Encounter Christ REVELATION

• 1 Jn 5: 11 -12 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.

• 2 Tim 1: 12 “That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed” • Revelation vs education

Enforce the New Life SEPARATION

• 2 Tim 2: 19 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his, " and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness. " (NIV)

• 1 Jn 3: 9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.

• Repentance • Perfection vs Direction

Practical Applications • Confess your sins daily— 1 Jn 1: 9 • Know what not to love— 1 Jn 2: 15 -16 ü Lust of the flesh—passion ü Lust of the eyes—possession ü Pride of life—position

• Receive help from others • Paraptoma—trespass—to fall when one should have resisted temptation or maintain a spiritual walk • James 5: 16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results

Enjoy the Word of God TRANSFORMATION

Enjoy the Word of God • I John 2: 5 But those who obey God’s word truly show completely they love him. This is how we know we are living in him • Transformation vs information

Engage in the Local Church

• 1 Jn 2: 7, 9 -11 • “…Love one another…If anyone claims, “I am living in the light, ” but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness. Anyone who loves a fellow believer is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble.

• But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.

• Help the needy • 1 Jn 3: 17 If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?

• Love the crazy

• Forgive the nasty • Col 3: 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. • Make allowance means to endure, to bear with, to be tolerant
