Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers 1 John 2: 7-17

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

The commandment to love is both old and new, Jesus gave love a fresh expression and meaning not only by showing respect, but by self sacrifice and servant hood. Love is the identifying mark of a Christian 2:7

Young men describe those who are spiritually strong because they keep the word of God in their hearts. They read, meditate and become doers of the word James 1:22

No Christian can love this evil world system and claim to have the love of the Father, here is a definition of the way the devil would attempt to hoodwink Christians 2: 15-16 The lust of the flesh – evil cravings and wrong desires. The lust of the eyes – things that look good (covetousness). The pride of life – trusts in ones own sufficiency power and resources, despising Gods law


MEMORY VERSE

And this world is fading away, along with everything it craves. But if you do the will of God, you will live forever 1 John 2:17 N.L.T.

We should walk as Jesus walked 1 John 2:1-6

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Never be afraid to ask Jesus to plead your case, He has already won it Romans 8:33-34 Hebrews 7:24-25

Jesus is the atoning sacrifice for our sin, His death satisfies the wrath of God and paid the death penalty for our sin. In doing so Jesus satisfied Gods just requirement and removed our sin forever. 2:2

How do we know we belong to Jesus Christ? 2:3

MEMORY VERSE

He who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk just as He walked 1 John 2:6

That which we have heard and seen and touched 1 John 1:1-10

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Like many of the early readers of Johns epistle we have not seen Jesus in the flesh, but we have the eyewitness account of Him. We can certainly trust their eye witness accounts about Jesus 1:1

Our fellowship with other Christians is only possible because of our living relationship with Jesus Christ 1:3

To teach that a Christian is no longer capable of sin is deception at its worse, closely followed by the claim that a Christian has no sin to confess because of Christ’s sacrifice 1:8-10

MEMORY VERSE

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9

Jesus restores and commissions Peter John 21:15-25

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Do you really love Jesus? are you his friend? Are you willing to follow and serve him? That’s the real test. 21:15-19

“Lord you know all things” Jesus wounded Peters heart in order to make Peter fit for the high honour of Shepherding the Lord’s sheep. 21:17

Like Peter we tend to compare our lives and callings to others, Jesus response to us is the same as his response to Peter, what is that to you? you follow me. 21:22

MEMORY VERSE
Then Jesus said “follow me“ John 21:19b N.L.T.

Jesus invites you to come and dine! John 21:1-14

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

The disciples had fished all night but caught nothing! has this been your experience? their answer is yours also 21:6

I like to think that Jesus made the fish all 153 swim into that strong net what does that suggest to you? 21:11

Simon Peter was the disciple who pulled in the net I wonder if he remembered Jesus word some three years earlier I will make you a fisher of men? Gods promise to you will surely come to pass if you don’t give up 21:11

VERSE TO REMEMBER

Jesus said unto them, come and dine John 21:12 K.J. Authorised Bible
