STUDY TEN:
A sinner is betraying their soul, ignoring their Spirit… A sinner allows their judgement to be clouded. Sin is defined by not allowing your actions and reactions to come from the Spirit, your Spirit within… Jesus appeared so that He could teach us how to be more aware, so that we can draw from the Spirit within more often… The person living in Him, our Saviour, may fail, but they recognise that they have failed… They are human, but they do their best to work with and through and by the Spirit. The person who keeps sinning will have only their sin for company. And, that won’t be very good company. The person who keeps sinning will know only the subsequences of their sin, and will know no other way but sin, will be able to see nothing else but sin, sin in themselves and in a sinner… People who continue to sin will be lost to sin. People who do not repent will have no one to ask for their repentance (no one will be asking or offering…) Jesus knows the answers, the way out, so open your heart to His teachings. The Christian must always be self-aware, and truthful with themselves, and others, about those truths they have discovered in their nature… To do this, we must be open to God, and to be open to God, we must do this…
STUDY ELEVEN:
John then warns us that Jesus says it is not enough simply to make the decision, and have faith that it is there and part of you, embossed, by decree… You must make the effort to keep hold of Salvation… You must be conscious of making it alive in you, and part of your working soul… You must openly and continually follow in the Lord’s way. Be open to seeing failure, be open to the chance of rebirth, and a brand new chapter. Do not be lost to despair by falling into it. If you listen to the Spirit, within you, which you do and must, if and should He live within you, then you will know in your heart that to say a thing is not enough to be it… You will see the importance of admitting your weakness(es’), because if the Lord is within you, then you will realise all this, and if the Lord is within you, and you do/see all these things/truths because you love and follow Him, you will find that you need to do more than say to be. You will know and submit to the importance of admittance, because the Lord will have opened up your heart to true care… Foolish people, all of us, who stray, and let themselves be manipulated, or persuaded, are of the devil… Jesus appeared to tend and teach and tame the flock that is human life. He came to give Holiness to Humanity, so that one could mean the other… A person of God will truly see, but not just see or acknowledge, will actually admit to their sins and sinning… A Christian is someone whom, when God is before them, will admit their sinful nature unreservedly… A non-Christian, or someone who is not with God at the/that moment, is someone who will not/is not willing to see their own sin. One is an obedient, conscientious child… The other is one with no recognition, of danger, of self, of other struggling or growing children, of their parent(s’)…
STUDY TWELVE:
From the beginning, the word was spake, and the Lord, Son, and Holy Spirit were there to hear of it, know of it, see it, record it… We must listen to them. What John recorded in this verse was disbelief, owned by the people Jesus came to save, and Jesus trying to get through to them, trying to reason with them, get them to take a leap of Faith, based on the truth of the matter… We are not to be surprised when the Lord showeth his true power, for Jesus said it would come. We are supposed to have Faith in Jesus, and trust in His Father, our Lord. We will know we have passed from the death of life, to the true life, which is eternal, when we possess Faith in Jesus. Someone who hates his brother is someone distracted from Jesus, for we have not listened to what He has said, and have not believed Him when He has taught, we are all brothers’ in God… If we hate our brother, we must hate Jesus, too, for He is our brother. He is each of us, for we are all made of the Lord, & Jesus is He incarnate. John is saying that if we know, in the deepest place of our heart, that we have Jesus dwelling in it, and are right with Him, then we can trust and employ our inner feelings, because we trust them, as the Lord and Saviour is at the heart of them. Only feelings from Him should be trusted and employed. It works because when you have Faith in Jesus, you are given the wisdom to know the difference, and what sets these feelings apart… The Lord is truly in your heart. Giving it all up to Jesus, our Trinity, will show you the real difference.
