Study Notes
Teachings on Love and Faith
- Love is defined as God sending His Son as an atoning sacrifice (1 John 4:10).
- True teachings, words, and actions are evaluated by their alignment with genuine faith.
- No one has ever seen God; this emphasizes the faith that underlies belief (1 John 4:12).
Living in Love
- Love is made complete by living in this world like Jesus (1 John 4:17).
- Acknowledging Jesus Christ's incarnation is a sign from God (1 John 4:2).
- The confidence in approaching God is that He listens when we ask according to His will (1 John 5:14).
Testimonies and Atonement
- Jesus came by water and blood, symbolizing His baptism and sacrificial death (1 John 5:6).
- Three testimonies bear witness: the water, the blood, and the Spirit (1 John 5:8).
- Believers in the Son of God carry His testimony in their hearts (1 John 5:10).
Sin and Its Consequences
- A specific sin is highlighted as leading to death, which indicates serious spiritual consequences (1 John 5:16).
- Those born of God cannot continue sinning, underscoring a transformation in believers (1 John 3:9).
Understanding of the Last Times
- The "last hour" refers to the current age leading up to Christ's return and serves as a warning (1 John 2:18).
- Those who left the faith were not truly part of it; their departure signifies their lack of genuine belief (1 John 2:19).
Role of the Holy One
- Believers receive an anointing from the Holy One, guiding them in truth (1 John 2:27).
- Confidence before God includes the ability to ask and receive from Him (1 John 3:21-22).
