    Bible Study - 1 John Epistle Chapter 5 - Episode 14

    Is Jesus Christ the Son of God? Who is the witness to that and what is the proof? How does the Holy Spirit testify that Jesus is the Son of God from the time He manifested on Jesus in His baptism until today in my own life through the church sacraments and in guiding me all the time?

     How does the cleaning with water and blood of sacrifices in the Old Testament translate to the New Testament’s salvation given to us by Jesus’ blood and water flowing on the cross? How does my faith that Jesus did this for me lift me up to recover continuously from falling to conquer this world with eternal comfort, love and peace to transform me into Christ’s image?

    Bible Study - 1 John Epistle Chapter 4 - Episode 13

    Are God’s commandments burdensome? What does

    Christ mean when He says His yoke is light and to throw my burdens on Him? Would God, who loves me and died for me, give me a heavy commandment that I cannot do without His grace and faith in His power to overcome all hurdles?      
    Do I choose to be victorious in hanging on to the fact that I am God’s child and that Jesus, the Son of God, took on our nature, and restored it to Him? What does that mean in terms of my life’s purpose, sin and suffering? How does that translate in terms of my obligations to love all humanity who is my family and Christ’s family?

    Bible Study - 1 John Epistle Chapter 4 - Episode 12

    What is the relationship between our love for God and knowledge of Him? Which comes first: knowing God and what He did for us on the cross and what He does for us every day or does loving Him come first, especially during hardships? Can linking Christ’s sacrifice for me to my daily life bring me closer to Him?

    Can something as simple as starting the day with a loving prayer and dedication of the day to God bring me closer to a more intimate knowledge of Him? Does this divert my attention from myself and fear of the world problems to God and help me focus on manifesting Him to others?
    What does it mean that God abides in us because He has given us of His Spirit? Do I realize that the Holy Spirit’s work in me continually turns my heart to God and fills me with love for God?

    Bible Study - 1 John Epistle Chapter 3 - Episode 11

    What is the relationship between loving each other and God responding to our requests and giving us whatever we ask of Him? What does it mean to live in alignment with the Holy Spirit and God’s will, if I obey His commandments? How does it lead me to abide in God and be one with Him?

    How do I know that I am living in God’s will? Is it following Jesus as He lived on earth going around doing good to others? Are my actions and requests bringing out God’s goodness to others and bringing me to be one with God?

    Bible Study - 1 John Epistle Chapter 3 - Episode 10

    Do I realize that hating others or being indifferent to their needs means that I’m murdering that person, making myself a member of the devil’s camp? Do I know that as a true follower of Christ, I must love my fellow man to the point of sacrificing to help them as they need?        

    Am I from God or from the devil? Do I consciously
    make the decision to love and help others, or am I a murderer in the sense that I choose not to help them in their need or even go as far as hating them or being jealous of them? How can I apply God’s unconditional love starting with my own family, friends and close circle of friends who are icons of Christ?

    Bible Study - 1 John Epistle Chapter 3 - Episode 9:        

    What does it mean for me to be righteous? How can I be pure and holy like Jesus asked me to be, if I follow Him, even if I’m ready to give up on trying and give in to the ease of life instead?
    Does knowing why and what I’m working on to follow Jesus, help me define the purpose of my life with real hope to stay on my holy path to be Christ like? Can contemplating Christ often, elevate my mind and help me become pure in heart so I gradually be in the glory and honor of Christ here and in eternity?
