A Study from the Book of 1 John
Do not love the world or anything in the
world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world--the cravings of
sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and
does--comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires
pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as
you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have
come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they
had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed
that none of them belonged to us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One,
and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know
the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that
Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the
Son.
No one who denies the Son has the
Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. See that what you have
heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in
the Son and in the Father. And this is
what he promised us--even eternal life.
1 John 2:15-25
It is
very easy, even when you have made the decision to follow Christ, even when you
know that Christ is your Savior, for your love for God to get perverted and
redirected into other areas of your life. In this message we will look at the
key to keeping our love for God pure and undivided.
Check back tomorrow morning for the worship set we have planned.... including a new song for the family at NRN.
