Today in BLC I shared from the scripture 1 John 5:9-15 where we looked at the author assuring us that when we receive Christ in our lives, we received eternal life. And if eternal life already started for us, we can live life with confidence doing the will of God. The author also assured us that when we pray according to His will, He hears us and will answer. How do we know His Will? We then went to Psalm 1 the Psalm for today. We learnt to delight in the law of the Lord and be planted as a tree by streams of living water. Let us do these things as a family together, and continue on serving Him with assurance. We closed with the song Be it into me according to your Word.

5. Today…
What does God’s Word have to say to us today?
1 John 5: 9-15

6. 9 If we receive the
testimony of men, the
testimony of God is
greater, for this is the
testimony of God that he
has borne concerning his
Son.
10 Whoever believes in the
Son of God has the
testimony in himself.
Whoever does not believe
God has made him a
liar, because he has not
believed in the testimony
that God has borne
concerning his Son.

God spoke: Life is in His SON
Do we believe in God? Really?
Then you know deep down in your
heart that this is true
Having Jesus with us started our
Eternal Life

Son has life;
whoever does not
have the Son of God
does not have life.

Know

things to you
who believe in the
name of the Son of
God, that you may
know that you have
eternal life.

9. What is the message for TODAY?
• The Son in us is Eternal Life
• The Word’s message today is to
those who follow Christ, who
believe
• We have Jesus, we have His Holy
Spirit
• We have Eternal Life
• That is the Word of God to us

10. 14 And this is the
confidence that we
have toward him,
that if we ask
anything according
to his will, he hears
us.
15 And if we know
that he hears us in
whatever we ask,
we know that we
have the requests
that we have asked
of him.

11. What is the message for TODAY?
The assurance of answered prayer
KNOWING His WILL

13. PSALM 1

21. Chorus
Be it unto me
According to Your Word
According to Your promises
I can stand secure
Carve upon my heart
The truth that sets me free
According to Your Word O Lord
Be it unto me
Be It Unto Me

22. Verse 1
You promised Your blood will
deliver
Lord we believe it's true
You've promised us joy like a river
Lord we receive it from You
These things You have spoken
and You're bringing to pass
This world's disappearing but
Your Word will last
Be It Unto Me… (cont)

23. Verse 2
You promised to carry our
sorrows
Lord we believe it's true
You've promised unending
tomorrows
Lord we receive them from You
You'll be our provider,
in Your Word it's revealed
By the stripes that You bore,
Lord we have been healed
Be It Unto Me… (cont)
