S - We know that no one who is born of God sins: but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true, in his son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children guard yourselves from idols.
O - commentary again! We have victory over sin because we are a child of God and God puts limits on Satan's persecution and power. It also said the word "true" meant "genuine" as opposed to false. We serve a genuine God who gives eternal life with him.
A - Keeping God first in my life and confessing my sins daily will help me from having idols that take his rightful place. I love that through everything John has said about us being children of God and how we know we are his children he ends with guard yourselves from idols. Idols get me in trouble constantly. If I would learn to love with his genuine love idols wouldn't be an issue.
P - I am so grateful Lord that you used John to write this book. I need to know I'm your child, I need to know how to love you and love others with your love and I need to confess my sins and stay away from idols! Help me Lord to stay aware of your Spirit's calling on my everyday life.
