1 John 5 comments – by Sherry

Nice little summary of last lesson if you want to share (I send to daughters and friends!) :

1 John 5 (weekly Bible study)
-if you love God you also love him (other people) who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God (everyone on earth) when we love God and keep His commandments
-there are three that bear witness of heaven on earth : the Spirit(Pentecost, baptism and communion) , the water(baptism) and the blood (holy communion)
-you have to believe in the name of the Son of God
-when you ask in His name, we have to know that if we ask according to His will, He hears us
-if you see your brother sinning(if sin not leading to death: doesn’t include blasphemy of Holy Spirit) pray for him and God will help him or her

Promise of God-if you focus on God and don’t sin, the wicked one does not touch you
-we know that we are of God and the whole world is under the sway of the wicked one(has a much stronger meaning in this day and age than before with how far people have moved from God)
-little children keep yourselves from idols(anything that distracts you from God)
-temptation in school: schools are brainwashing from grammar school through college things that are not from God but rather the wicked one; parents are going to homeschooling to protect their children
