Aloha,
It's Ui and we are back again with another episode of Fatih In Between.  Today we catch up on  A LOT! we also continue with 1 John 2 18-29 and 1 John 3 the full chapter (it's a short one I promise). But within these two chapters, we hear about the anti-Christ as well as loving others and how God is calling us to be vigilant of both in our lives.  I know personally, it isn't always sunshine and rainbows in my own life so I pray for all of us as we continue on this (re) discovering journey of Christ and who he is calling us to be in our lives today as new believers or as long time believers who are rededicating our lives back Christ.

Key Points/definitions (taken from the study bible)

1. To abide in Jesus means living in a daily, close relationship with him, characterized by trust, prayer, obedience, and joy.  the Holy Spirit's presence and activity within Christians give evidence that they are abiding in Christ.

2. 2:20: anointed by the Holy One: Spiritually transformed by the Holy Spirit.

3. 2:24: What you heard from the beginning: The authentic message of Christ's death for sin and his defeat of death.

4. 3:20:  Whenever our heart condemns us: Whenever one has an inward conviction of sin.  the fact that God is greater than our heart assures us that he has forgiven us through the atoning death of Christ.

5. 3:21:  A clear conscience leads to boldness and confidence before God in prayer.

6. 3:22: Whatever we ask we receive:  Because we keep his commandments implies a direct connection between obeying God and receiving answers to prayer.
