Love Notes August 3 thru August 8

MONDAY
AUGUST 3

LOVE NOT THE WORLD (structure)

1 John 2:15

Do not love the world or anything in the world.

If anyone loves the world, the Love of the Father is not in him.

The world, in this context, refers to the world system, the moral structure of how the world works.

When we give our love to the world structure instead of to the Father to whom this love is due, then the Love of the Father is not in us.

Loving the world in this factor means we are embracing worldly values, our hearts are skewed.

We must turn back to God the Father and repent of this wickedness before it is too late to turn.

THE LAST HOUR

THE LAST HOUR

1 John 2:18

Children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know that it is the last hour.

We are not living in the last days, as many are living their lives under that illusion. We are living in the last hour, as the apostle so clearly stated when he wrote this epistle so long ago.

While the abomination of desolation who will declare himself god and dare to sit on the throne in the temple that is being built, many who disbelieve God's Word Is True make varying antichrist claims:

> there is no god

> there is no sin

> there is neither heaven nor hell, therefore this life is all there is

> I can do what I want without repercussion or consequences

> money is power

> the Bible is just a book of fairy tales

> my good deeds will gain me entrance into heaven, if there is one

The above list is just an example of antichrist beliefs, but what was true when the Bible was written is true today. For the Word of God is Alive and powerful. It never changes.

UNDEARLY DEPARTED

UNDEARLY DEPARTED

1 John 2:19

They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.

John is speaking of wolves in sheep's clothing. People who appear to be Christians, but actually are not.

2 John 1:7

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

1 John 4:2-3

By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and is already in the world at this time.

These antichrist speakers and teachers were never a part of the body of Christ, though their words and actions appeared to make them Christians, eventually the distorted truths they were speaking in the church were revealed and they had to leave.

How do we recognize antichrist people? By knowing the Word of God. By asking the Author, God, to reveal Himself to us when we read it. And believing that what His Word says is Truth. Unfallible, undeniable divine TRUTH.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believes in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

Romans 10:13

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

1 Corinthians 1:18

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
