Download or read book A Guide Through 1 John written by Benjamin Ramsaur and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in the tradition of Robert Law's classic "The Tests of Life", Benji Ramsaur takes the reader on a journey through the spiritual riches of 1 John. The testing facts of righteousness, love, and faith combine with the comforting declarations of this epistle to assure all genuine Christians that they possess life. A life the Son possessed in fellowship with the Father before time began and has now been manifested in the incarnation of Christ. This eternal life has its beginning within an individual when the Father God imparts his own nature in regeneration and it reaches ultimate fruition at the second coming of the Son. Seeking to undermine this Divine life were false teachers who sought to pull the rug out from under the real bodily sacrifice of Jesus Christ. They had once infiltrated the Christian assembly but had now pulled out. Consequently, this had the impact of disquieting those who had remained in fellowship with one another concerning whether or not they shared life in the Spirit. Contextually, this is where the last apostle, John, intervenes to pastorally bring the reassurance that these believers needed. Wrapped up in his assurance is the teaching that the new commandment to love one another has been realized within their spiritual community. Contrastingly, hatred, along with an unrighteousness and heretical teaching, marked the secessionists. Hence, a chasm existed between the spiritually alive children of God and the spiritually dead children of the Devil. That same difference exists today. Accordingly, for those on the side of light, this profound epistle was written that they may know they have eternal life.

Book excerpt: Concentrate on the biblical author's message as it unfolds.

With a unique layout designed to help you comprehend the form and flow of each passage, the ZECNT unpacks: The key message. The author's original translation. An exegetical outline. Verse-by-verse commentary. Theology in application. While primarily designed for those with a basic knowledge of biblical Greek, all who strive to understand and teach the New Testament will benefit from the depth, format, and scholarship of these volumes. 1-3 John In her commentary on John's letters, Karen H. Jobes writes to bridge the distance between academic biblical studies and pastors, students, and laypeople who are looking for an in-depth treatment of the issues raised by these New Testament books. She approaches the three letters of John as part of the corpus that includes John’s gospel, while rejecting an elaborate redactional history of that gospel that implicates the letters. Jobes treats three major themes of the letters under the larger rubric of who has the authority to interpret the true significance of Jesus, an issue that is pressing in our religiously pluralistic society today with its many voices claiming truth about God.

Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
