The Mightiest Weapon God Can Have at His Disposal — Keith Daniel

The following message was given at the HeartCry for Revival Conference, May 26 -29, 1998, at the Willow Valley Resort and Conference Center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the United States of America.

Our Father, we thank Thee from our hearts for each other. We're washed in the blood and we praise Thee for that, Lord. We thank Thee, Lord, for this conference that is filling us with hope and vision and understanding.

And as Thy people, we bow very lowly before Thee. Thou art our God and we are so unworthy. We're so conscious of it, Lord. I am especially this man. There is not need to remind me, Lord, that I am nothing.

Please don't have to remind me that. But in our nothingness, in our unworthiness, come have mercy. Love us openly. Come to Thy people, who are bowed very low before at this time of our history. And who are looking in great desperation, God, for an answer.

Somehow, we're just not absolutely understanding. Please have mercy on us. Show us. Wash me in the blood of Jesus Christ. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. Let my lips, knowingly, function out. Great Liberty, have mercy.

Have mercy on us. Have mercy on all of us. And visit us, as only God can. That the devil doesn't smile. That we may leave this place, oh. In Jesus Christ's name. In Jesus Christ. In the entire Bible. In the entire Bible.

1 John 3 and the Evidence of New Birth

The chapter. The chapter that is most feared by modern day Christianity. In the entire Bible. The chapter that is most feared by modern day Christianity. Is 1 John chapter 3. Where we read these words, Behold what manner of love.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us. That we should be called the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth us not. Because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God.

And it doth not yet appear what we shall be. But when we know. That when he shall appear. We know that when he shall appear. We shall be like him. We shall be like him. For we shall see him. We shall see him as he is.

And every man that hath this hope in him. Purifieth himself. Even as he is pure. Every man that hath this hope in him. Of being like Jesus. When we see him. We shall be like him. Every man that hath this hope in him.

Purifieth himself. Even as he is pure. Whosoever commiteth sin. Transgresseth also the law. The sin is the transgression of the law. And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins. And in him is no sin.

Whosoever. Whosoever abideth in him. Sinneth not. Whosoever abideth in him. Sinneth not. Whosoever sinneth. Hath not seen him. Neither known him. My little children. Let no man deceive you. He that doeth righteousness is righteous.

Even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil. For the devil sinneth on the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested. That he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God.

Doth not commit sin. For his seed remaineth in him. And he cannot sin. For he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest. And the children of the devil. In this. The children of God are manifest.

And. The children of the devil. Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God. In this, the children of God are manifest and the children of the devil. Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God.

Neither he that loveth not his brother. Neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that he heard from the beginning. That we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one and slew his brother.

And wherefore slew him? Wherefore slew him? Because his own works were evil. His brother is righteous. Father not my brethren if the world hate you. We know that we have passed in death unto life because.

Because we love. We love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God because he lay down his life for us.

And we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good. And seeth his brother have need. And shutteth up his vows of compassion from him. How dwelleth the love of God in him?

My little. How dwelleth the love of God in him? My lovely children. Let us not love in words. Let us not love in words. Neither in tongues. But in deeds and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth.

And shall assure our hearts before him. But if our heart condemn us. If our heart condemn us. God is greater than our heart. And knoweth all things. Beloved if our heart condemn us not. Then have we confidence toward God.

And whatsoever we ask. We receive of him. Because we keep his commandments. And do those things that are pleasing in his sight. Beloved if our heart condemn us not. Then have we confidence toward God.

And whatsoever we ask. We receive of him. Because we keep his commandments. And do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment. That we should believe in the name of his son Jesus Christ.

And love one another as he gave his commandments. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him. And he in him. And hereby. Hereby we know. That he abides in us by the spirit. Which he has given us.

Examining Ourselves in the Mirror of Scripture

Now the axel. The axel. Upon which this whole chapter revolves. The axel upon which this whole chapter revolves is verse ten. In this. In this. In this. The children of God. Are manifest. And the children of the devil.

In this. The children of God are manifest. And the children of the devil. Whosoever doeth not righteousness. Is not of God. Neither he. That loveth not his brother. Whosoever doeth not righteousness. Is not of God.

Neither he. That loveth not his brother. We are living in a chaotic. And dangerous. And superficial age in the church. We are living in a chaotic. And dangerous. And superficial age in the church. And I believe the time has come.

For everyone that dares to name the name of Jesus as their savior. To examine themselves. Whether they be in the faith. We are living. In a chaotic. And dangerous. And superficial age in the church. And I believe the time has come.

For everyone that dares. To name the name of Jesus as their savior. To examine themselves. Whether they be in the faith. 2 Corinthians 13 verse 5. Says examine yourselves. Examine yourselves. Whether you be in the faith.

Examine yourselves. Only. Only. Only in the mirror of God's word. Only in the mirror. Of God's word. And if this book condemns you. Be careful how you react. If this book condemns you. Be careful. How you react.

We read in James chapter 1 verse 21. Wherefore lay apart. All filthiness. Lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness. And receive with meekness the engrafted word. Receive with meekness the engrafted word.

Which is able to save your soul. But. But be ye doers of the word. And not hearers only deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer. It is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass.

For he beholdeth himself and goeth his way. And straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty. And continueth therein. He being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work.

This man. This man shall be blessed in his deed. Examine yourselves. Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith. Be ye doers of the word. And not hearers only deceiving your own selves. Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith.

Faith and Works in James

In chapter 2 verse 14. James asked a staggering question. What is a prophet? My brethren. Though a man say he hath faith and hath not works. Can faith save him? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food.

And one of you say unto them. Be part in peace. Be ye warmed and filled. Notwithstanding ye give them not those things that are needful to the body. What is a prophet? Even so faith if it hath not works is dead.

Speak alone. Yea a man may say thou hast faith. And I have works. Show me thy faith. Show me thy faith without thy works. And I will show thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God.

Thou doest well. The devils also believe. And tremble but wilt thou know o vain man. That faith without works is dead. Worthless. James is not saying here you are saved by works. No. There is no such a thing as a contradiction in this book.

James is not saying you are saved by works. No. By grace are ye saved through faith. Not of works. To him that worketh not. But believeth on him that justifies the ungodliest faith. Is counted to him for righteousness.

Not having mine own righteousness which is of the law. But that which is to the faith of Christ. The righteousness which is of God. By faith. No. James is not saying here you are saved by works. You are saved by faith.

But you are not saved unless your faith works. Unless your faith brings your life to correspond with this book. These words on these pages. Your faith is like the devil. He believes every word. He doesn't doubt a word.

That's why he trembles. Do you tremble? Wilt thou know o vain man that faith without works is dead. Examine yourselves. Only in the mirror of God's word. That's all I'm asking of you. Only in the mirror of God's word tonight.

Whether ye be in the faith of this book. Whether ye be in the faith of this book America. If this book still matters. Yeah. In Matthew chapter 7 verse 17 the Lord Jesus said Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit.

But a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit. Neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruit ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. But he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day.

Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in thy name. And in thy name have cast out devils. And in thy name done many wonderful works. And then will I profess unto them. I never knew you. I never knew you. Depart from me ye that work iniquity.

The Warning of Matthew 7 and False Assurance

Examine yourselves. Whether ye be in the faith. You that cast out devils. Oh you stir people don't you that you've done that. Are you going to hell? Or was Jesus just saying words. That don't matter to the church today.

You that cast out devils in thy name. That do many wonderful works. Many will say to me, not a few preachers. Many will say to me in that day. Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in thy name. Have we not preached literally.

Anointed, anointed, preaching, expounding of the oracles of God. That's all that word means. In case you have some other interpretation of prophecy. In this dispensation. In its context. I hope you do read many preachers.

Who say Lord have we not preached in thy name. Examine yourselves. Whether ye be in the faith. You who preach in the name of Jesus. No one will ever ask this again of you until the day you die. I guarantee you.

I guarantee you. Examine yourselves. Whether ye be in the faith of this book. Lest you stand before Christ one day. And hear him say I never knew you. Depart from me ye that work iniquity. Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith.

1 John 2 verse 3 we read. And hereby we do know that we know him. Hereby we do know that we know him if we keep his commandments. How do I know that I am saved? Hereby we do know that we know him. If we keep his commandments.

He that sayeth I know him. And keepeth not his commandments as a lawyer. And the truth is not in him. But who so keepeth his word in him verily is the love of God perfected. Hereby know we that we are in him.

Hereby know we that we are in him. Examine yourselves. Whether ye be in the faith. Hereby we do know that we know him. If we keep his commandments. He that sayeth I know him. And keepeth not his commandments as a lawyer.

God says. God says. Not me. Examine yourselves. Whether ye be in the faith. To everyone. To everyone that dares to name the name of Jesus as their saviour. Paul asks this staggering question in Romans 6 verse 1.

Freedom from Sin and Walking in Newness of Life

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God, for who shall we that are dead to sin? Knowing not that so many of us that were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death.

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death. That like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father. Even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death.

We should be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Knowing this that our old man is crucified with him. That the body of sin might be destroyed. That henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Now if we be dead with Christ we believe that we should also live with him. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more. Death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died he died unto sin once.

But in that he liveth he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin. But alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body.

That ye should obey it in the life thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. But yield yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead. And your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you. For ye are not under the law but under grace. What then shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? God shall obey. Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey.

His servants ye are to whom ye obey. Whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness. But God be thanked that ye were the servants of sin. But ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Being then made free from sin ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak unto the man of men because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness unto iniquity unto iniquity.

Even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things where ye are now ashamed.

For the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin and become servants of God. Ye have your fruit unto holiness. And the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Examine yourselves. Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith. Titus chapter 2 verse 11. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appealed to all men. Teaching us. Teaching us the denying ungodliness and worldly lusts.

We should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world. Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity.

And purify unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good works. For the grace of God hath appealed to all men. Teaching us. Search if anything of God's grace has ever appealed to you in the smallest iota.

This is what it taught you. Teaching us the denying ungodliness and worldly lusts. We should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world. Teaching us the denying ungodliness and worldly lusts.

Confronting Lust and the Call to Holiness

Let us take a moment here. Let us take a moment here to look at this. To consider this sin called lusts. That God so rejects in the life of anyone that would dare to name him. 1 John 2 verse 15. Love not the world neither the things that are in the world.

If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. But all that is in the world. The lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but of the world.

And the world passeth away and the lust thereof that he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. Matthew 5 verse 28. But I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

To know what God sees going on in your mind and heart is so filthy that God think you may as well have done it. There is no less sin. It is as filthy as if you just did it. And no less judgment. I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

And if by right I do cause thee to offend pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should possess another of thy whole body. For thee cast it to her. Do you know how serious a thing it is sir if you don't deal with lusts?

If you just doing the thing God says. Don't, don't, don't deny this. Don't deceive yourself. You've done it. You did this with a man who went physically. You've done it. In my eyes. Unless I'm a bit confused about Christ.

Do you believe Christ's word any more? Certainly, certainly I do not. Someone need to tell. In case they are going to linger. We're looking at this thing called lusts. That God so rejects. I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

1 Peter 2 verse 11. Dearly beloved I beseech you, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrim. Abstain from fleshly lusts. Which war against the soul. If you've seen a man in war. 1 Peter 1 verse 14. As obedient children.

As obedient children. Not fashioning yourselves according to the form of lust and your ignorance. But as he which hath called you is holy. So be ye holy. Be ye holy in all manner of conversation. Because it is written be ye holy.

For I am holy. Be ye holy. Be ye holy. For I am holy. I am holy. 2 Peter 1 verse 4. Whereby I give unto us exceeding great and precious promises. That by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature.

Oh that's wonderful you know. By these precious promises we can become partakers of the divine nature. We put our faith in what God says. Whereby I give unto us exceeding great and precious promises. That by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature.

Having escaped the corruption that is in the world to lust. Have you escaped the corruption that is in the world to lust? Examine yourselves. Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith. And let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 2 Timothy 2 verse 19. In this the children of God are manifest and the children of the devil. God says. Do you believe it? Whosoever doeth not righteousness.

Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God. Is not of God. I was in a meeting many years ago now as a young preacher. Sitting there with some of the greatest preachers in this world. Some of the greatest theologians I think this world has ever known were in that meeting.

There I was this young fellow from the fire of very little wisdom. Listening to them as this man in the front. Amazing. Theologian. Revealed. Oh. I won't tell you his name. You'll be staggered. And he made this statement.

In this meeting. Concerning 1 John chapter 3. He said. Oh beloved we mustn't worry about 1 John chapter 3. The Greek. He says. Brings out the true meaning. If you look at the Greek. It's not saying whosoever is born of God does not commit sin.

Cannot sin. Whosoever sinneth is of the devil. This here in the Greek means. Does not habitually commit sin. But habitually lives in victory. He says thank goodness for the new translation. Don't deceive us like the old king did.

Oh my. Well. Another man stood up. More greatly revered than he in this world. Won't tell you what his name is. You won't believe that. And he stood up and said. Sir I. I beg to differ. I don't know where you learned Greek.

I don't know what. Manuscript. What text you're using. I don't know how you want to explain this. But I want you to bring any manuscript. With any text that you care to use. And I want to show you. That that's not true.

It literally means. If one has to be honest. And I have no argument doctrinally. But if you're going to make a statement like that. Sir let me clear it up right now. You're not true. The Greek says. And you cannot twist it no matter what you do.

Does not commit sin. Full stop. And he sat down. Well. A war broke out in that hall. There were lots of different sorts of. Schools of doctrine there. And there I sat. A young priest. And I was quite delighted.

As they all thrashed this out. I said. Look. Listen to this. Well. After a while. While this was going on. I began to think to myself. And I thought to myself. But they're missing the point. That's not the point.

Sin, Repentance, and the Advocate

John. Isn't. Aiming at us. Weighing up here. As it's possible. That a Christian could ever sin. And if he sins. He's of the devil. If he says he's saved. And he ever sins again. He's of the devil. That's.

That just isn't the point. No matter what the Greek says. Because. John has cleared up very clearly. Before he got to chapter 3. He made sure we wouldn't say that. In chapter 2. Verse 1 and 2. My little children.

These things right. I unto you that ye sin not. Oh. That's what he's saying. Believe it or not. If you don't like that. This is the message. Get out of the pulpit. If you don't want to preach this. For God's sake.

My little children. These things right. I unto you that ye sin not. But if. Now you must be balanced. You know. The Jehovah Witnesses. We accuse them of taking text. And not reading the next text. The next verse.

Are we guilty. Because. You can preach the standard. But if you're scared of the next text. If it doesn't go along with your doctrine. Oh my. You're in trouble. And so are the poor people. Who are going to hear you.

My little children. These things right. I unto you that ye sin not. But if. Beloved. We have to preach it. With the sight. And if. God doesn't stand over you. With a rod of iron. Saying. If you sin. I'll smash you.

No. No. No. No. Oh. He loves you. He loves you. And he cries out. Look. If. Any man sin. Who lives the standards. Who is in truth. Not if you just sin. And sin. And sin. And sin. This is for you. No. The first part.

Then you've got to read. Somebody's got to remind you about. He says the first part. Before he comes to this. To those. Who are living in victory. Who repent. Who are on their way to the celestial city.

Who turn from the broad roads. And repent. Of their sin. And they stand out like sore thumbs. You can't behave. You know. If you've repented. With a broad road. Your whole life condemns. Every single person.

That passes on the broad road. If you're real. And you. All who will live godly. In Christ Jesus. Self. Suffer persecution. You can't escape it. All who will live godly. All who've come to repent. Onto the narrow.

You're exactly. The opposite road. You're walking in the exact. Opposite direction. How can you be missed. But God knows. Though you've done. And if any man be in Christ. He's a new creature. All things have passed away.

Behold. All things have become new. Behold. Look. God says to everybody passing by. Look at this man. All things have passed away. All things have become new. But if on your road. To the celestial city.

With all the powers of darkness. Against you. The devil. Oh. With all those thousands of years. Of knowing. The way of every reaction. Of man. Every weakness. If. With all the powers of darkness. Against you.

While you've turned to a life of repentance. If you fall. It's possible. Don't give up. Get up. Amen. And go on. I give you the right. If. While you're living in this amazing repentance. That condemns everyone's heart.

In your own home. People look upon you as an enemy. They're so condemned. That you weep. At what they're watching on the television. In your own home. If. Any man sin. Fail. Fall. We have an advocate with the Father.

Jesus Christ. The righteous. And he is the propitiation for our sins. He is the mercy seat. Literally. For our sins. The Christians. Oh no. John. John didn't come to chapter three. First you know. He said this.

So that no one would have to have a debate. Praise the Lord. No matter what the Greek. I mean. It's possible we can fall. But it's possible. Amen. That we can live in victory. Amen. And if you don't believe that.

I pity you. Because what on earth can you preach. Of any value. The point here. Is not if we can never. Never fall again. The point here. Is have you repented. Is it written by God. Across you. That every single person.

In your life. That knows you. She's written by God's hand. So loud. That nobody can doubt it. Without one word from you. Look. I have repented. From a life of sin. Take away the word of repentance. From the gospel.

And you have personally. Going to hell. In their millions. In their millions. Just take that one word away. And their faith is as good as the devil. There's no reason. For it to work. There's no reason.

If you take away. Repent. That's the one thing sir. God can't do for you. God now command us. All men. I like that. Everywhere. To repent. Repent. Be there for him. Be a convert. Your sins may be blotted out.

They haven't been blotted out. If you haven't repented from them. Whoso confesseth and forsaketh the sins. The same shall have mercy. Tell me. Where do you find in this book. A man who didn't turn from his sins.

Found mercy. Your sins are blotted out. By faith in the blood of Christ. When you turn from them. To God. You alone can turn. And God alone can set you free. But if the son shall set you free. You shall be free indeed.

And God will cry it out to the world. As you walk. Sinning not. With the possibility. Yes. That in this amazing victory. In this amazing victory. That staggers the world. And staggers the powers of darkness.

Is a possibility. But God doesn't say. Give up. No. Get up. Child. You're on the road. Now get up. I knew it's possible. Get up. Written across you. Is you've repented. You have repented. You've repented.

Oh. It's a glorious message. You know. That God now. Wants us to repent. That if we repent. He delivers. What a blessing. What a blessing. To preach to the world. What poverty. If you don't preach it.

Because when a man goes home. With a condemned heart. Though he sang the praises of God. In your church with you. And his heart will condemn. What God will condemn. Ten times more. Who knoweth all things.

In this. The children of God. Are manifest. And the children of the devil. Whosoever doeth not righteousness. Is not of God. Is not of God. Neither he. That loveth. Not his brother. Now this is staggering.

With equal importance. In God's eyes. As evil sin. This is just going to be. As much judgment. You're of the devil. As much. As if you are an adulterous. Evil man. You're of the devil. God says. Neither he.

That loveth. Not his brother. So this is the message. That he heard from the prophet. That we should love one another. Not as Cain. Who was of that wicked one. And slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him.

Because his own works were evil. And his brother's righteous. Marvel not my brethren. That the world hates you. We know. We know. That we have passed. From death unto life. Because we love. Because we love.

The brethren. He that loveth. Not his brother. He that loveth. Not his brother. Abideth in death. You're still. Going to hell. Whosoever hateth. His brother. Whosoever hateth. His brother. Is a murderer.

And you know. That no murderer. Had eternal life. Abiding in him. God says. If you hate your brother. You're just as good. As a murderer. That's how vital. This is. To be saved. In this. The children of God.

Are manifest. And the children. Of the devil. Whosoever doeth. Not righteousness. Is not of God. Neither he. Neither he. That loveth. Not his brother. We are living. We are living. We are living. In a chaotic.

And dangerous. And superficial age. In the church. And I believe. The time has come. For everyone. That dares. To name the name of Jesus. As their saviour. To examine themselves. Whether they be in. The faith.

Love as Evidence of the Christian Life

Examine yourselves. 2 Corinthians 13 verse 5 says. Examine yourselves. Whether ye be. In the faith. Examine yourselves. Tonight. Whether you be. In the faith. Of this book. Examine yourselves. Only. Only.

That's all. And all I ask. Even if no man. Ever asks. You again. Until the day. You die. Sir. Just. Tonight. Examine yourselves. Only. In the mirror. Of God's word. Only. In the mirror. Of God's word.

And if this book. Condemns you. Be careful. How you react. Even if you are. A minister. Be careful. How you react. Here tonight. Be careful. If this book. Condemns you. We read in 1 John 2 verse 9. He that saith he is in the light.

And hateth his brother. Is in darkness. Even until now. He that loveth his brother. Abideth in the light. And there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother. Is in darkness.

And walketh in darkness. And knoweth not whither he goeth. Because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. Examine yourselves. Examine yourselves. Whether ye be. In the faith. 1 John 4 verse 7. Beloved. Let us love one another.

For love is of God. And every one that loveth. Is born of God. And knoweth God. He that loveth not. Knoweth not God. For God is love. God is love. And this was manifested. The love of God. Toward us. Because that God sent.

His only begotten son. Into the world. That we might live. Not that we loved God. But that he loved us. And sent his son. To be the propitiation. For our sins. Beloved of God. So loved us. We ought also.

To love one another. No man hath seen God. At any time. If we love. One another. God dwelleth in us. And his love is perfected in us. Examine yourselves. Whether ye be in the faith. He that loveth not.

Knoweth not God. You don't know God. You can't know God. If this book still matters. Examine yourselves. Whether ye be in the faith. 1 John 4 verse 20. If a man say. I love God. I love God. And hatred his brother.

He is a liar. Can I repeat that? If a man say. I love God. And hatred his brother. He is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother. Whom he hath seen. How can he love God. Whom he hath not seen. And this commandment have we from him.

That he who loveth God. Loveth his brother also. Whosoever believeth. That Jesus is the Christ. He is born of God. And every one that loveth him. That begat. Loveth him also. That is begotten of him. By this we know.

That we love the children of God. When we love God. And keep his commandments. For this is the love of God. That we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not grievous. This is the love of God.

This is what it means to love God. That we keep his commandments. Not to say I love God. And hate your brother. And you are a liar. God said you don't love me. This is the love of God. That we keep his commandments.

And his commandments are not grievous. And Jesus said. A new commandment I give unto you. A new commandment I give unto you. That ye love one another. As I have loved you. That ye also love one another.
