God is out to make us practically righteous – by transforming our thoughts and behavior – as we continue to place our faith in Him.
We have the transformative power of God residing within us. And that could only mean one thing. Jesus was the Son of God and the Savior of the world. And when He promised to give us the Spirit to live within us, He had meant it and delivered on it.
Denying Jesus is one of the oldest sports known to mankind. But at the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter what men think. We should worry a lot more about what God has to say on the issue.
John had more than enough witnesses to support His assertion that Jesus was the Son of God. And in these verses he is going to point out three of them.
We don’t just mimic Jesus, we become Christ-like in our speech and conduct because we are being made into His image from one degree of glory to another.
It is because Jesus is faithful that our faith in Him is always well-placed and never disappointed.
Our ultimate victory over this world is dependent upon the work of Christ and our faith in what He has accomplished for us.
God is molding and perfecting us, out of love, into the likeness of His Son. And one of the main ways we show our love to God is by obeying His commands.
Our new birth is made available to us by the grace of God and through faith in His Son. That faith not only results in our new birth, but our subsequent victory over sin and death.
When I love others the way God has loved me, I am actually showing love to Him.
The real issue is that of belief. Belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior, sent by God to die for the sins of men.
Our love, like God's, should have the best interest of others in mind.
God’s love is directly tied to His holiness and justice. These qualities are not in conflict with one another within the nature of God.
God sent His Son to die for us. And while that may appear to us to be a strange way of expressing love, it does not change the fact love is exactly what it was.
John will talk about Jesus laying down His life for us. And he will challenge us to do the same for others.
