I am joining this lesson to join with others to get deeper into the Word and be able to be used by the Holy Spirit in every aspect of my life. My heart is the lost/missions where I am and going. I just returned from my last trip to Nepal on a medical trip. What I have come back with is a word .....seeing through the eyes of compassion.... God Bless everyone in the class and may we be changed to change others

Q2. Anger, Hatred, and Murder
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 5. Love in Action (1 John 3:11-24)
Anger and bitterness toward someone even if we treat them well will grow like a cancer. Anger and hatared in the heart is also like murder of the heart and we must decide to forgive this person because we cannot love this person as Jesus has called us to do so until we forgive them... It is through the Holy Spirit that we are able to do this... -
Those who do not make a pracitce of sinning b/c God's life is in them is in God's family . Those who do not live rightously and who do not love other believers does not belong to God. Lawlessness shows up in actions and lack of love for our brothers....we must love one another.

Q2. The Purifying Hope
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 4. Sin Is Lawlessness (1 John 2:28-3:10)
We know that there will be a second coming and no one knows when As Christians we need to prepare and be ready for his coming and live as He has called us to live. We may not be Here for the second coming but our second coming could be any second......we could be taken ( die) at any moment and we need to know that if we did die in the next minute we would be at home with the Lord.......SO UNTIL THEN WE NEED TO PREPARE AND SHARE SO OTHERS TOO WILL BE READY....HOLY SPIRIT HELP US!!!!!! -
Q5. Sin and Righteousness
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 4. Sin Is Lawlessness (1 John 2:28-3:10)
The false teachers denied sin and its teaching...they were living their own rules of self. We know that those who do not do what is right are children of the devil and those who do live right are children of God -
Q4. God's Seed and Habitual Sin
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 4. Sin Is Lawlessness (1 John 2:28-3:10)
when we are born again His Spirit comes to live within us and we are unable to live and do as we please as we did in the past. His Spirit is a witness in our lives to live a life pure as He is pure. What we did before is not as easy as it was. We must continue to seek more of Him and cont to build our relationship . As a Born again Christian our life has been made new....like Him -
Lawlessness shows up in our actions and lack of right and wrong....disregarding what God has told us how we need to live....Loving the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul and loving your neighbor as yourself. As we live out side of these laws we are living for self no one able to tell you what to do ie God. Certainly not a way of life that has or is preparing for His return

Q2. The Purifying Hope
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 4. Sin Is Lawlessness (1 John 2:28-3:10)
The Bible as we know and believe is God's Word and teaches us how He expects us to live. He tells us that he will return and we must be ready to go home with Him and be judged. He tells us we must be born again and when we are the Spirit lives in us and testifys to our spirit how we should live and prepare..to be ready and He provides us grace in order to live what we are called to do b/c we cannot do it on our own..... -
Being born again is a spirituall birth that takes place when we receive Jesus as our Savior. The Spirit comes to live in us and he testifies to our spirit right behavior.

Q4. Abiding in Jesus
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 3. Antichrists, Anointing, and Abiding (1 John 2:18-27)
To abide/continue/remain in Jesus is spending time in our relationshipw with him ie.....spending timein the Word, in prayer and fellowshiping with other believer in friendships and church( of course we are the church) THe way we can know those not abiding is by their fruits......pulling away and more involved in the world (is easy to fall back into) the enemy is waiting for us in every turn.....we much keep on God's armor at all times..... -
Q3. Witness of the Spirit
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 3. Antichrists, Anointing, and Abiding (1 John 2:18-27)
After Jesus left he at Pentacost gave us the Holy Spirit and as believers we have Him living in us and Jesus said he would reveal all truth and teaches us everything we know..... so if we stay in our fellowship with Jesus He will point us to all that Jesus taught and left for us We must continue our relationshpw with Jesus daily in His Word, prayers and with the church family...He will commmunicate to us all we need if we do our part Praise the Lord -
Q2. The Anointing
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 3. Antichrists, Anointing, and Abiding (1 John 2:18-27)
When we become true believers we receive the Holy Spirit and with Him comes the anointing. The evidence is usually shown by how close of a relationship with have with Jesus. It is an empowerment we have but many do not exhibit it either b/c they dont believe it is for today and was only for Pentacost or they just lack the faith -
Q1. Antichrists
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 3. Antichrists, Anointing, and Abiding (1 John 2:18-27)
The antichrist that John refers to is the one just before the end he will pave the way for satan. spoken of in Revelation ... the antichrists of today are those who are false teachers... heretics -
God has placed teachers in the church to equipt us.... the Holy Spirit reveals to others possibly things that we dont fully understand. When we hear these teachings the Holy Spirit will reveal all truths so we as believers are responsible to research these teachings to make sure they are not from another antichrist

Q4. Abiding in Jesus
JPS replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 3. Antichrists, Anointing, and Abiding (1 John 2:18-27)
ABiding in Christ is spending time with Him.....Studying the Word.....Getting to know his likes and dislikes and how we are to live... although if we are abiding in Him the Holy Spirit will guide us who is living in us...Also through communicatiing with Him in prayer.....doing these we can walk more like Him and be an example so others will want what we have.....Holy Spirit Help us Someone not abiding will not be spending time with Him... will be finding fault in the church.... will beging to comprimise their walk and how they live You will know them by their fruits...
