Calvary Arlington

As John begins to bring this letter to a conclusion, he repeats and condenses his themes into the essence of our faith being in Jesus, Who alone gives the victory of eternal life. #dearchildren #faith #victory #nike #eternallife

John reminds the church that the primary evidence of our eternal relationship with God is the indwelling Holy Spirit who manifests Himself by giving us a proper understanding of Jesus and filling us with the love of God. #dearchiildren #HolySpirit #fear #Jesus #God #Gospel

John commends the church to model love toward one another as they follow the example of love manifested in Jesus. #dearchildren #love #God #Jesus

Not every teaching or teacher is to be received by the child of God. John gives the church a test by which we can discern, what is of God, and what is antichrist. #dearchildren 

John teaches the church that the love of the brethren is an evidence of our relationship with God, demonstrating itself with three proofs and three practices. #dearchildren 

As we continue our study through 1 John, the Apostle begins to address the responsibility that the believer has to practice righteousness. #dearchildren

The believer in Jesus is uniquely called the child of God, as we, by re-birth, have been brought into relationship with our heavenly Father. #dearchildren #bornagain #father #faith  #Jesus
