July 15, 2022July 10, 2022 by atozmom, posted in WordGo 1 John

Summary of 1 John 2:1-2

Try not to sin, but if you do, we have Jesus, who will atone for our sins and the sin’s of the world.

Questions for 1 John 2:1-2

12) Jesus is righteous, holy, sinless, and just. Jesus can be our advocate because his sacrificial blood cleanses us, so we can stand before God.

13) We are sinners, and we will always be sinners. But with the sacrificial blood of Jesus, we can spend eternity with God who is sinless. Unsure who He is calling me to share this with. I don’t have contact with a lot of people, so probably a stranger.

14) Trying not to sin. I do believe we can sin less if we have God as our center. My prayer is to grow closer to God and ask Him to be my center.

Conclusions to WordGo Study of 1 John 2:1-2

Another great reminder of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Because he was human and sinless, he is the best and only one who can advocate on our behalf. Jesus is with us via the Holy Spirit every moment of every day, even in our sins. We can turn from sin with God’s help. We are better today than yesterday. We can trust God with all of our hearts, souls, and minds. We can do this all through the power of Christ. In Christ, there is hope. He is risen, indeed!

July 14, 2022July 10, 2022 by atozmom, posted in WordGo 1 John

Summary of 1 John 1:8-10

If we confess our sins, He is faithful, just, and will forgive us and purify us. If we claim we never sin, then God’s word is not in us.

Questions for 1 John 1:8-10

9) If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth and God’s word is not in us. Plus, we claim God to be a liar. When we deny we’ve sinned, we are putting ourselves on par with God, at His level. Plus, we are ignoring God and His word.

10) If we confess our sins, He is faithful, just, and will forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness. I think we all deny our sins outloud occasionally when we know we have sinned even though our hearts tell us otherwise. In these moments, we should pray and ask for forgiveness.

11) God is faithful (keeps His promises) and just and He forgives and purifies us (clothes us in righteousness) when we confess our sins. I am thankful for His forgiveness each and every day.

Conclusions to WordGo Study of 1 John 1:8-10

I love examining God’s character in the Bible. It’s a great reminder of how Great He truly is. The fact that we can walk with God via the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, is grace defined. Reflect on God’s faithfulness, justness, and righteousness today.

Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Study of 1 John: Week 1, Day 3: 1 John 1:5-7

July 13, 2022July 5, 2022 by atozmom, posted in BSF Matthew 2021/2022

Summary of 1 John 1:5-7

God is light; there is no darkness in Him. If we walk in the light, we have fellowship with one another. Jesus’s blood purifies us.

Questions for 1 John 1:5-7

6) “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” Jesus declared himself light in John 8:12 and whoever follows him will never walk in darkness, but have the light of life or eternal life. You cannot walk in light and in darkness at the same time. You have to leave darkness to enter the light; you have to accept Jesus’ sacrifice for you.

7) False claim: You cannot claim to have fellowship and walk in darkness; you don’t live by the truth then. Instead, true evidence is to walk in the light or living by God’s truths.

8 ) Follow God’s Word and decrees, repent of sin, do your best to be like Jesus and grow like him a little bit more with each passing day. When you live by God’s truth, your life is light and everyone will be able to see what God has done for you. Those who live in darkness choose to be evil and they hate the light/Jesus.

Conclusions to WordGo Study of 1 John 1:5-7

God is light, and He brought light into our world when He created the heavens and the earth. Light represents God’s holiness, His perfection, His righteousness, and His goodness. Light is eternal life.

When you walk in God’s light, you repent of your old ways and walk in God’s ways. Jesus’ blood cleanses us, so we can be in the light, too!

Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Study of 1 John: Week 1, Day 2: 1 John 1:1-4

July 12, 2022July 5, 2022 by atozmom, posted in WordGo 1 John

Summary of 1 John 1:1-4

God was from the beginning, and we proclaim to you (Christians) what we have seen and heard so that you can have faith and fellowship, too.

Questions for 1 John 1:1-4

3) The Word of Life is Jesus. We can believe John’s testimony because Jesus was from the beginning and John saw, heard, and touched Jesus firsthand.

4) John is eager to proclaim how we all have eternal life because of Jesus. John writes so that we may have faith and fellowship with Jesus, too and know we have eternal life (1 John 5:13)

5) Jesus was from the beginning and that I have eternal life through faith in him. This brings be joy and confidence. The why is because it’s a deep sense of truth and rightness that is hard to explain.

Conclusions to WordGo Study of 1 John 1:1-4

Note we see the word “proclaim” used three times in these short verses. John echoes his opening lines of his Gospel with this opening, too, discussing how Jesus has always existed and is the Way, the Truth, and the Life for all of us. God is Jesus, and Jesus is God. We all share in God’s life through Jesus, which is the apostles’ joy to share with us. We have fellowship with God when we know and belong to Him.

July 11, 2022July 10, 2022 by atozmom, posted in WordGo 1 John

Summary of 1 John 1

God was from the beginning, and we proclaim to you (Christians) what we have seen and heard so that you can have faith, too.

God is light; there is no darkness in Him. If we walk in the light, we have fellowship with one another. Jesus’s blood purifies us.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful, just, and will forgive us and purify us.

Summary of 1 John 2:1-2

Try not to sin, but if you do, we have Jesus, who will atone for our sins.

Questions for 1 John 1:1-2:2

1 ) Fellowship with other Christians and with God, the Father. By accepting Jesus as our atoning sacrifice.

2 ) “We proclaim to you”, “If we claim”

Conclusions to WordGo Study of 1 John 1:1-2:2

1 John shows God as the sourse of power in the Christian life. Note how John defines a word, discusses its opposite, then describes what a life in that word should look like. Do note that John the Apostle is attributed as author of this book due to the style; Bible scholars are not 100% sure as no where does it say who the author is.

Loved the reminder to walk in the light and to accept Jesus as our Savior. Great, great stuff!

The content of this book is to the first and second generations of Christians who were going astray from the meaning of the New Testament teachings. They thought that there would be no sin in your life if you were a Christian. John sets the record straight by saying how imperfect people can have eternal life and be with God through His Son, Jesus. Christ is righteous and through him, we can be, too.

Look for the word “know,” which arises 105 times in 1 John (thank, BSF, for this fun fact!).

The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, My Deliverer.

Psalm 18:2: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

Pray this to Him:

God is mine as I am His. He is always behind me no matter how hard I fall. He lifts me up and places me gently back down. He is the one I run to. He shields me from every evil. He is my fortress. Lord, you are mine. With all my heart, all my soul, all of whom you made me, I thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Rocks are some of the strongest materials on this planet. They are beautiful, enchanting, mesmerizing, and at the same time intimidating, threatening, and dangerous. The former is God to His people; the latter is God to nonbelievers. A rock is all of this and so much more. Lord, be my rock today.
