Seeing and believing that Jesus is both real and divine give us a way to have joy and fellowship. Until you and I see and believe this truth, our lives will not move. We will have a dormant life that settles for isolation, shallow friendships and second hand pleasures. The book of 1 John is a confrontation to the Church to accept responsibility for the way in which it loves and reacts to the people around it and within it. John charges the individual members of our congregations with many sharp and challenging commands that come from the very lifestyle of Jesus Christ. We have heard him state:
“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1:8)
“whoever says he abides in him (Jesus) ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” (2:6)
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” (2:15)

While bold statements confront us throughout this epistle the goal of these statements are not to plague us with uncertainty about the power of Jesus. John is not playing with our minds, toying us on whether we really are Christians or not. John, as well as every other writer in the NT, is very explicit that the Spirit is the confirmation of our salvation. (Rom. 8:11, Titus 3:4-7,1Jon 3:24b, & Gal. 5:22-24) We can-not earn grace and it is by this grace that we are saved. (Eph.

He has used the fourth chapter of 1 John as a measuring rod in his famous lecture The Distinguishing Marks of A Work of The Spirit of God, to lay down “some certain rules, distinguishing the clear marks, by which the church might proceed safely in judging of the true from the false without danger of being imposed upon.” He adds, “ The giving of such rules is the plain design of this paper, where we have this matter more expressly treated than any where else in the Bible.” In The Distinguishing Marks of A Work of The Spirit of God, Edwards divided his treatise into three major sections, negative signs or evidences of the work of the Spirit of God, positive signs, and practical matters that suit the state of affairs of the time in which he

It is a responsibility placed upon each believer to decide to obey God’s word and live out this great salvation worked in us by Christ.

Because we understand it is God who works in us – it is His divine nature that helps us and instructs us – it is His Holy Spirit who teaches us – but it is our responsibility to walk obediently “Keep in step with the Holy Spirit” to act according to His good purpose and work out own
