The Apostle John marks out three stages of a Christian's life from the new birth unto a mature and steadfast walk with Jesus. Thus, we learn that all of us need to have goals that point the way forward and give focus to our efforts to "know Him from the beginning". 

I. We all Start as Little Children in Christ (2:12, 13c)

    I John 2:12-14

Sometimes an old saying, worn and true, needs to be revitalized, brought to light and given life through a visible example. Christ did this by giving the old commandment true form as he walked among us. We Christians, now show we are of His light or not by how we Love or by how we hate.

III. An Old Hatred - Blind to The Light

Sometimes an old saying, worn and true, needs to be revitalized, brought to light and given life through a visible example. Christ did this by giving the old commandment true form as he walked among us. We Christians, now show we are of His light or not by how we Love or by how we hate. 

    I John 2:7-11

This how we know that we know Him if: we do exactly as He says, following His Ifs, Ands, Or Buts without adding any or our own ifs, ands, or buts! Then we can say that we know that we know Him!

    I John 2: 3-6

Who will pay the price for your sin - You all alone or would you like someone to Pay the price for you? Jesus takes the blame for those who believe on Him and confess their sins. Learn to trust that this is true now, for as long as you live and forever!

    I John 2:2

Alone facing the Judgement of God, Or, with someone to stand by you as your defense council - Jesus Christ. Choose wisely. 

    I John 2:1-2 

Walking in the light means admitting sin. Today we look at three admissions required for walking in the light of truth and one damning confession that reveals an absence of light, darkness. 

    I John 1:9-10

No One wants to Hear about Sin Anymore - even some Christians. And so elaborate deceptions are devised in a herculean effort to avoid the Truth. Today we will deconstruct five deceptions often employed by the world to deny sin in ourselves and in others. 

All who call themselves Christian have worried and wonder if they are truly walking with Jesus in the Light? Today we discover two Introspective questions which must be asked and answered before anyone may determine, with confidence, if indeed you are walking in the Light.
