Episode Transcript

(00:00):
chapter 5, verses 1 through 5.

(00:03):
Whosoever believeth that JesusChrist is the Christ is born of
God, and every one that lovethhim that begat loveth him also
that is begotten of him.
By this we know that we love thechildren of God when we love God
and keep his commandments.
For this is the love of God thatwe keep his commandments and his
commandments are not grievousfor whatsoever is born of God

(00:25):
overcome at the world.
And this is the victory thatovercometh the world, even our
fate.
Who is he that overcometh theworld, but he that believed that
Jesus is the son of God.
Now John says something very,interesting here in this
passage.
He says everyone that loves him,that begat which is the Father,
loves him also that is begottenof him, which is his Son, Jesus

(00:46):
Christ.
Therefore, if you love God theFather, you love his Son also.
John goes on to show us thatobedience is the only proof of
love.
Then he says that hiscommandments are not grievous.
His commandments are not aburden, but a privilege.
And an opportunity to show ourlove for him.
Then we see that everyone whobelieves that Jesus is the Son

(01:07):
of God has a conquering fate.
We have a fate that resists theinfections of the world.
We have a strength that enduresthe attacks of the world.
Life is full of things that seekto take our fate away.
there are the sorrows and theperplexities of life,
disappointments and thefrustrations of life.
The failures and discouragementsof life.

(01:29):
But if we believe in the Son ofGod, we believe in a God who
himself went through all this,even to the cross, and who can,
therefore, help us.
We have the indestructible hopeof final victory.
The world did its worst to Jesusand failed.
After the cross came theresurrection.
After the shame came glory.

(01:51):
This same Jesus who is in us andwith us once saw life at its
grimace to whom life did itsworst.
He died, conquered death, andoffers us a share in that
victory.
If we believe that Jesus is theSon of God, we have with us
always Christ, the victor, tomake us.

(02:12):
Victorious.
Oh, hallelujah.
Look at verses six througheight.
This is he that came by waterand blood, even Jesus Christ,
not by water only, but by waterand blood.
And it is the Spirit that bearwitness, because the Spirit is
truth.
For there are three that bearrecord in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and the Holy Ghost.

(02:33):
And these three are one.
And there are three that bearwitness in earth, the Spirit,
and the water and the blood.
And these three agree.
And one.
Now in heaven, we have threethat bear witness and three in
the earth that bears witness.
Now what is the witness of thewater?
It is when Jesus was baptized inwater by John the Baptist.

(02:53):
What is the witness of thespirit?
It is when the Holy Spiritdescended upon Jesus while he
was in the water, doing hisbaptism by John the Baptist.
What is the witness of theblood?
On the cross, Jesus blood waspoured out to God for us when
they pierced him in his side.
Let's look at verses 9 through12.
If we receive the witness ofmen, the witness of God is

(03:16):
greater.
For this is the witness of Godwhich hath testified of his Son.
He that believeth on the Son ofGod hath the witness in himself.
He that believeth not God hathmade him a liar.
Because he believeth not therecord that God gave of his Son.
And this the record that Godhath given to us eternal life.
And this life is in his Son.

(03:37):
He that hath the Son.
Had life and he that had not theson of God, had not life.
Now John continues his attack onthe falsehood of Gnostics.
He reminds the believers thatJesus and Jesus alone is the
answer for the world today.
If you are in him, you haveeternal life, but if you are
not, you are lost in your sins.

(03:58):
Jesus is the way, the truth andthe life.
Alright, let's look at versenumber 13.
These things have I written untoyou that believe on the name of
the Son of God, that ye may knowthat ye have eternal life, and
that ye may believe on the nameof the Son of God.
Now John wanted them to knowthat their salvation was
eternal.
We are eternally saved, and hewanted them to stand firm in the

(04:22):
truth.
Alright, look at verses 14 and15.
And this is the confidence thatwe have in him, that if we ask
Anything according to His will,He heareth us, and if we know
that He hear us, whatsoever weask, we know that we have the
petitions that we desired ofHim.
Oh, I like that.

(04:42):
Listen, anything asked inaccordance to His will, He hears
and answers.
How do we get to the place whereeverything we ask for, we
already know before we ask thatit is according to His will?
Well, John gave the answerearlier in our studies when we
love like God loves and do thethings that are pleasing in his

(05:03):
sight Then will we know his willand everything axed will be in
accordance To our knowledge ofhis will and then we will have
no doubt that our petitions willbe answered All right verse
number 16 if any man see hisbrother Sin, a sin, which is not

(05:23):
unto debt, he shall ask, and heshall give him life for them
that sin not unto debt.
There is a sin unto debt, I donot say that he shall pray for
it.
Now John says here that there isa sin that brings immediately
physical death.
For example, Adonai and Sapphiradropped dead on the spot at the
feet of the apostle Peter forlying to the Holy Spirit.

(05:45):
Some of the Christian believersimmediately died for taking
communion in the wrong manner.
Alright, let's look at verses 17through 21.
All unrighteousness is sin andthere is a sin, not unto debt.
We know that whosoever is bornof God.
Sin did not, but he that isbegotten of God, keep it
himself.
And that wicked one touched himnot.
And we know that we are of Godand the whole world lied in

(06:08):
wickedness and we know that theSon of God has come and have
given us an understanding thatwe may know him.
That is true and we are.
In him that is true, even in hisson, Jesus Christ, that is the
true God and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselvesfrom idols.
Amen.
John makes it clear thatregardless of a sin unto death

(06:30):
or not, all unrighteousness issin.
No sin is special.
God hates all sins.
Period.
Then we see again that all whoare born of God does not
practice sin.
Then he finishes this letterwith a bang.
He let us know that we areuntouchable.
The evil one cannot touch us.
He reminds the believers thatGod is the true God and that

(06:52):
eternal life comes from Him andHim alone.
Don't allow the Gnostics to leadyou from the true God to dumb
idols.
There is only one true God andHim only shall we worship, love,
and adore.
