanced, because he will give you his peace, it hold fast.

Pray for that Jesus Christ is increasing more and more in you and you abnimmst. That the world can see you who Jesus Christ is.

Shalom I wish you a contemplative and good Sunday. Rejoice 0ber everything Jesus has done for you!

1 John 3, 3

Who has this hope – a hope that is entirely tailored to Jesus – holding from every sin away, to be as pure as he.

The hope is alive in our lives! Without “hope” no one can live. But all earthly hopes, so they can energize us and meet some time, but are still births.

We have a “living hope” (1 Pt 1,3), a hope that not with everything else goes by in our lives and makes the very reason also our age bright and livable. It is the “hope” that “relies on him” the believer. This hope is not deceptive, because the one on which we found, not deceptive. You do not end in death because he, to which we hope the death conqueror who is risen.

But even this hope and just they – will now determine us also effective in the reality of our lives.

It is a basic train in the biblical statements about the future that they never serve the sole interest of knowledge or enjoyment of personal happiness. They always act into our present life with power as an incentive. So it is with John, he assures: “. And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure” Let us respect on the wording!

John does not say the church: Those who live in this hope, “must” cleanse or “should” be cleaned. John is convinced it is with the innermost necessity. Here we notice again the freedom of all “morality” and all mere “law” in.

But how then is this “clean” about? John says he “purifies himself, even as he is pure.” The “just as” in Greek has not only a comparative sense, but also a causative sound. In our “hope” to him, which is a, is a “doing” well founded, the like of a living source always new flows of our hope: that fact “some” of our lives here and now.

If its size is really bright before us: “I will be like him,” I can now tolerate nothing in me what to its purity does not fit as a dirty, dark and ungodly.

Pray for Jesus Christ is in you figure that you abnimmst and Jesus Christ is increasing in you.

Shalom I wish you a blessed and successful start into the new week. May the Lord bless your hands work and protect your ways!

1 John 3.5
And you know that he appeared to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

You are bought with precious!

The “white” anyone who is at all Christian.

Jesus throughout the greatness of his love came not to overlook sin, to apologize and to play down, but they “take away”.

That was the whole and sole objective of his mission and revelation.

For us, he has come precisely for this reason, so that we can be free from sin. We should not look away, do not look past their own sins, and not for the sin of the brother and sister, we are called to mutual serve, this includes, to name the sin clear. Or will you be guilty if your brother remains in sin until the last hour and is not recognized for that?

Everyone in the community knows where this “taking away” was what price it cost. Jesus divulged his heavenly glory and was “the Lamb of God, the sin of the world carried away”, through a lifetime by bleeding and dying on the cursed tree. So terrible is the sin, so necessary our liberation and purification of her.

But if Jesus in this bloody Earnest was to “take away” our sins, we should want to keep it?

If the sin of the father, the sacrifice of the Son, the Son demanded the death on the cross for their extinction, then we might consider it harmless and excusable? That’s impossible! Not the rebellion against the law, but the contempt of precious saving act of God in Jesus is John the really frightening thing, and that happens when you take sin lightly. In view of the work Jesus he wants “everyone” in the municipality of sin looks in all its severity.

Recognize how much you have been paid for, it do not come cheap by your persistence of sin.

“And there is no sin in him” in Jesus. It also testifies to Paul, Jesus, “the knew no sin”. Just so he could “be made for you to sin” (2 Co 5:21). Just putting cleanse his blood of all sin.

Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you let go of the sin and the precious price to estimate value.

Shalom I wish you a blessed day fat. A day full of love and peace, so long as it is up to you keep peace with everyone!

1 John 3, 6

He who abides in Him does not sin; the sinner has not seen him and not recognized.

This is in particular a measure of those sets of John who are so “easy” that they need no explanation and Verständlichmachung, and at the same time yet so challenging that we should rebel against it inwardly.

There is a simple way to recognize the undeniable truth of challenging set itself: we try to reverse the sentence: “Anyone who remains in Jesus, sin.” We immediately see that is impossible “He who abides in Jesus, is divorced from sin , No one can simultaneously remain in Jesus and in sin.

Teaches John but sinlessness all real Christians?

Yes and no.

No, he himself stresses with great seriousness, that no one may say: “sin, we have not” (1 John 1.8). He has explicitly spoken of the “confession of sin” (1 John 1.9). And he has counted in 1 Jn 2,1 so that “anyone sins”. That this happens again and again, is because that we do not as we should, could “remain in him”. We are suddenly fallen back in our own lives; and then we sin.

Even Paul, who sees died us in Romans 6:11 as sin, counted in Gal 6.1 so that Chris is overtaken in his case. No “sinless” in themselves are not the believers that Jesus gave himself and his dearly purchased possession were. But then it happens that their sin is unbearable to them that they recognize the incompatibility of “sin” and “Jesus” with pain and now confess their sin according to the word that John and learn forgiveness and cleansing from all sin by the blood attain the son of God anew. Then they are “sinless” because forgiveness through Jesus, the sin-bearer of the world, from every sin cleanse (1jo 1.7) and we in him “God’s righteousness” are (2 Co 5:21).

Pray for the forgiveness of your sins and leave from her, so that Jesus Christ is in you Gestallt. So that the world recognizes you who is Jesus Christ, and they come to knowledge of the truth. The truth is Jesus Christ, to find not only in word but also in your life for the people of the world.

Stretch yourself every day anew, after from holiness, shun sin, and utterly out of your life. Stay in Jesus Christ, every day on new Ask him to help. For it is he who works in the weak powerful, is weak and hear out of you to fight.

Shalom I wish you a blessed day fat. Glorify thy God with all thy will and being, everything you do, do it to honor!

1 John 3: 8

For this purpose the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

 Are you in Jesus, can not you sin!

With every sin, even with an impure thought or an untrue word, we are under the influence of the devil and take part in his rebellion against God.

And if we do not “sin”, but the “sin do”, not only for her “to be rushed”, but they exert conscious and stay in it, then we are not only a momentary temptation, but “are from the Devil” and essentially drawn in his rebellion against God.

In God is the truth and no sin, no unclean thing about him. Which means that everything else is sin and thus of the devil. Make yourself aware that every bad idea draws you into the sphere of influence of the devil, you give him so to use a right you. That needs to know who wants to take sin lightly any.

Conversely, it is so that those who remain in Jesus and is determined and directed by him, not only “does not sin”. In this negative finding, we can not stand still, because our life is continually needed a “Tun”. What the sentence: “He who does righteousness is righteous, even that is righteous.” Here the Greek expresses “even as” not only a comparison of, but has a sound of justification in itself.

Jesus is “justice”; that has John highlighted the question of forgiveness and redemption in 1 Jo 2,1 f. Do we belong to him, the righteous, then from Him also our “doing” a “to do” he justice.

Pray for that you desist from your sins, that the Holy Spirit makes you to overcomers in all. In everything you do, check if it is righteous before God, or if you want you right now indulge in sin. Imagine the question “what would Jesus do”, he would never do wrong and sin. Make thee always aware that sin is no fun, no play, sin is dead, that’s the truth.

Shalom, I wish you a blessed and victorious day, in everything you do. Do everything with God, he will make up your day in his spirit.

1 John 3, 10

In this the children of God and the children of the devil are evidently: who does not practice righteousness is not of God, also he who does not love his brother.

It is the truth that sets us free!

We note it well: John says this of the community! He does not mean: here in the church are the children of God and in the outside world are the children of the devil. Oh yes, especially in the community, we should be able to tell the unvarnished truth, the truth is in the kingdom of God but to holiness and healing. Too often we have to pack things in batting at considering, we trivialize things that the other run to his doom, so we do not hurt him.

John was there when Jesus told the religious, law-abiding Jews with all their religious and moral achievements: “You have your father the devil, and by lusts of your father ye will do.” (Jo 8,44a). That’s why he worries that there may be in the Christian communities “children of the devil”. How can you recognize and distinguish them? They live with the community, listen to her the word, sing the same songs, a good command of the Christian and biblical language. Jesus thinks even to people who can boast: “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? Have we not in thy name cast out demons? Have we not in thy name done many deeds done? ”

Jesus does not deny them that they have all this actually done. Are they not outstanding members of His church?

No Jesus answered them: “I never knew you, you workers of lawlessness” (Matthew 7,22f) So did it again John firmly. “Who does not righteousness is not of God, and who does not love his brother.”

Therefore the essence of lies “sin” in the denial of love, in the “hate” the brother. In 1 John 3:15 we are told: “Whoever hates his brother is a murderer”.

Become aware of this please be aware that it does not work in the community to raise at home or matter to which place holy hands, if you hate your brother, if you think only a bad thoughts about your brother, you are no longer in the sanctification. If that’s your philosophy of faith, it does not matter what you always ask for God to his feet, he will say, I have never known you.

Pray for the Holy Spirit to you the truth revealed about your life and your person so that you can reverse what of everything is not of God. Charging the Holy Spirit one that rudder to take in your life, he will lead you in all right. If he takes you, you’ll never stray from the Kurz. Make him in everything to your advisor, he’ll be a great help.

Shalom I wish you a blessed and lucky day. Rejoice in the Lord always, and look at all of it!

1 John 3, 12

We must not make like Cain, who was of the evil,’dem Devil, `and his own brother murdered there. And why did he murder him? Because `He saw that`s his brother did what was right, as he did evil itself.

Together, together!

Jesus himself is already the beginning of seemingly “hatred” under the fifth commandment and shows us the relationship between the “hate” and “killing”. (. Mt 5,21 f) It shall be told John to 1 John 3:14: “Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer”.

In the life of Cain that is visible in a terrible way. And it appears to him from what sinister reasons “hate” may arise.

John represents the views of Cain’s fratricide expressly the question: “And why he murdered him?” Abel Cain has done no harm. It also attracted no external gain to eliminate the brother. No, Cain hates and murders, “because his works were evil, but his brother’s righteous.” This was apparently in a special Weis, Abel accepted sacrifice as God and Cain’s rejected. But it will also have been already for Cain a constant thorn in the heart, to see the life and character of Abel.

The “hatred” against the brother arises – also in the church Jesus! – Repeatedly from which to us life and service and use of the brother criticized for internal charges. Then we can not bear the sight of the brother (or sister) and want them out of the way have. This is “murder”, even if we raise no external hand against the other.

That is why the Apostle calls for the community entrusted to him: “Do not be like Cain,” even if no one kills in the municipality of the other external. How fast did it happen that we are in the Mist favor of the other, even though we have not done anything how quickly someone is with us in the Mist favor, although not point the prosecution exists. The disease jealousy poisoned the body of Christ, his church that crap favor is rampant. It will be granted no mutual success, rivalries are announced instead of harmony, brotherly love and each other.

We have to rethink if the body of Christ healthy and to grow. We have to make our way to each other, the body of Christ, it is only possible with a progress together. We are individual cells of the body and provide each other with oxygen, no cell of the body can survive on its own.

Pray for the body and that governed together in your life and you head together with your brother.

“NOT LIKE CAIN”

Shalom I wish you a wonderful and blessed day. Look around, have fun at all, and thank your God for everything!

 1 John 3, 14

We know that we have passed from death to life; because we love the brethren. Who does not love remains in death.

He is at us- and the word is highlighted emphasizes in Greek – happen a radical turn.

We have taken an unprecedented step: the step from death unto life! We know this! Furthermore we have a clear and solid certainty “We know that we have crossed paced from death to life”.

On what is this certainty?

On some exciting experience, through which we have gone?

On feelings, meet us?

In amazing powers and spiritual gifts we possess?

The apostle John knows and says it quite differently: We know it, “because we love the brethren.” This is the real miracle and decisive change of our lives that we can “love” natural Ichmenschen and actually “love”.

Paul gave in 1 Co 13, 1-3 the powerful design for this short, simple phrase of John. We can love our brother, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is to us that “love” possible. If you do not really can loving, love with agape, you have a problem in your relationship to God. For God is love, the sacrifice Jesus is love, if your relationship with God is true “love” you and your neighbor will always him with the love of God to confront.

Pray for the “love” in your life, pray for a healthy relationship with God and to people. You receive the love, it is poured out by the Holy Spirit in your heart (Rom 5: 5). Decide a day, the love of life that God has placed you in the heart.
