S - By this we know that we abide in him and He in us because he has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love and the one who abides in love abides in God and God abides in him.
O - Does anyone feel like John is repeating himself!!! I guess they has just as hard of heads as we do today and needed to be told over and over. God can only abide in us when there is confession of sin. And then love will abide in us.
A - I'm so glad we are going through I John. I've had a lot of questions from Sawyer lately regarding salvation and it's good to be able to take him to the Bible and give him info instead of this is just coming from mom. I'm even more grateful that the Holy Spirit can take the words I use with him and help them make sense to a 4 year old!
P - Lord thank you that we don't go by the law anymore and I can base my eternity on Jesus and his forgiveness of my sins. Thank you that I only had to repent of them once and he took care of all of them. Help me to confess daily where I fall short so that your love can abide in me and others can see it! Give us clear words to share with Sawyer when he has questions.
