1 Johnનમૂનો

One excellent and very effective way to understand what a book of the Bible is teaching is simply to list and study its straight forward instructions.

These are the instructions in 1 John. Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight one instruction for you to focus on today, and then read through the list.

• Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did - 2:6.
• Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them - 2:15.
• As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you - 2:24.
• But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him - 2:27.
• And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming - 2:28.
• Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray - 3:7.
• For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another - 3:11.
• Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother - 3:12.
• Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you - 3:13.
• This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters - 3:16.
• Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth - 3:18.
• And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us - 3:23.
• Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world - 4:1.
• Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God - 4:7.
• Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another - 4:11.
• And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister - 4:21.
• If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life - 5:16.
