We begin to discuss the commandment against trusting every spirit, and to test whether they are of God.

We talk about the degree in which the measure of sin in us - or lack of it - helps indicate the degree to which God is in us. But how do we know this?

We continue to study God's great commandment, and that the one keeping the commandments abides in Him. We also spend some quality time focusing on how extremely difficult it can be to seek out the truth in the Bible, especially for someone who intends to follow the commandments within.

We look further into the great commandment of God. John is very meticulous in his description.

Finally, we arrive at the great commandment of God. John has been leading up to this and this episode, we see it unveiled.

"This is how we know..." The way John assures us that we are in truth is very complicated. Let's try to untangle it.

How can we know that we are of the truth?

Join us as we begin a detailed analysis of the importance of "words, deeds, and truth." We also discuss how "brothers" implies the sibling connection of Cain and Abel somewhat differently than the colloquial "brothers and sisters."

Bonus word: Teknia!

While exploring the various different meanings of the word 'life,' we really get to the 'guts' of the matter.

That big verb: 'KNOWING' - and the way in which John applies it to love and life.
