My awesome, Grandchildren, and Annika, Kaleigh, Kate, Gavin; whom I love and pray for every day: “Little children, LET NO ONE 1DECEIVE YOU. He who practices [does] righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. HE WHO 2SINS IS OF THE DEVIL, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED [revealed], that He might DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL… We know that WE HAVE PASSED FROM DEATH TO LIFE, BECAUSE WE LOVE THE BRETHREN. He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever 3hates his brother IS A MURDERER, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:7-8, 14-15) 1planaō: to lead away from the truth. 2hamartia: to miss the mark, to violate God’s law. 3miseo: to detest, despise, loathe. John starts out with a warning, don’t be deceived, don’t be led away from the truth. John teaches us that if someone chooses to live a life of sin they are of the devil. If we try to practice a life away from sin we can’t be in fellowship with sinners. When we get saved we become aware of our new life in Christ because we LOVE OUR BRETHREN. Here is where a problem could arise for us when we are told that we need to LOVE AND ACCEPT EVERYONE no matter how they may choose to live. But the Lord instructs us, “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers…” (Psa. 1:1) “…come out from among them and…
BE SEPARATED, SAYS THE LORD, and do not touch the unclean thing. And I WILL RECEIVE YOU…(2 Corin. 6:17)
Notice: […We must understand that the bible says:] “Little children, LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU.” !!!] That’s for you: Stephanie, Ethan, Camden, Olivia, Aidan, Landon, Kinsley, Annika, Kaleigh, Kate, Gavin…
