Hi, and welcome back
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.17\00:00:19.70
I'm Kelly Mowrer.
00:00:19.73\00:00:20.70
Before we read today
from the first book of John,
00:00:20.72\00:00:23.94
let's pray together.
00:00:23.97\00:00:24.94
Dear Jesus, thank You for the
words that we will be hearing
00:00:24.95\00:00:30.42
today; the words of life.
00:00:30.45\00:00:32.06
We want to abide in You.
00:00:32.09\00:00:34.05
We know that we're going
to be reading words from John
00:00:34.08\00:00:37.94
the beloved disciple.
00:00:37.97\00:00:39.12
We want to be
beloved of You also.
00:00:39.15\00:00:41.91
We want to show You our love
the way that John showed You
00:00:41.94\00:00:45.33
his love.
00:00:45.36\00:00:46.33
Help these words to take deep
root in our hearts that we may
00:00:46.34\00:00:50.12
live better lives
for You, to Your glory.
00:00:50.15\00:00:52.66
We love You so much.
00:00:52.69\00:00:53.91
Thank You for loving us.
00:00:53.94\00:00:55.32
Amen.
00:00:55.35\00:00:57.50
Again, we're reading today
from the first book of John,
00:00:57.54\00:01:00.27
chapter 2,
beginning in verse 26.
00:01:00.30\00:01:03.53
And this is the
King James Version.
00:01:03.56\00:01:05.32
These things have I
written unto you concerning them
00:01:05.35\00:01:10.37
that seduce you.
00:01:10.40\00:01:11.52
But the anointing which ye have
received of him abideth in you,
00:01:11.55\00:01:15.83
and ye need not that any
man teach you: but as the same
00:01:15.86\00:01:20.61
anointing teacheth you
of all things, and is truth,
00:01:20.64\00:01:24.42
and is no lie, and
even as it hath taught you,
00:01:24.45\00:01:28.55
ye shall abide in him.
00:01:28.58\00:01:29.81
And now, little children,
abide in him; that, when he
00:01:29.84\00:01:34.57
shall appear, we may have
confidence, and not be ashamed
00:01:34.60\00:01:38.37
before him at his coming.
00:01:38.40\00:01:40.00
If ye know that he is righteous,
ye know that every one that
00:01:40.03\00:01:43.78
doeth
righteousness is born of him.
00:01:43.81\00:01:46.43
Continuing 1 John,
chapter 3, and this is the
00:01:46.46\00:01:49.52
King James Version.
00:01:49.55\00:01:50.52
Behold, what manner of love the
Father hath bestowed upon us,
00:01:50.53\00:01:55.96
that we should be called
the sons of God: therefore the
00:01:55.99\00:02:00.08
world knowest us not,
because it knew him not.
00:02:00.11\00:02:02.97
Beloved, now are we the sons of
God, and it doth not yet appear
00:02:03.00\00:02:09.04
what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear,
00:02:09.07\00:02:12.83
we shall be like him; for
we shall see him as he is.
00:02:12.86\00:02:17.08
And every man that hath this
hope in him purifieth himself,
00:02:17.11\00:02:21.42
even as he is pure.
00:02:21.45\00:02:23.37
Whosoever committeth sin
transgresseth also the law:
00:02:23.40\00:02:28.41
for sin is the
transgression of the law.
00:02:28.44\00:02:31.49
And ye know that he was
manifested to take away our
00:02:31.52\00:02:35.99
sins; and in him is no sin.
00:02:36.02\00:02:39.24
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth
not: whosoever sinneth hath not
00:02:39.27\00:02:45.51
seen him, neither known him.
00:02:45.54\00:02:47.10
Little children, let no
man deceive you: he that doeth
00:02:47.13\00:02:50.83
righteousness is righteous,
even as he is righteous.
00:02:50.86\00:02:54.73
He that committeth sin is of
the devil; for the devil sinneth
00:02:54.76\00:02:58.52
from the beginning.
00:02:58.55\00:02:59.52
For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that he might
00:02:59.53\00:03:03.74
destroy the works of the devil.
00:03:03.77\00:03:05.49
Whosoever is born of God doth
not commit sin; for his seed
00:03:05.52\00:03:10.68
remaineth in him: and he cannot
sin, because he is born of God.
00:03:10.71\00:03:14.09
In this the children of God are
manifest, and the children of
00:03:14.12\00:03:17.74
the devil: whosoever doeth
not righteousness is not of God,
00:03:17.77\00:03:21.20
neither he that
loveth not his brother.
00:03:21.23\00:03:24.23
For this is the message that
ye heard from the beginning,
00:03:24.26\00:03:28.01
that we should love one another.
00:03:28.04\00:03:30.49
Not as Cain, who
was of that wicked one,
00:03:30.52\00:03:33.57
and slew his brother.
00:03:33.60\00:03:34.80
And wherefore slew he him?
00:03:34.83\00:03:36.71
Because his own works were evil,
and his brother's righteous.
00:03:36.74\00:03:40.31
Marvel not, my
brethren, if the world hate you.
00:03:40.34\00:03:43.84
We know that we have
passed from death unto life,
00:03:43.87\00:03:47.61
because we love the brethren.
00:03:47.64\00:03:49.48
He that loveth not his
brother abideth in death.
00:03:49.51\00:03:53.54
Whosoever hateth his brother
is a murderer: and ye know that
00:03:53.57\00:03:58.47
no murderer hath
eternal life abiding in him.
00:03:58.50\00:04:00.94
Hereby perceive we the love
of God, because he laid down his
00:04:00.97\00:04:07.04
life for us: and we
ought to lay down our lives
00:04:07.07\00:04:11.12
for the brethren.
00:04:11.15\00:04:12.40
But whoso hath this world's
good, and seeth his brother have
00:04:12.43\00:04:16.75
need, and shutteth up his
bowels of compassion from him,
00:04:16.78\00:04:20.20
how dwelleth the
love of God in him?
00:04:20.23\00:04:23.07
My little children, let us not
love in word, neither in tongue;
00:04:23.10\00:04:28.31
but in deed and in truth.
00:04:28.34\00:04:31.11
And hereby we know that we are
of the truth, and shall assure
00:04:31.14\00:04:36.14
our hearts before him.
00:04:36.17\00:04:37.40
For if our heart condemn us,
God is greater than our heart,
00:04:37.43\00:04:41.65
and knoweth all things.
00:04:41.68\00:04:43.19
Beloved, if our heart condemn
us not, then have we confidence
00:04:43.22\00:04:47.45
toward God.
00:04:47.48\00:04:48.45
And whatsoever we
ask, we receive of him,
00:04:48.46\00:04:51.33
because we keep his
commandments, and do those
00:04:51.36\00:04:53.50
things that are
pleasing in his sight.
00:04:53.53\00:04:56.00
And this is his commandment,
That we should believe on the
00:04:56.03\00:05:00.80
name of his Son Jesus
Christ, and love one another,
00:05:00.83\00:05:04.81
as he gave us commandment.
00:05:04.84\00:05:06.51
And he that keepeth his
commandments dwelleth in him,
00:05:06.54\00:05:09.80
and he in him.
00:05:09.83\00:05:11.62
And hereby we know
that he abideth in us,
00:05:11.65\00:05:14.90
by the Spirit
which he hath given us.
00:05:14.93\00:05:18.07
Continuing in 1 John, chapter 4.
00:05:18.10\00:05:20.86
And this is the
King James Version.
00:05:20.89\00:05:22.44
Beloved, believe not every
spirit, but try the spirits
00:05:22.47\00:05:27.86
whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are
00:05:27.89\00:05:31.75
gone out into the world.
00:05:31.78\00:05:33.27
Hereby know ye the
Spirit of God: every spirit that
00:05:33.30\00:05:37.45
confesseth that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is of God:
00:05:37.48\00:05:41.55
and every spirit that confesseth
not that Jesus Christ is come in
00:05:41.58\00:05:45.38
the flesh is not of God:
and this is that spirit of
00:05:45.41\00:05:48.89
antichrist, whereof ye
have heard that it should come;
00:05:48.92\00:05:51.83
and even now
already is it in the world.
00:05:51.86\00:05:54.20
Ye are of God, little children,
and have overcome them:
00:05:54.23\00:05:58.47
because greater is he
that is in you, than he that
00:05:58.50\00:06:03.33
is in the world.
00:06:03.36\00:06:04.33
They are of the world:
therefore speak they of
00:06:04.34\00:06:07.76
the world, and the
world heareth them.
00:06:07.89\00:06:09.40
We are of God: he that knoweth
God heareth us; he that is not
00:06:09.43\00:06:15.82
of God heareth not us.
00:06:15.85\00:06:17.97
Hereby know we the spirit of
truth, and the spirit of error.
00:06:18.00\00:06:22.81
Beloved, let us love one
another: for love is of God;
00:06:22.84\00:06:27.75
and every one that loveth is
born of God, and knoweth God.
00:06:27.78\00:06:32.12
He that loveth not knoweth
not God; for God is love.
00:06:32.15\00:06:37.03
In this was manifested the love
of God toward us, because that
00:06:37.06\00:06:43.47
God sent his only begotten Son
into the world, that we might
00:06:43.50\00:06:47.98
live through him.
00:06:48.01\00:06:49.42
Herein is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us,
00:06:49.45\00:06:54.89
and sent his Son to be
the propitiation for our sins.
00:06:54.92\00:06:58.98
Beloved, if God so loved us, we
ought also to love one another.
00:06:59.01\00:07:04.96
No man hath
seen God at any time.
00:07:04.99\00:07:08.11
If we love one another, God
dwelleth in us, and his love is
00:07:08.14\00:07:12.89
perfected in us.
00:07:12.92\00:07:14.22
Hereby know we that we
dwell in him, and he in us,
00:07:14.25\00:07:18.51
because he hath
given us of his Spirit.
00:07:18.54\00:07:21.63
And we have seen and do testify
that the Father sent the Son
00:07:21.66\00:07:25.95
to be the Savior of the world.
00:07:25.98\00:07:27.97
Whosoever shall confess
that Jesus is the Son of God,
00:07:28.00\00:07:32.12
God dwelleth in
him, and he in God.
00:07:32.15\00:07:35.50
And we have known and believed
the love that God hath to us.
00:07:35.53\00:07:40.55
God is love; and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in
00:07:40.58\00:07:45.27
God, and God in him.
00:07:45.30\00:07:47.50
Herein is our love made perfect,
that we may have boldness in the
00:07:47.53\00:07:53.13
day of judgment: because as
he is, so are we in this world.
00:07:53.16\00:07:58.67
There is no fear in love; but
perfect love casteth out fear:
00:07:58.70\00:08:04.19
because fear hath torment.
00:08:04.22\00:08:06.43
He that feareth is
not made perfect in love.
00:08:06.46\00:08:09.51
We love him,
because he first loved us.
00:08:09.54\00:08:14.32
If a man say, I love
God, and hateth his brother,
00:08:14.35\00:08:17.98
he is a liar: for he that
loveth not his brother whom he
00:08:18.01\00:08:22.12
hath seen, how can he
love God whom he hath not seen?
00:08:22.15\00:08:26.36
And this commandment have we
from him, That he who loveth God
00:08:26.39\00:08:31.95
love his brother also.
00:08:31.98\00:08:33.78
We're continuing to
read in 1 John, chapter 5.
00:08:33.81\00:08:38.10
Whosoever believeth that Jesus
is the Christ is born of God:
00:08:38.13\00:08:43.16
and every one that loveth him
that begat loveth him also that
00:08:43.19\00:08:46.92
is begotten of him.
00:08:46.95\00:08:48.24
By this we know that we
love the children of God,
00:08:48.27\00:08:52.00
when we love God, and
keep his commandments.
00:08:52.03\00:08:55.28
For this is the love of God,
that we keep his commandments:
00:08:55.31\00:08:58.98
and his
commandments are not grievous.
00:08:59.01\00:09:00.95
For whatsoever is born
of God overcometh the world:
00:09:00.98\00:09:04.29
and this is the victory
that overcometh the world,
00:09:04.32\00:09:07.10
even our faith.
00:09:07.13\00:09:08.51
Who is he that overcometh
the world, but he that believeth
00:09:08.54\00:09:13.39
that Jesus is the Son of God?
00:09:13.42\00:09:15.35
This is he that came by water
and blood, even Jesus Christ;
00:09:15.38\00:09:20.81
not by water only,
but by water and blood.
00:09:20.84\00:09:24.52
And it is the Spirit
that beareth witness,
00:09:24.55\00:09:27.29
because the Spirit is truth.
00:09:27.32\00:09:29.86
For there are three that bear
record in heaven, the Father,
00:09:29.89\00:09:33.29
the Word, and the Holy
Ghost: and these three are one.
00:09:33.32\00:09:37.11
And there are three that bear
witness in earth, the Spirit,
00:09:37.14\00:09:41.11
and the water, and the blood:
and these three agree in one.
00:09:41.14\00:09:46.00
If we receive the witness
of men, the witness of God is
00:09:46.03\00:09:49.58
greater: for this is the
witness of God which he hath
00:09:49.61\00:09:52.86
testified of his Son.
00:09:52.89\00:09:54.47
He that believeth on the Son of
God hath the witness in himself:
00:09:54.50\00:09:59.12
he that believeth not God
hath made him a liar; because he
00:09:59.15\00:10:03.99
believeth not the record
that God gave of his Son.
00:10:04.02\00:10:07.01
And this is the record, that God
hath given to us eternal life,
00:10:07.04\00:10:11.65
and this life is in his Son.
00:10:11.68\00:10:14.25
He that hath the Son hath
life; and he that hath not the
00:10:14.28\00:10:19.07
Son of God hath not life.
00:10:19.10\00:10:21.20
These things have I written unto
you that believe on the name of
00:10:21.23\00:10:25.12
the Son of God.
00:10:25.15\00:10:26.12
that ye may know that ye have
eternal life, and that ye may
00:10:26.13\00:10:28.41
believe on the
name of the Son of God.
00:10:28.44\00:10:30.69
And this is the confidence that
we have in him, that, if we ask
00:10:30.72\00:10:35.13
any thing according to his will,
he heareth us: and if we know
00:10:35.16\00:10:39.78
that he hear us, whatsoever
we ask, we know that we have the
00:10:39.81\00:10:44.29
petitions that
we desired of him.
00:10:44.32\00:10:46.09
If any man see his brother sin
a sin which is not unto death,
00:10:46.12\00:10:51.16
he shall ask, and he shall give
him life for them that sin not
00:10:51.19\00:10:56.01
unto death.
00:10:56.04\00:10:57.01
There is a sin unto death:
I do not say that he shall
00:10:57.02\00:11:01.02
pray for it.
00:11:01.05\00:11:02.02
All unrighteousness is sin: and
there is a sin not unto death.
00:11:02.03\00:11:07.41
We know that whosoever is born
of God sinneth not; but he that
00:11:07.44\00:11:12.71
is begotten of God keepeth
himself, and that wicked one
00:11:12.74\00:11:16.70
toucheth him not.
00:11:16.73\00:11:18.01
And we know that we are of
God, and the whole world lieth
00:11:18.04\00:11:21.80
in wickedness.
00:11:21.83\00:11:22.80
And we know that the Son of God
is come, and hath given us an
00:11:22.81\00:11:26.28
understanding, that we may know
him that is true, and we are in
00:11:26.31\00:11:30.94
him that is true, even
in his Son Jesus Christ.
00:11:30.97\00:11:35.10
This is the true
God, and eternal life.
00:11:35.13\00:11:38.93
Little children, keep
yourselves from idols.
00:11:38.96\00:11:42.25
Amen.
00:11:42.28\00:11:43.25
Continuing to read together
the second letter of John.
00:11:43.26\00:11:48.25
This is the King James Version.
00:11:48.28\00:11:50.57
The elder unto the elect lady
and her children, whom I love
00:11:50.60\00:11:56.15
in the truth; and not I only,
but also all they that have
00:11:56.18\00:12:00.38
known the truth; for the truth's
sake, which dwelleth in us,
00:12:00.41\00:12:03.94
and shall be with us for ever.
00:12:03.97\00:12:05.55
Grace be with you, mercy,
and peace, from God the Father,
00:12:05.58\00:12:09.47
and from the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of the Father,
00:12:09.50\00:12:12.37
in truth and love.
00:12:12.40\00:12:13.97
I rejoiced greatly that I
found of thy children walking in
00:12:14.00\00:12:18.77
truth, as we have received
a commandment from the Father.
00:12:18.80\00:12:22.18
And now I beseech thee, lady,
not as though I wrote a new
00:12:22.21\00:12:26.59
commandment unto thee, but that
which we had from the beginning,
00:12:26.62\00:12:29.98
that we love one another.
00:12:30.01\00:12:32.24
And this is love, that we
walk after his commandments.
00:12:32.27\00:12:36.55
This is the commandment,
That, as ye have heard from the
00:12:36.58\00:12:40.11
beginning, ye should walk in it.
00:12:40.14\00:12:41.65
For many deceivers are entered
into the world, who confess not
00:12:41.68\00:12:46.11
that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh.
00:12:46.14\00:12:48.07
This is a
deceiver and an antichrist.
00:12:48.10\00:12:51.33
Look to yourselves, that we
lose not those things which we
00:12:51.36\00:12:55.84
have wrought, but that
we receive a full reward.
00:12:55.87\00:12:58.94
Whosoever transgresseth,
and abideth not in the doctrine
00:12:58.97\00:13:02.75
of Christ, hath not God.
00:13:02.78\00:13:04.29
He that abideth in the doctrine
of Christ, he hath both the
00:13:04.32\00:13:08.61
Father and the Son.
00:13:08.64\00:13:10.01
If there come any unto you,
and bring not this doctrine,
00:13:10.04\00:13:13.63
receive him not into your house,
neither bid him God speed:
00:13:13.66\00:13:18.17
for he that biddeth him
God speed is partaker of
00:13:18.20\00:13:21.38
his evil deeds.
00:13:21.41\00:13:22.38
Having many things to write
unto you, I would not write with
00:13:22.39\00:13:26.41
paper and ink: but I trust
to come unto you, and speak face
00:13:26.44\00:13:30.52
to face, that
our joy may be full.
00:13:30.58\00:13:33.13
The children of thy
elect sister greet thee.
00:13:33.16\00:13:36.40
Amen.
00:13:36.43\00:13:37.40
Continuing now in the
third epistle of John.
00:13:37.41\00:13:40.47
This is the King James Version.
00:13:40.50\00:13:41.86
The elder unto the well-beloved
Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
00:13:41.89\00:13:46.94
Beloved, I wish above all things
that thou mayest prosper and be
00:13:46.97\00:13:52.11
in health, even as
thy soul prospereth.
00:13:52.14\00:13:55.24
For I rejoiced greatly, when
the brethren came and testified
00:13:55.27\00:13:58.77
of the truth that is
in thee, even as thou
00:13:58.80\00:14:01.65
walkest in the truth.
00:14:01.68\00:14:02.94
I have no greater joy
than to hear that my children
00:14:02.97\00:14:06.53
walk in truth.
00:14:06.56\00:14:07.64
Beloved, thou doest faithfully
whatsoever thou doest to the
00:14:07.67\00:14:11.76
brethren, and to strangers;
which have borne witness of thy
00:14:11.79\00:14:15.87
charity before the church: whom
if thou bring forward on their
00:14:15.90\00:14:19.87
journey after a godly sort, thou
shalt do well: because that for
00:14:19.90\00:14:25.32
his name's sake they went forth,
taking nothing of the Gentiles.
00:14:25.35\00:14:29.36
Thank you for
being with me today.
00:14:29.39\00:14:31.39
Please join me again next time.
00:14:31.42\00:14:32.93
Goodbye.
