Hi Reine,

I am enjoying I John very much. Would enjoy posting notes and comments.

I John Chap 3 verses 23-

I Jn 3:23
23        And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
(KJV)

If you believe on Him you have everlasting life John 3:16


I Jn 3:24
24        And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
(KJV)

You abide or mansion with Him.

You can tell by their actions, compassion and love, whether they have the gift of the spirit.

Love can also be discipline. Giving the warning is love.


I Jn 4:1

CHAPTER 4

1        Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
(KJV)

The claim to be Christian preachers sometimes even but their teaching is false. Are they after the word of God to set you Free? Test them.


I Jn 4:2
2        Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
(KJV)

Psalms 22 tells us exactly how Jesus would be crucified and it was written thousand years before the fact.

I Jn 4:3
3        And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
(KJV)

Trying to teach something different.


I Jn 4:4
4        Ye are of God, little children, (John shows such tenderness) and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
(KJV)



Jesus gave preparation before he sent the disciples-"I send you out as sheep among wolves".


Matt 10:16
16        Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
(KJV)

Wolves=satan's children.


If Jesus has one hundered sheep and one goes astray, He will go after him to save him. That is the love of our Father.


The Shepherd protects the sheep, even if He sends you amongst the wolves. You have to have the faith to believe that. If you don't believe it, stay home.


I Jn 4:5
5        They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
(KJV)

The world understands them.


I Jn 4:6
6        We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
(KJV)


You can tell the difference.


I Jn 4:7-21
7        Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

They have compassion. They care. They know how to practice tough love. II Thess. Chap 3:6- shows you how to handle a disorderly brother.


I Jn 4:8
8        He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
(KJV)



They just don't have it. It's a stranger. God is Spirit, Light, Love, and Truth. He is our Father.


9        In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Through Him we could see that light and dwell in that Light. As long as you believe, you can walk in that Light. God made it manifest. It was manifest in the body of Christ when He walked among us. He doesn't leave us alone. He gives us wisdom and knowledge so that we are far brighter than the serpent race who care about nothing.

10        Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (atonement)for our sins.


He sent His only begotten Son. "God with us".


11        Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.


How can you help it? I am talking about Christian brotherhood and reaching out to those that are lost. He is their Father also.

12        No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Dwelleth-abideth, mansion.

His love matures in us so we can serve God and know what His plan is.


13        Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.


That gift, Charisma. It cost the Son his life. On repentance our sins are washed away. This gift is free to us but it cost Him an awesome price.

14        And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.


John was an eye witness. We have not seen God because He is in the Spirit and a different dimension than us. He looks just like Christ because when you have seen the Son you have seen the Father. John 14 documenting that. At the 7th trump all will be changed into that dimension where you can see everything, even our Father, but in the form of the Son.

15        Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, (don't question that) and he in God.

That is only if you believe of course. That is what is necessary. You already have the Holy Spirit, because He dwells within you.

16        And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.


The shekinah glory rests upon that person because Shekinah means "God is there". God wants to be with His children that believe. He leads and guides them. It is His will that all come to repentance and have a change of heart.

17        Herein is our love made perfect, (matured) that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.


You can have boldness because you have repented of your sins and all you have is pay day, being in the presence of God receiving your inheritance.

18        There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.


Mature love casts out fear. There is nothing to fear because if God is for you, who can be against you?

Love sometimes can be hard. Love can cause people to be enablers if they aren't careful-that is not true love. That is not the kind of love that helps them. Love can be discipline. If there is no discipline to help others, then there is not much true love.

19        We love him, because he first loved us.


20        If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?


It wouldn't add up. You are told in the Word of God how to deal with a brother you could hate if you were not a Christian. You deal with them as written I Thess 3:6. You lay the hammer down. You correct them and don't give in. You make them toe the mark or don't have them around. Especially in verse 10 if they won't work, don't feed them. Talking about bums, lazy people, druggies or what have you. Don't feed them. Do not be an enabler. Love can be tough love. Stick with it. That shows love for your brother.

21        And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
(KJV)


Not as Cain and Able. Cain was of the wicked one as we learned in Chap. 3 verse 12, "of" means progeny. It was in his blood and spirit. Will he have an opportunity to convert? We will see in the millineum. He has to choose, but he has murder against his record. That will be pretty hard.


I Jn 5:1

CHAPTER 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 of him.
(KJV)



If you believe that Christ was born from above. If you believe God loved Him, then God loves you.


I Jn 5:2
2        By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
(KJV)


The oneness we have in Christ when we follow the commandments. We can be like lambs that are sent out that could be ever so helpless, but we have the power from the name of Christ.


I Jn 5:3
3        For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
(KJV)

Because the truth sets you free. It does not chain you up. It lets you enjoy the best things in life, family, friends, success, properity, if you do what is right. It pays dividends. He is living with You. The Spirit is right with you. That is what protects you. If you turn away from God, satan is waiting with a big hammer.


I Jn 5:4
4        For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: (Got that. Absorb it) and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ)
(KJV)


Heb 11:6
6        But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
(KJV)


It's a promise. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. You either believe or you don't. You believe or you are a fraud. With that faith you can overcome the world.

That faith knows the Shepherd is watching over you, protecting you. Believe the Shepherd. He is real. We are at war but we have the victory because God is in us and we are in Him.

Hi Ahiah,

It isn't a word for word transcription. I hope it is helpful for those who like written notes. I do transcribe word for word on occasion.

Thanks for your comments. Appreciated.
