CHILDREN OF GOD, LOVE ONE ANOTHER

BOB MILLS

The story is told of a German philosopher who was stumbling through the famous Tiergarden of Berlin. He was deep in thought and shabbily dressed and the caretaker suspected that he must be a hobo who had wandered in. He stopped him and asked him, “Who are you> ” and “Where are you going? “ Startled from his thoughts the elderly man who had been asking himself the same questions, replied, “I don’t know. I wish someone would tell me.”

There is no reason for any Christian to be confused about these questions. The answer is in our Bible. They answers are, “I am a child of God, and I am on my way to heaven.”

Our Lord is not only the author of science and history but he came to save us and set us on the way to our Heavenly home. If you know Jesus, you know who you are and where you are going.

1 John 3: 1-9

1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us,

1 John 3:1 : John 3:16; 1 John 4:10

In all religions of man, man is reaching up to god. Here we note right from the start of our text, that in Christianity man is not reaching up to God, but God is reaching down to man. It is because of the great love of the Father he provided a way of salvation that any person can do. Even a child can understand that God loves him and has asked him to believe that Jesus is His Son and be obedient to him.

Not only does God make a way for man to be saved, but He adopts those who also do what he instructs, into his own family and will share his home with them.

that we would be called children of God; and such we are

1 John 3:1 : John 1:12, John 11:52, Romans 8:16, John 3:2, 10

For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

1 John 3:1 ,John 15:18, 21; 16:3

Don’t expect non-Christians to understand this for it is beyond their comprehension. Why? Because they do not know God. How can they? They do not know his word, and faith comes through the word, written or spoken, but,most of all,lived and observed in the lives of Christians.

The real aliens in this world are not “beings from outer space,” but are Christians. There is even a song, you may recognize it from the words, “this world is not my home, I’m just a passin through” We are on our way to our heavenly home right now. One day, soon, we will arrive yhere and move in.

John, the beloved disciple continues:

2 Beloved, now we are children of God,

1 John 3:2 : 1 John 2:7
1 John 3:2 : John 1:12; 11:52; Rom 8:16; 1 John 3:1, 10

We are not just guests. We are not visitors. That life is permanent, there is a difference. For the 47 years we lived in Africa, we were guests, labeled as “aliens” in our documents, even though we could have lived there as long as we lived, but there is a difference. There were things we could not do. We could not vote. We could, and did pay taxes. We bought a home. As far as people around us could see, there was no difference.

As Christians we were and are still different. America is my land of birth, and I can, and do, vote, but still it is not my eternal home. That is still to come.

Why? Because I have been adopted into God’s family, we are siblings, and Jesus is our brother by adoption. He paid the price that we might be grafted into the family. The Holy Spirit is at work within us to make us what we need to be. He brings life, eternal life.

We are aware that the beautiful roses in our gardens are all grafted onto roots that are vigorous,but they produce no flowers at all or very poor ones. We have three bushes by our door. The middle one died back and then grew out from below the graft. It is a vigorous rambling plant with no blossoms. I need to dig it out, but so far have just cut it off at the ground level.

The Christian is grafted into the family, his power and very life depends on the gift of the Holy Spirit he gained when he was baptized into the body. The Holy Spirit will transform us into the very image of the Lord. This is an enigma to a non-believer. But, have you ever met someone for the first time, and without being told, just know that they are a child of God? Of course you have; like recognizes like. That is one of the reasons we are told in scripture to marry within the brotherhood of the Christian family. That is the brotherhood of the church. It has not appeared as yet what we will be like. We will know that when He appears, for we will be like Him.

1 John 3:2 : Rom 8:19, 23
1 John 3:2 : Luke 17:30; Col 3:4; 1 John 2:28
1 John 3:2 : Rom 8:29; 2 Pet 1:4
1 John 3:2 : John 17:24; 2 Cor 3:18

3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

1 John 3:3 : Rom 15:12; 1 Pet 1:3
1 John 3:3 : John 17:19; 2 Cor 7:1

This is a key verse of the text. We, as Christians, want to be becoming more like our Lord every day, for we look forward to live with him in his home one day. We have to have the strength of the Spirit to prepare us for that glorious opportunity.

There as a time when we were without Christ.

Philippians 3:12 “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that that for which also I an apprehended of Christ Jesus. “

4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

1 John 1:8

“Practices” in the Greek means “to make sin habitual.” There is a difference between an occasional slip, which can be forgiven, a repentant Christian and a backslider who is not regretful, and who does not repent or ask to be forgiven. Some such, even deny that there is any such thing as sin, or speak of “white sins” as though there were grades or levels of sin. The Bible makes no such difference.

1 John 1:9
1 John 2:1

Sin is lawlessness, self serving, the breaking of the law of God, but more than that, it is the opposite of love. It can even be doing nothing at all. James 4:17 “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

5 You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him
there is no sin.

1 John 3:4 : Rom 4:15; 1 John 5:17
1 John 3:5 : 1 John 1:2; 3:8
1 John 3:5 : John 1:29; 1 Pet 1:18-20; 1 John 2:2

Christ died to make his followers holy, to sanctify them. His purposes must be our purposes. We must be working toward the same goals.

2 Corinthians 5:21 “he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

Ephesians 5:25-27 ”Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

We know that it was because God loved us that He sent Jesus,

John 3:16,17. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son , that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved.”

6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.

1 John 3:5 : 2 Cor 5:21; 1 John 2:29
1 John 3:6 : 1 John 3:9

7 Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous;

1 John 3:6 : 1 John 2:3; 3 John 11
1 John 3:7 : 1 John 2:1
1 John 3:7 : 1 John 2:26

8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.

1 John 3:8 : Matt 4:3
1 John 3:8 : 1 John 3:5
1 John 3:8 : John 12:31; 16:11
1 John 3:9 : John 1:13; 3:3; 1 John 2:29; 4:7; 5:1, 4, 18; 3 John 11

9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 3:9 : 1 Pet 1:23; 1 John 3:6; 5:18

¿QUÉ DEBO HACER PARA SALVARME?

Hechos 16:30

Arranged in the very words of inspired men by J.D. Phillips
1. Elios contestaron: - Cree en el Señor Jesus, y obtendrás la salvación tú y tu familia. (Hechos 16:31) Pero no es posible agradar a Dios sin tener fe, porque para acercase a Dios, uno tiene que creer que existe y que recompensa a los que lo buscan. (Hebereos 11:6) pero el que no crea, será condenado. (Marcos 16:16) porque si no creen que Yo Soy, morarán en sus pecados. (Juan 8:24) Así pasa con la fe: por sí sola, es decit, si no se demuestra con hechos, es una cosa muerta. (Santiago 2:17).
2. Vuélvanse a Dios (Hecos 2:38) Les digo que no; y si ustedes mismos no se vuelven a Dios, también morirán. (Lucas 13:3,5) Dios pasó por alto en otros tiempos la ignorancia de la gente, pero ahora ordena a todos, en tdas partes, que se vuelvan a él. (Hechos 17:30) ¡De manera que también a los que no son judíos les ha dado Dios la oportunidad de volverse a él y alcanzar la vida eterna! (Hecos 11:18).
3. Y con la boca se reconoce a Jesucristo para alcanzar la salvación. (Romanos 10:10) Si con tu boca reconoces a Jesús como Señor, y con tu corazón crees que Dios lo resucitó, alcanzarás la salvación. (Romanos 10:9) Si alguien se declara a mi favor delante de los hombres, yo también me declararé a favor de él delante de mi Padre que está en el cielo. (Mateo 10:32) Tú eres el Mesías (Mateo 16:16) Y el hombre confesió - Creo que Jesucristo es el Hijo de Dios. (Hechos 8:37).
4. Y aquella agua representaba el agua del bautiusmo, por medio del cual somos ahora salvados. (1 Pedro 3:21) El que crea y sea bautizado, obtendrá la salvación: (Marcos 16:16) Te aseguro que el que no nace de agua y del Espiritu, no puede entrar en el reino de Dios. (Juan 3:5) por pura misericordia nos salvó lavándonós y regenerándonos, y dándonos nueva vida por el Espíritu Santo. (Tito 3:5) Vuélvanse a Dios y bautícese cada uno en el nombre de Jesucristo, para que Dios les perdone sus pecados, y así él les dará el Espíritu Santo. (Hechos 2:38) Levántate, baitizate y lávate de tus pecados, invocando el nombre dei Señor. (Hechos 22:16) ya que al unirse a Cristo en el bautismo, (Gálatas 3:27) ¿No saben ustedes que, al quedar ubidos a Cristo Jesús en el bautismo, quedamos unitos a su muene? (Romanos 6:3) Por lo tánto, el que está unidi a Cristo es una nueva persona. (2 Corintos 5:17).
Esa bondad de Dios nos enseña a renunciar a la maidad y a los deseos nubdanos, y a lievar en el tiempo presente una vida de buen juicio, rectitud y piedad, mientras ilega el feliz cumplimiento de nuestra esperanza: el regreso glorioso de nuestro gran Dios y Salvador Jesucristo. El se entregó a la muerte por nosotros, para rescatarnos de loda maidad y limplarnos completamente, haciendo de nostros el pueblo de su propiedad, empeñados en hacer el bien. (Tito 2:12-14).
Los felicito porque siempre se acuerdan de mi y mantienen las tradiciones que les trasmiti. (1 Corintios 11:2).
Que el Señor Jesús derrame su graca sobre todos. (Apocalipsis 22:21).
Dichosos los que lavan sus ropas para tener derecho al árbol de la vida y poder entrar por las puertas de la ciudad. (Apocalipsis 22:14).

¿Cómo lo voy a estender, si no hay quien me lo expliqe ?

3111 - Spanish

Hechos 8:30-39

30. Cuando Felipe se acercó, oyó que el etiope leía el de Isaías; entonces le preguntó: -- ¿Entiende usted lo que está lyendo?
31. El etiope le contestó: – ¿Cómo lo voy a estender, si no hay quien me lo explique? Y le pidió a Felipe que subiera y se sentara juno a él.
32. La parte de la Escritura que estaba leyendo era esta: "Fue lievado como una oveja al matadero; como un cordero que se queda caliado delante de los que lo trasqilan, asi tampoco abrió el la boca.
33. Fue humillado, y no se le hizo justicia; ¿quién podrá hablar de su descendencia? Porque su vida fue arrancada de la tierra."
34. El funcionario etiope le preguntó a Felipe: – Dime, por favor, ¿de quién dice esto el profeta: de sí mismo o de algún otro?
35. Entonces Filipe, tomando como punto de partida el lugar de la Escritura que el etiope leía, le anunció la buena noticia acerca de Jesús.
36. Más tarde, al pasar por un sitio donde había agua, el funcionario dijo: – Aquí hay agua; ¿hay algún inconveniente para que yo seo bautizado?
37. Felipe le dijo: – Si cree usted de todo corazón, puede. Y el hombre contestó: – Creo que Jesucristo es el Higo de Dios.
38. Entonces mandó parar el carro; y los dos bajaron al agua, y Felipe lo bautizó.
39. Cuando subieron del agua, el Espíritu del Señor se lievó a Felipe, y el funcionario no lo volvió a ver; pero siguió su camino lleno de alegría.

AKASEMA, NITAWEZAJE KUELEWA?

2866 - Swahili

Matendo 8:26-40

26. Malaika wa Bwana akasema na Filipo, akamwambia, Ondoka ukaende upande wa kusini hata njia ile itelemkayo kutoka Yerusalemu kwenda Gaza; nayo ni jangwa.
27. Naye akaondoka, akaenda; mara akamwona mtu wa Kushi, towashi, mwenye mamlaka chini ya Kandake malkia wa Kushi, aliyewekwa juu ya hazina yake yote;
28. Naye alikuwa amekwenda Yerusalemu kuabudu, akawa akirejea, ameketi garini mwake akisoma chuo cha nabii Isaya.
29. Roho akamwambia Filipo, Sogea karibu na gari hili, ukashikamane nalo.
30. Basi Filipo akaenda mbio, akamsikia anasoma chuo cha nabii Isaya; akanena, Je!
31. Yamekuela haya unayosoma? Akasema, Nitawezaje kuelewa, mtu asiponiongoza? Akamsihi Filipo apande na kuketi pamoja naye.
32. Na fungu la Maandiko alilokuwa akilisoma ni hili, Aliongozwa kwenda machinjoni kama kondoo, Na kama vile mwana-kondoo alivyo kimya mbele yake amkataye manyoya, Vivyo hivyo yeye naye hafunui kinywa chake.
33. Katika kujidhili kwake hukumu yake iliondolewa. Ni nani atakayeeleza kizazi chake? Kwa maana uzima wake umeondolewa katika nchi.
34. Yule tswashi akamjibu Filipo, akasema, Nakuomba, nabii huyu asema maneno haya kwa habari ya nami; ni habari zake mwenyewe au za mtu mwingine?
35. Filipo akafunua kinywa chake, naye, akianza kwa andiko lilo hilo, akamhubiri habari njema za Yesu.
36. Wakawa wakiendelea njiani, wakafika mahali penye maji; yule towashi akasema, Tazama, maji haya; Ni nini kinachonizuia nisibatizwe?
37. Filipo akasema, Ukiamini kwa moyo wako wote, inawezekana. Akajibu, akanena, Naamini ya kwamba Yesu Kristo ndiye Mwana wa Mungu.
38. Akaamuru lile gari lisimame; wakatelemka wote mawili majini, Filipo na yule towashi; naye akambatiza.
39. Kisha, walipopanda kutoka majini, Roho wa Bwana akamnyakua Filipo, yule towashiasimwone tena; basi alikwenda zake akifurahi.
40. Lakini Filipo akaonekana katika Azoto, na alipokuwa akipita akahubiri Injili katika miji hata akafika Kaisaria.

KOREAN (?) TITLE TO BE SUPPLIED ACTS 8:26-

ETHIOPIAN

โรม 8

8:26 พระวิญญาณก็ทรงช่วยเราเมื่อเราอ่อนกำลังด้วยเช่นกัน เพราะเราไม่รู้ว่าเราควรจะอธิษฐานขอสิ่งใดอย่างไร แต่พระวิญญาณเองทรงช่วยขอเพื่อเราด้วยความคร่ำครวญซึ่งเหลือที่จะพูดได้

8:27 และพระองค์ ผู้ทรงตรวจค้นใจมนุษย์ ก็ทรงทราบความหมายของพระวิญญาณ เพราะว่าพระองค์ทรงอธิษฐานขอเพื่อวิสุทธิชนตามที่ชอบพระทัยพระเจ้า

8:28 เรารู้ว่า พระเจ้าทรงร่วมมือกับคนทั้งหลายที่รักพระองค์ให้เกิดผลอันดีในทุกสิ่ง คือคนทั้งปวงที่พระองค์ได้ทรงเรียกตามพระประสงค์ของพระองค์

8:29 เพราะว่าผู้หนึ่งผู้ใดที่พระองค์ได้ทรงทราบอยู่แล้ว ผู้นั้นพระองค์ได้ทรงตั้งไว้ให้เป็นตามลักษณะพระฉายแห่งพระบุตรของพระองค์ เพื่อพระบุตรนั้นจะได้เป็นบุตรหัวปีท่ามกลางพวกพี่น้องเป็นอันมาก

8:30 ยิ่งกว่านั้นบรรดาผู้ที่พระองค์ได้ทรงตั้งไว้นั้น พระองค์ได้ทรงเรียกมาด้วย และผู้ที่พระองค์ได้ทรงเรียกมานั้น พระองค์ได้ทรงโปรดให้เป็นผู้ชอบธรรม และผู้ที่พระองค์ทรงโปรดให้เป็นผู้ชอบธรรม พระองค์ก็ทรงโปรดให้มีสง่าราศีด้วย

8:31 ถ้าเช่นนั้นเราจะว่าอย่างไร ถ้าพระเจ้าทรงอยู่ฝ่ายเรา ใครจะขัดขวางเรา

8:32 พระองค์ผู้มิได้ทรงหวงพระบุตรของพระองค์เอง แต่ได้ทรงโปรดประทานพระบุตรนั้นเพื่อเราทั้งหลาย ถ้าเช่นนั้นพระองค์จะไม่ทรงโปรดประทานสิ่งสารพัดให้เราทั้งหลาย ด้วยกันกับพระบุตรนั้นหรือ

8:33 ใครจะฟ้องคนเหล่านั้นที่พระเจ้าได้ทรงเลือกไว้ พระเจ้าทรงเป็นผู้ที่ทำให้เราเป็นคนชอบธรรมแล้ว

8:34 ใครเล่าจะเป็นผู้ปรับโทษอีก ก็คือพระคริสต์ผู้ทรงสิ้นพระชนม์แล้ว และยิ่งกว่านั้นอีกได้ทรงคืนพระชนม์ ทรงสถิต ณ เบื้องขวาพระหัตถ์ของพระเจ้า และทรงอธิษฐานขอเพื่อเราทั้งหลายด้วย

8:35 แล้วใครจะให้เราทั้งหลายขาดจากความรักของพระคริสต์ได้เล่า จะเป็นความยากลำบาก หรือความทุกข์ หรือการข่มเหง หรือการกันดารอาหาร หรือการเปลือยกาย หรือการถูกโพยภัย หรือการถูกคมดาบหรือ

8:36 ตามที่เขียนไว้แล้วว่า `เพราะเห็นแก่พระองค์ ข้าพระองค์ทั้งหลายจึงถูกประหารวันยังค่ำ และนับว่าเป็นเหมือนแกะสำหรับจะเอาไปฆ่า'

8:37 แต่ว่าในเหตุการณ์ทั้งปวงเหล่านี้ เรามีชัยเหลือล้นโดยพระองค์ผู้ได้ทรงรักเราทั้งหลาย

8:38 เพราะข้าพเจ้าเชื่อมั่นว่า แม้ความตาย หรือชีวิต หรือทูตสวรรค์ หรือผู้มีบรรดาศักดิ์ หรือฤทธิ์เดชทั้งหลาย หรือสิ่งซึ่งมีอยู่ในปัจจุบันนี้ หรือสิ่งซึ่งจะมีในภายหน้า

8:39 หรือซึ่งสูง หรือซึ่งลึก หรือสิ่งอื่นใดๆที่ได้ทรงสร้างแล้วนั้น จะไม่สามารถกระทำให้เราทั้งหลายขาดจากความรักของพระเจ้า ซึ่งมีอยู่ในพระเยซูคริสต์องค์พระผู้เป็นเจ้าของเราได้
