When a person comes to faith in Jesus Christ, He begins to make changes in our lives.
He lovingly works His changes from the inside out.
Sometimes, the changes that we experience are amazing and exciting!
Sometimes, the changes are a little more difficult for us.
One of the hardest realizations for a new believer is that we still have the capacity to sin - even though we are saved.
This can be discouraging to a new believer.
I think of the apostle Paul (known as Saul at the time of his conversion) who was told right after his conversion that Jesus had chosen him to suffer many things for the name of Christ.
Now, how would you have reacted if that was what we told you when you trusted Christ as your Savior?
“____________, you have been specially and specifically chosen by God to suffer persecution, affliction, and eventually death for your faith in Jesus Christ!”
That would not be exciting news for anyone.
It was not surprising to Saul who had been a persecutor of Christians.
He knew full well the possibilities that now faced him as a follower of Jesus Christ.
Peter, another follower of Jesus said,
1 Peter 4:12
Knowing the reality of cruel and even brutal spiritual and human opposition, Paul said to the believers in Colosse,
He also told his young protege, Timothy:
It is important for us also to remember,
but also, remember:
Keep in mind
Ephesians 6:12
While we do not always understand exactly what God is doing or why He is allowing certain situations in our lives, we do have the Holy Spirit Who teaches us and strengthens us as we grow.
Throughout this first epistle that John wrote to the believers in his day, John speaks of three benefits and blessings we enjoy as believers: Light, Love, and Life.
As we conclude our study of 1 John, we see a basic summary of these given to us in very practical applications so that we may live this life in the way that Christ has called us.
First, we see the
Light
In the dark, we do not see nor understand what is happening around us.
Many have grown so accustomed to the spiritual darkness they are in that they do not know the possibility of knowing and understanding what is real.
Jesus has sent His Holy Spirit into this world to shine the Light of truth into our lives and show us the way to eternal life.
What a blessing to KNOW that we HAVE eternal life!
When the Bible speaks of eternal life, It means that you have a relationship with Jesus Christ, and He has given you a place in Heaven with Him.
You will receive it in its fullness when this life is over, but it is yours even now!
It is a present possession!
If you cannot honestly say that you know that you have eternal life, You can know today.
The Bible says,
That simply means
God loves you even though you are a sinner.
Your sin has an ultimate consequence - Death.
Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sin.
He offers you a gift - freedom from sin and eternal life.
Receive that gift by trusting Him.
