Fellowship With God

First John was written by the aging apostle John.

“Fellowship with God” Unlike the other apostles, he does not address his letter to any church or any particular person. He writes to all Christians, old and young.

Chapter 2 verse 12 to 14 He calls Christians by a tender word “teknie” – which means “born ones” or bairns”. God is dealing with His very own born-again children.

Fellowship with God:

“You may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have Life in His Name. That those who believe in Christ might Know that they have eternal life.

John longs to bring his hearers into intimate fellowship with the Father and The Son, that their joy might be full. 1 John 1 verses 3 and 4; 2 verses 13 and 14.

Christ, who was God, took on flesh and dwelt with people so they would know how much God loves them {us}.

John says we not only must believe like Christians, but we also must act like Christians.

If we claim to have fellowship with Him, yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth 1 John 1 v 6.

John exalts God in His epistle.

God is Light 1 verse 5

God is Love 4 verse 8 and 4 verse 16.

God is Righteous 2 verse 29.

God is life 5 verses 11 and 12.

HAVE ASSURANCE

STAND STRONG against false teachers {strong message Anti-Christ those that oppose Christ}

KNOW AND UNDERSTAND your lives are Transformed through faith in Our Lord and Our Friend.

Enjoy reading 1 John and enjoy, understanding more about ‘Fellowship with God”.

God Bless
