Scripture Reading 1 John 2:29-3:10
Opening Prayer
Introduction
Exposition 1 (2:29-3:1)
Vs. 29- If someone “practices righteousness” that person is “born of God”
What does it mean to “practice righteousness”?
What does it mean to be “born of God”?
Vs. 1- Knowing God means being loved as His child but being “unknown” by the world.
This is the “kind of love” that God has for us, that he calls us sons!
Elaborate
The consequence is that we are no longer recognized by the world...
In other words...
I. God’s children can be identified by righteousness (2:29-3:1)
Implications:
Those born of God are not that way because they practice righteousness but rather it is a characteristic of them
Those born of God should rejoice because they are loved as a child
Those born of God must recognize that though they do practice righteousness it does not mean perfection.
Story about seminary class and preaching 1 John
Basically, the assumption here is that God is righteous therefor His children must be as well “like Father, like son”
