2) One must have the "proper attitude" of prioritizing obedience to God over men, as exemplified by Joseph and early Christians.
3) One must have the "proper acquaintances" by avoiding friendship with the world and being separate from unrighteousness. True Christians should seek to help others become friends of God rather than just being friends with

1) Christian fellowship is based on speaking the same things, being joined together in mind and judgment, and having fellowship both vertically with God and horizontally with other believers.
2) There are benefits to Christian fellowship both physically and spiritually, as believers support each other and fulfill the law of Christ by bearing one another's burdens.
3) While fellowship with other believers is encouraged, one cannot have fellowship with God and the world at the same time, as righteousness and lawlessness, light and darkness, Christ and Belial are mutually exclusive.

This document contains passages from the Bible about the identity and claims of Jesus Christ. It includes references to Jesus saying "I am" in the Gospel of John and explaining that He is the Messiah spoken of in prophecy. The document poses the question of whether Jesus' claims to be God were true or false, and if false, whether that would make Him a liar, hypocrite, demon, fool or lunatic. It quotes C.S. Lewis arguing that Jesus cannot merely be considered a great moral teacher, but must be accepted as the Son of God or rejected.
1. The document discusses the book of 1 John 5:11-15 and explains that these verses testify that God has given believers eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ.
2. It emphasizes that whoever has the Son has eternal life, while those who do not have the Son do not have eternal life.
3. John wrote these things so that believers may know with confidence and assurance that they have eternal life through faith in Jesus and may continue to believe in Him.
The document discusses what Old Testament and New Testament believers were waiting for during Advent. OT believers were waiting for God's promises to come true, his Spirit to flood in, a remnant to be saved, and the defiant to be judged. NT believers were waiting for Jesus, who would share their humanity, defeat death, free them from fear and slavery of death, and act as their high priest. The document suggests that while waiting for Jesus's second coming, believers should delight and trust in his presence, move in accordance with his will, revere his holiness, find security in him, rehearse his promises, watch for signs of his presence, and eagerly await his return.

The Bible describes three types of fellowship: fellowship with God the Father and Jesus Christ, fellowship with Jesus Christ through salvation, and fellowship with other believers through sharing in the same salvation. The document warns against having fellowship with evil or the works of darkness. It describes fellowship with believers as sharing in the salvation of Jesus Christ. Expressions of fellowship mentioned include sharing in doctrine, breaking bread, prayers, and sharing in the gospel.
Not only does Jesus teach us about the kind of people we should be in His Kingdom, He reminds us that there are rewards for serving Him in His Kingdom. In this lesson, we examine the rewards of a blessed life.
In this lesson you will learn that one of the barriers to full joy is loving the world. John provides three reasons to love the Father and not to love the world: 1) We cannot love both the world and the Father; 2) Lusts for the world are not from the Father; and 3) the world is passing away but the obedient one abides forever.
This document provides an overview and commentary of 1 John 1. It summarizes that the author was likely John, writing around AD 85-95 to counter false Gnostic teachings. 1 John calls believers to walk in the light through true doctrine, obedience, and devotion.

1 Cor. 1:9-10 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

This document outlines a Bible study on the character of God being forgiving based on passages from 1 John. The study has 6 sessions, with session 4 focusing on God being forgiving. Key points made in session 4 include: God grants judicial forgiveness and justification when we submit to Jesus as savior; Jesus serves as our advocate for ongoing forgiveness when we sin; and we can return to full fellowship with God through confession. The study encourages participants to respond to God's offer of forgiveness by self-evaluating, letting go of false guilt, and forgiving others.
1. We must accept God's sacrifice for our sins through Jesus. Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for all.
2. We must obey God's commands by keeping His word. Those who claim to know God but do not obey His commands are liars. True obedience comes through walking as Jesus walked.
3. We must walk as Jesus walked through obedience to God. Jesus is our example in living a sinless life through perfect obedience to the Father. We overcome sin by obeying God's word just as Jesus obeyed.
This document provides an overview and summary of 1 John 1:5-2:6. It discusses key points from the passage, including that God is light and without darkness; we cannot claim to have fellowship with God if we walk in darkness; but if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we will have fellowship with one another and Jesus' blood will purify us from sin. It also notes that if we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves, but if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us; and that Jesus is our advocate before the Father and the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
The document provides an overview of the gospel message. Some key points:
1) The gospel is the "good news" that Jesus came to save sinners and offer eternal life. He died on the cross for our sins and rose again.
2) All people are sinful and deserving of God's wrath, but through faith in Christ, God offers salvation, mercy, and a restored relationship with Him.
3) Believers are called to follow Christ, worship God, and share the gospel with others so that more may experience God's grace and salvation. The gospel transforms lives and gives hope of eternal life in heaven.
The document provides an overview of the gospel message. Some key points:
1) The gospel is the "good news" that Jesus came to save sinners and make things right between them and God.
2) All people were sinful and deserving of God's wrath, but God sent Jesus to die on the cross to pay the penalty for sins.
3) Through faith in Jesus, people can be saved, made alive in Christ, and have eternal life in heaven rather than facing eternal punishment.
The gospel calls people to repentance and faith in Jesus for salvation, which is a free gift of God's grace, not by works.
What is an advocate? It is one who pleads the case of another. Tertullus represented the Jews before Felix as their advocate. Paul stood alone - or did he? Jesus had promised that they would have an advocate to give them direction. We have an advocate before the father, Jesus Christ the righteous!
The document contains passages from 1 John chapters 1 and 2. It discusses several key themes: John and his fellow apostles witnessed and testify about the life and teachings of Jesus; walking in darkness or light impacts fellowship with God and others; claiming to be without sin is self-deception; and confessing sins results in forgiveness and purification by God. The overall message is that God offers assurance of forgiveness through Jesus' atoning sacrifice for sins, in order to facilitate fellowship with both God and other believers.
This document contains the summary of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on Ephesians 2:1-10. The sermon was divided into three parts:
1) What we were - Lost sinners are spiritually dead, enslaved by the world and Satan.
2) What God did - God, in His mercy and love, saved us through Christ despite our sinful state. He gave us spiritual life, raised us to sit with Him.
3) What we are now - As God's workmanship created for good works, believers now live empowered to do the deeds prepared by God. Good works prove the genuineness of one's faith and bring God
What Place Does Penance Play in a Christians Life? This study helps to answer this question. Is penance the same as repentance? Does penance have a place within our Christian experience?
The document discusses sin and holiness based on 1 John 1:5-2:2. It outlines three claims of holiness that are false, and three correct attitudes. The false claims are that we have fellowship with God while walking in darkness, that we bear no guilt of sin, and that we have not sinned. The correct attitudes are to walk in the light as God is in the light, confess our sins, and realize we are obligated to keep God's law, with Jesus as our advocate when we sin.
The document discusses the divine origin and absolute truthfulness of God's word. It notes that the Bible was written by humans under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, making it the very words of God. As God is truth, his word contained in the Bible is also entirely true. The process of God giving his word to Jesus, Jesus giving it to disciples, and the disciples writing it down resulted in Scripture that is completely reliable.
This document provides commentary on several passages from Romans and discusses the difference between being carnally minded versus spiritually minded. It notes that believers will still struggle with sin due to their sin nature, but they are not condemned because they are united with Christ. Unbelievers live according to their sinful nature and have their minds set on fulfilling fleshly desires, whereas believers desire to please God and have their minds set on spiritual things.
The document is a summary of a sermon delivered at the Midway City Vietnamese Alliance Church English Worship Gathering on December 27, 2009. The sermon discusses practicing Jesus' life and why it can be difficult, focusing on the realities of sin and faith according to passages from 1 John. It also examines how Christians can grow spiritually through obedience to God's word and walking as Jesus did.
Synopsis: John teaches us that an important part of being in fellowship with God is that we walk as He walked. To do this we must consider how he walked in the world and then be ready to imitate Him. Perhaps more importantly, this reminds us that truth is for doing.
Thoughts from this lesson from Martyn Lloyd-Jones in Studies in 1 John: Walking with God and Jim McGuiggan ( http://www.jimmcguiggan.com/weekly2.asp?id_message=58 )

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
