  Hello friends. It's shown here.
• 0:17
  Happy Tuesday to you. It is the 18th of April and you
• 0:22
  and I take another Bowl step forward into the next chapter of
• 0:27
  God's word. And today, we will finish off
• 0:29
  retail. Eating the first letter from the
• 0:32
  disciple, John, and it's easy for us to forget that we
• 0:36
  listening to John. But these are the words written
• 0:38
  by an old man who is reflecting on his life, spent in Jesus
• 0:48
  company, and then in Jesus ministry.
• 0:51
  And as he reflects, he just wants people to have their lives
• 0:56
  centered and rooted in God's love.
• 1:00
  In faith and solidarity. So let us travel back in time
• 1:06
  and sit beside this man. As he writes to finish off this
• 1:10
  letter to his friends. In first John, chapter 5.
• 1:26
  Everyone who believes that Jesus is.
• 1:28
  The Christ has become a child of God, and everyone who loves the
• 1:33
  father, loves his children to. We know, we love God's children.
• 1:38
  If we love God and obey his Commandments, loving God means
• 1:43
  keeping his Commandments and his Commandments are not burdensome
• 1:47
  for every child of, God, defeats this evil world.
• 1:51
  And we achieve this Victory through our faith and who can
• 1:55
  win this battle. Against the world.
• 1:58
  Only those who believe that Jesus is the son of God.
• 2:03
  And Jesus Christ was revealed as God's son, by his baptism in
• 2:07
  water and by shedding his blood on the cross.
• 2:11
  Not by water, only, but by water and blood and the spirit who is
• 2:17
  truth confirms it with his testimony.
• 2:21
  So we have these three Witnesses, the spirit the water
• 2:26
  The blood and all three agree. Since we believe human
• 2:30
  testimony, surely, we can believe the greater testimony
• 2:34
  that comes from God. And God has testified about his
• 2:38
  son all, who believe in the Son of God know in their heart that
• 2:43
  this testimony is true. Those who don't believe this are
• 2:48
  actually calling God a liar because they don't believe what
• 2:51
  God has testified about his son. And this is what God has
• 2:56
  testified. He has given us eternal life,
• 3:01
  and this life is in his son. Whoever has the son has life,
• 3:07
  whoever does not have God, son does not have life.
• 3:12
  I've written this to you who believe in the name of the son
• 3:15
  of God so that you may know you have eternal life and we are
• 3:21
  confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything
• 3:25
  that pleases him. And since we know he hears us
• 3:29
  when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us
• 3:33
  what we asked for If you see a fellow believer sinning in a way
• 3:38
  that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give
• 3:42
  that person life, but there is a sin that leads to death.
• 3:47
  And I'm not saying you should pray for those who committed,
• 3:51
  all Wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death.
• 3:56
  We know that God's children do not make a practice of sinning
• 4:00
  for godson. Holds them securely and the evil
• 4:04
  one. Cannot touch them.
• 4:07
  We know that we are children of God and that the world around us
• 4:11
  is under the control of the evil one.
• 4:14
  And we know that the Son of God has come and he is given us
• 4:17
  understanding so that we can know the true God.
• 4:22
  And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we
• 4:26
  live in fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ.
• 4:30
  He is the only true God and he is eternal life.
• 4:36
  Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's
• 4:40
  place in your hearts. Jesus.
• 4:54
  Thank you that you hold us secure and the evil one cannot
• 4:59
  touch us because we are covered in baptismal water and in the
• 5:06
  blood of your sacrifice and with the indwelling of the Holy
• 5:10
  Spirit, those three things that John writes about and the evil
• 5:14
  one can not touch us. And when the world seems evil
• 5:22
  and is reaching its tendrils toward us, help us to stand
• 5:27
  firm. Knowing that we are yours.
• 5:29
  And we stand on the solid rock of you, our God, and Our
• 5:34
  Redeemer. Keep us firm in that Faith.
• 5:40
  Keep us confidence in your Providence.
• 5:44
  Over anything, that might be thrown at us.
• 5:47
  So that in the end we can return to you and in your present,
• 5:52
  senior Praises forever and a day, we love you.
• 5:56
  And we pray all this in your name, Jesus.
• 5:59
  Amen.
