THE WAY OF VICTORY
TEXT - I JOHN 5.1 - 13
5.1 Whosoever believeth that
Jesus is the Christ is
born of God:
and every one that
loveth him that begat
loveth him also
that is begotten.
5.2 By this we know
that we love the
children of God when
we love God
and keep
His commandments.
5.3 For this is the
love of God,
that we keep His
commandments,
and His commandments
are not grievous.
5.4 For whosoever is
born of God overcometh
the world:
and this is the
victory
that overcometh
the world,
even our faith.
5.5 Who is he that
overcometh the world.
but he that believeth
the Jesus
is the Son of God.
5.6 This is he that came
by water, and blood,
even Jesus Christ;
not by water only,
but by water and blood.
And it is the Spirit
that beareth witness,
because the Spirit is
truth.
5.7 For there are three
that bear record
in heaven,
The Father,
The Word,
and the Holy Ghost,
and these
three
are
one.
5.8 And there are
three that bear witness
in earth,
the Spirt,
and the water,
and the blood:
and these three
agree
in one.
5.9 If we receive
the witness of men,
the witness of God
is greater:
for this is the
witness of God
which He hath
testified
of His Son.
5.10 He that believeth
on the Son of God
hath the witness in himself:
he that believeth not God
hath made him a liar;
because he believeth not
the record
that God gave of his Son.
5.11 And this is
the record
that God hath given us
eternal life,
and this life is in His Son.
5.12 He that hath the Son
hath life,
and he that hath not
the Son of God
hath not life.
5.13 These things
have I written unto you
that believe on the name
of the Son of God; that
ye may know
that
ye have eternal life,
and that ye might
believe
on the name of the
Son of God.
Many professing Christians
are indeed unstable and uncertain
in their walk. Some seek for
something beside "just believing"
in Christ.
Seeking to be better
or to find stability
they forget
the
simplicity
of the Gospel.
Here John tells us that
physical birth
of Jesus here
on earth
who came by
Promise to Abraham,
to the Sons of Abraham,
lived here on
earth among men,
as a PERFECT SINLESS MAN
"the Son of man"
as he called Himself.
Again, he
claimed to have
and be
the SOURCE OF LIFE.
John 14.6
I am the Way
the Truth, and
the Life,
No man cometh
unto the Father,
but by me."
Again John earlier
spoke in the book
of John that
John 1.1 - 4
In the beginning was the
Word,
and the Word was with God
and the
Word
was God.
The same was
in the beginning
with God.
All things were made
by him
and without him
was not
anything made
that was made.
In him was life,.
and the life
was the light
of men.
Let us consider:
Our Faith is the victory
that overcomes the world.
We are to follow
in the steps
of our Savior.
He alone is our example
if we are to
live in victory.
Matthew 6.24
No man can serve
two masters;
for he will either
hate the one,
and love the other;
or else he will hold
to one,
and despise the other.
Matthew 6.33
Seek ye first
the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness,
and all these
things
shall be
added unto you.
I Corinthians 15. 3 - 4
For I delivere unto you
first of all
that which I also received,
how that Christ died
for our sins
according to the
scriptures;
and that he was
buried,
and that he rose again
the third day
according to the
scriptures.
Next, let us consider:
HIS PROMISE TO RETURN
John 14.1 - 3
Let not your heart be
troubled. Ye believe in God,
believe also in me;
in my Father's house
are many mansions;
if it were not so,
I would have told you.
I go to prepare a
place for you;
and if I go
and prepare a place
for you,
I WILL COME AGAIN,
that where I am,
there ye may be
also.
His disciples all
served Him faithfully
believing
He was coming
back for them
and
that they were
to go
and
tell
others
JESUS IS LORD
We have eternal life in Him.
This book was written
so that we might know
Jesus as our Savior
and that
we might have LIFE
ETERNAL
He promised to come
take us home to be
with Him
We are to watch and
be ready.
Christ is going to
come
any time
soon
and it will
be
just for
those
who
know Him.
My next blog
will talk about
the Coming of
Christ
LIKE ABRAHAM
WE ARE
ON A JOURNEY
BY FAITH
WE ARE LOOKING
FOR A CITY
NOT MADE BY HANDS
COME JOURNEY WITH ME
