Knowing Vs. Saying Knowing God – Most Important Knowledge to Have : “With whom we have to do” – He Knows our secrets (Heb. 4:13) Knowing Vs. Saying

Knowing Vs. Saying Knowing God – Most Important Knowledge to Have : “With whom we have to do” – He Knows our secrets (Heb. 4:13) Knowing Vs. Saying “Bring to light the hidden things of darkness” - “make manifest the counsels of the hearts” (I Cor. 4:5)

Knowing Vs. Saying Knowing God – Most Important Knowledge to Have : Knowing the TRUTH from God is essential… “With whom we have to do” – He Knows our secrets (Heb. 4:13) Knowing Vs. Saying “Bring to light the hidden things of darkness” - “make manifest the counsels of the hearts” (I Cor. 4:5)

TWO GOD INSPIRED WAYS FOR THE TRUTH FROM GOD Miraculous Gifts – “The anointing from the Holy One” – (I Jn. 2:20-21; I Cor. 12:8, 10). Verbalized Word and Epistles of the apostles – “that which ye heard from the beginning” (I Jn. 2:24, 2 Thess. 2:15)

TWO GOD INSPIRED WAYS FOR THE TRUTH FROM GOD Miraculous Gifts – “The anointing from the Holy One” – (I Jn. 2:20-21; I Cor. 12:8, 10). Verbalized Word and Epistles of the apostles – “that which ye heard from the beginning” (I Jn. 2:24, 2 Thess. 2:15) Allowing this “TRUTH” to “ABIDE” in us we have an “ABIDING” relationship with God (I Jn. 2:27)

Verbalized Word and Epistles of the apostles – “that which ye heard from the beginning” (I Jn. 2:24, 2 Thess. 2:15) Allowing this “TRUTH” to “ABIDE” in us we have an “ABIDING” relationship with God (I Jn. 2:27) Protects us from “them” that would “lead us astray” (I Jn. 2:26, 2 Cor. 11:13-15)

“TESTING” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 4:1-6 Do not believe every “spirit” – TEST THEM – Truth and Error (v. 1,6) Many false prophets have gone out into the world If you “know God” you will hear the apostles and the Spirit of God

“TESTING” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 4:1-6 We “know” the spirit of God: “Confessing Jesus Christ has come in the flesh” (v. 2) Every spirit that confesses not this truth is not of God (v. 3) Spirit of the “anti-christ” (v.3, 2:22)

“TESTING” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 4:1-6 We “know” - who does not confess Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is a spirit “OF THE WORLD” (v. 4-5) Ing

“TESTING” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 4:1-6 We “know” - who does not confess Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is a spirit “OF THE WORLD” (v. 4-5) Many antichrists – many left – ye have overcome them (cf. I Jn. 2:18-19) Ing

“TESTING” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 4:1-6 We “know” - who does not confess Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is a spirit “OF THE WORLD” (v. 4-5) Many antichrists – many left – ye have overcome them (cf. I Jn. 2:18-19) They are of the world – the world hears them (v. 5) Christian is of God – Hears those of God (v. 6) Ing

“TESTING” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 4:1-6 We “know” - who does not confess Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is a spirit “OF THE WORLD” (v. 4-5) Many antichrists – many left – ye have overcome them (cf. I Jn. 2:18-19) They are of the world – the world hears them (v. 5) Christian is of God – Hears those of God (v. 6) Believing the truth of God regarding Jesus Christ, WE OVERCOME THE WORLD and THE EVIL ONE (I Jn. 5:4, 2:13-14, Eph. 3:17)

“Discerning” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 2:3-6 Subjective statements: “I know God…”, “I love God…”; “I abide in God… ” Ing

“Discerning” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 2:3-6 Subjective statements: “I know God…”, “I love God…”; “I abide in God… ” Objective Standard We know Him “if we keep His commandments” (v. 3-4) We know who loves God and is maintaining a perfect love of God – “whoso keepeth His Word” (v. 5) We know the demand of saying we abide in God – “should walk even as He walked” (v. 6) Ing

“Loving God” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 4:20-21 We know the man is a liar who says he loves God, yet hates his brother (v.20)

“Loving God” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 4:20-21 We know the man is a liar who says he loves God, yet hates his brother (v.20) You cannot love God whom you have not seen, and love not your brother whom you have seen (v.20, 4:12-13) Ing

“Loving God” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 4:20-21 We know the man is a liar who says he loves God, yet hates his brother (v.20) You cannot love God whom you have not seen, and love not your brother whom you have seen (v.20, 4:12-13) How do we know?: Heed the commandment of God (v.21)! Ing

“Loving God” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:16-18 Shutting up your compassion and not helping your brother in need - the love of God is not in you (I Jn. 3:16-18) We know love - sacrificial love manifested by Christ Like Christ – heart of compassion and giving our “livelihood” to our brothers in need (cf. Mk. 12:44, Lk. 8:43) Ing

“Loving God” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:16-18 We must love in WORD + DEED = TRUTH Not in WORD ONLY (v.18) Ing

“CONFIDENCE” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:19-22 Sometimes the condemning voice comes from within… We have not loved our brother in word and deed. We know that is the road we should travel, but we take an easier route. Ing

“CONFIDENCE” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:19-22 Sometimes the condemning voice comes from within… We have not loved our brother in word and deed. We know that is the road we should travel, but we take an easier route. Which is easier : Say we love God or help our brother in need?

“CONFIDENCE” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:19-22 Sometimes the condemning voice comes from within… We have not loved our brother in word and deed. We know that is the road we should travel, but we take an easier route. Which is easier : Say we love God or help our brother in need? Which is easier: Love God whom we have not seen or hate a brother whose personality constantly irritates us?

“CONFIDENCE” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:19-22 Sometimes the condemning voice comes from within… We have not followed the example of Jesus – compassion in times of stress, fatigue (Mk. 6:31-34) Ing

“CONFIDENCE” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:19-22 Sometimes the condemning voice comes from within… We have not followed the example of Jesus – compassion in times of stress, fatigue (Mk. 6:31-34) We don’t change our desired plans, or we do so without compassion, we do not go the extra mile…

“CONFIDENCE” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:19-22 Sometimes the condemning voice comes from within… We have not followed the example of Jesus – compassion in times of stress, fatigue (Mk. 6:31-34) We don’t change our desire plans, or we do so without compassion, we do not go the extra mile… The conscientious Christian’s heart can condemn to the point of one giving up, and fearing the judgment. Ing

“CONFIDENCE” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:19-22 With confidence we can go to God in prayer (v. 20-22) God is GREATER than our hearts… God KNOWETH all things…

“CONFIDENCE” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:19-22 With confidence we can go to God in prayer (v. 20-22) God is GREATER than our hearts… God KNOWETH all things… We can Confess and pray with repentance – and determine to make the change for the better. Ing

“CONFIDENCE” VS. SAYING – I Jn. 3:19-22 With confidence we can go to God in prayer (v. 20-22) God is GREATER than our hearts… God KNOWETH all things… We can Confess and pray with repentance – and determine to make the change for the better. As we strive to be more like Jesus, we can replace FEAR with BOLDNESS as we face the Judgment (I John 4:17-18) Ing

VS. KNOWING SAYING We can TEST the teaching! We can objectively DISCERN subjective claims! VS. KNOWING SAYING We can determine who truly LOVES GOD! We can have CONFIDENCE when critical judgment comes from within!

Knowing Vs. Saying Christians should not be condemned as “UNLOVING” because they “TEST” the teachings of others with God’s Word!
