约翰一书 1:1 - 2:6 宣称
There is a clear difference between correct and wrong claims. It seems that every product in the market has a safety label, name or description of the raw material of the product, nutritional value or nutritional indicator, etc. to ensure that consumers can safely choose and use the product and increase their confidence in the product.
Before the safety label of the product has become a regulation, some manufacturers who are not qualified need to report the formula of the product, publicize the product's nutritional ingredients and their results.
Many times, what they claim has no evidence. Similarly, do you have any proof or evidence that you are allergic to a certain person or a certain thing? Brothers and sisters, friends,.
Good morning.
Welcome to the 9th day of the 5th day of the 6th lunar month, 2016. Today's scripture is recorded in John 1, chapter 1 to chapter 2, verse 6. The theme of this chapter is PROCLAIMATION. In this scripture, John proclaims the good and the bad.
In this scripture, John tries to say this three times, If we say this, and everyone says this, then this is the proclaiming we are doing. As Christians, our claim is that Jesus is the truth. John, as a person, and as a true claimant, says that Jesus is the first and only son of God.
He also proclaims this in John 1. Jesus is the same as God in the beginning. He is God. Let's look at this from several perspectives.
First,.
John proclaims that this birth came from the flesh to the world. His proclamations and the teachings of the Romans and the Greeks or what they believed, have something in common. It turns out that these false teachers, these false Christians, believe that God, Jesus Christ, cannot be created from the flesh, nor is He made from the flesh.
Not to mention that He is flesh. They believe that Jesus is present in the flesh, and that this is just an illusion. However, John firmly opposes their claim. John and the disciples of Jesus all know that the Lord Jesus is a human body, which they have seen with their own eyes, and have touched with their own hands.
Jesus and the disciples of Jesus are in the same boat. John will not forget that at the Last Supper, he asked his son to lean on Jesus. He will not forget Jesus' three painful prayers in Christianity.
He will not forget that Jesus was beaten by the Romans, and that His body was wounded. He will not forget that water and blood were poured out of the cross on Jesus' body. He will not forget that St. Thomas carefully inserted his finger into the soul of Jesus and into His ear.
All of this fully explains that Jesus is God and a human being. At the Last Supper, this is what John and the disciples of Jesus saw and heard with their own eyes. This is also their true witness. Therefore, they will not hesitate to proclaim to us that they believe in the Way of Life,.
Which is the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the Lord, we are all one. We believe in the prophecy of St. John and the disciples of Jesus. We also believe in the Way of Life, which is the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the truth. We are one with Him.
We are united with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We will never be separated. And this unity does not depend on international, social, political, cultural background, no matter rich or poor, etc.
We can be one with the Holy Spirit, and be one with Him, so that our lives can be filled with joy and happiness. Those who do not believe in this truth, that is, Jesus Christ is the Lord, we cannot be one with Him.
Life and death are one. Light and darkness are one. It depends on our understanding of Jesus Christ, whether it is right or wrong. The right understanding is that it is connected to the truth. The right understanding is that we can be one with God, and have eternal life.
We proclaim that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Way of Life. He has existed since the beginning of time. He is the Lord. What about you?
Secondly,.
The Stoics here refer to those who do not seek the truth. They claim that they do not sin, but they are just looking at their own sin. Because the Holy Spirit said, the body is only the outer shell of man, the true self is the spirit.
Therefore, what the body does is not what the true self is doing. Therefore, they do not need to bear any responsibility for what the body does. They use all kinds of excuses to cover up their sin. They claim that they do not sin.
They claim that the true self is what they seek. It has nothing to do with their sin. Their sin is in the world. Just like the world, it is even worse than the world's sin. They say it out loud, or claim that they do not sin.
Because their sin does not work in their lives, nor can it stop them from sinning. To put it simply, when we wear a mask, when we see porn, when we take other people's things, when we have a confused mind, these are not sins.
To them, these are the body driving them to sin. It has nothing to do with their sin. Here, I would like to use two words to describe their false claims. They claim that they do not sin. What about you?
Are you the same as them? Are you claiming that your body is driving you to sin? Thirdly, we claim that God is Light.
Fifthly,.
In Him, there is no darkness. God is One, the One, the One. We believe that we live in Light,.
And that there is Life.
This is the same as what we claim. This is why we live in Light. This is the Light of the Witness, which dwells within us. We use our actions as a shield. Some Catholics claim to know the Lord,.
And to be saved.
However,.
In their lives, they cannot live a life of salvation. They cannot live a life of salvation. They live in darkness,.
And in sin.
To such a Catholic, John the Baptist,.
On the sixth day,.
Said that they were lying, and that their claims were false. They claimed that they were Catholics, and were connected to God. John the Baptist said that this was an untrue claim. It was false. It was not true.
John the Baptist, on the seventh day,.
Said that.
If we walk in Light, just as He walks in Light, we are connected to God. This means that we live according to our claims. Our life is the Witness of God, which dwells within us. Those hypocritical Catholics, their religious beliefs, their false claims, are connected to God.
They are seen through their false appearance. So, they even throw away the true connection and unity in Light. So, brothers and sisters,.
Friends,.
Do you have Light in your life? Can you accept the Light of the Lord Jesus in your life?
Fourthly,.
When we say that God is Light, His true Light is all of our evil intentions, and even all of our evil intentions. This can be said to be without hiding. The true Light is to let us see our evil intentions, and to let us know that we are evil.
Fifthly, if we claim that we are not evil, then we are deceiving ourselves. Then the true Light is no longer within us. Evil makes us stay away from God. Evil makes us commit sin. God is the Lord,.
The Lord of justice.
He will judge evil. He will put those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Into eternal fire.
That is eternal death. Ninthly, St. John said, If we admit our sins, God is the Lord of justice. He will pardon our sins. He will save us from all evil intentions.
Seventhly,.
His Son, Jesus Christ, will cleanse us of all our sins. This is a beautiful picture of salvation. We proclaim that the Lord Jesus Christ is our Savior. Then He will be on the cross,.
On the cross,.
And will cleanse us of all our sins. He will save us from all our sins. We will be saved. In this way, we will be saved, and we will be one with God. On the contrary, those false believers, those false religious people, they think that they are committing sins.
The sins committed by the flesh are not the sins committed by the true self.
Therefore,.
They do not need to take responsibility for the sins committed by the flesh. They do not recognize their sins, and even ignore all sins. They do not believe that Jesus Christ is God. They do not need to repent to Jesus Christ for their sins.
They do not need to take the book of the Lord Jesus Christ as a guarantee to cleanse them of all their sins. Therefore, they have renounced their past sins and live in peace. Many people today are also like this.
They have rejected their sins, and have turned to the environment, economic power, and freedom of will, etc. They still hold on to the book of Satan.
In their hearts and minds.
This is unbearable. If these people come to their homes, and sincerely repent to Jesus Christ, and repent to the book of the Lord Jesus Christ, they will be able to cleanse themselves of all their sins and be one with God.
Brothers and sisters,.
In the 6th chapter,.
We see that if we say that God is light, but we do not live a life of light, then our declaration is not true. In the 2nd and 8th chapters, we say that we are not drunk, but we are drunk.
Then,.
Our declaration is also false. In the 4th chapter, if we say that we have not committed any sins, then we are lying to God. This is such a ridiculous thing.
His way does not exist in our hearts. We cannot live in peace with God. Since God is the Holy Spirit, He does not lie. St. John directly refutes this theory. In the 2nd and 1st chapters, he writes a letter to his children.
As elders, we should call them God's followers. We should tell them not to commit sin. Even if they commit sin, St. John says in the 2nd and 2nd chapters, In front of the Father,.
We have a Father,.
Who is Jesus Christ. He has committed a sin for us, not only for us, but also for all mankind. According to God's answer, God has made His only begotten Son,.
Jesus Christ,.
As our Savior. On the Cross, He has become the Lamb of God. God's action is to let us know that He is not a liar, to let us know those sins, so that we can follow Jesus through blood, and gain a new life, so that we can wake up in the Light.
This is our declaration. Let us look at those false teachers, those false Christians. In the 2nd chapter,.
It says,.
I have already known Him, but I do not follow His commandments. Here it says, the truth does not reside in their hearts. They still follow their free will, and live a life of pleasure.
St. John says,.
They are liars. Paul says, in the 6th chapter of the Gospels, it says, those of you who do not believe, do not be angry. Those who believe, those who worship idols, those who are evil, those who steal,.
Those who steal,.
Those who are greedy,.
And so on,.
Cannot bear the wrath of God. Paul further says, they are to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, and to be cleansed of our sins by the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit,.
And to be cleansed of our sins.
By the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit. So, dear brothers and sisters, is this your declaration? Are you going to be cleansed of your sins? Are you going to be cleansed of your sins? Are you going to be cleansed of your sins?
Are you going to be cleansed of your sins? We declare that God is Love. We follow His commandments. We love God. Everything is in our hearts. We follow His will. We love and follow His commandments. We declare that He is Light.
We follow His will. We live in the Light. Do you realize what is really true? Are your declarations are true?
Thank you for listening.
