Introduction
I love to the study God’s design for the church.
I love this church.
Where else can you have Lang’s pad thai and Leisa banana pudding in the same meal.
It just doesn’t happen outside of our church family.
Let’s not look at what makes our church unique maybe to other churches but lets look at what makes the church unique to anything in this world.
What is the greatest aspects of church is not what makes us unique to other churches but what makes us gloriously the same as all Gospel preaching churches.
1 John 3:11–24 (KJV 1900)
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him?
Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.
He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him.
And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
How do we know..
that we have passed from death unto life?
we are of the truth?
that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us?
Have we passed from death to life?
If so we will love the brethren.
1 John 3:14 (KJV 1900)
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.
He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
New life comes with a new walk.
We are to walk in the good works he has given us.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Contrast with that of Cain. 1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him?
Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
There’s just one Old Testament reference in this entire epistle and the only proper name.
How does Cain relate to the unloving.
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Cain was presented as a religious man
Cain and Abel had the same parents, Adam and Eve.
T
They were raised in the same home.
They had the same influences.
They were called to the same God to offer sacrifice.
They both brought sacrifices to God.
Cain is never presented as an atheist.
He is presented as a religious man.
The only God they knew about was the creator God, and they knew the God who was Creator.
Outward ritual, outward religiosity is no proof that a person is born of God.
Cain failed the test of love.
It’s clear that even though he was not an atheist, even though he was worshiping the true God, he was worshiping Him in a wrong way and he was worshiping him from a wicked heart.
The real test of Cain’s true religion wasn’t just his sacrifice.
That was one test; that wasn’t the full test.
We could say, “Well, he was trying to get there by works and that’s bad.”
It was worse than that.
He despised the man who was obedient to God.
He despised the man who was truly righteous.
John 13:35 (KJV 1900)
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
We see two clear proofs of being from death to life in 1 John
1 John 3:10 (KJV 1900)
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Much of 1 John is about how Jesus came to overcome the evil one.
Being that the Spirit lives inside of us sin will never have a permanent dwelling place.
(no mother-in-law suite)
In our Life Together we call one another to a life of repentance and rejoicing.
The new life is a life together.
When are raised to walk in walk in newness of life we do this in the context of a church family that is going to walk with us.
Jesus models this for us; the multitudes, the 70, the 12, the 3, John the Beloved, when he went to be alone he took people with him
Paul has same example Acts 17:15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
Not just Paul but the entire church.
Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Evidently clear in Scriptures this life together is commanded for us
The Apostle Paul picks up the theme and gives over a dozen ways.
We are now made one.
Romans 12:5 “So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”
We are told to be affectionate one unto another.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love;
Out doing in showing each other honor.
Romans 12:10 ..in honour preferring one another
We should help build up one another.
Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
We are to help instruct one another.
Romans 15:14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
We should provide equal care to one another.
1 Cor 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
With our new found liberty we should serve one another.
Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
We are called on to bear one another’s burdens.
(many times this comes in the form of moving furniture) Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
We are to do with patiently.
Ephesians 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
We are even called to submit to one another.
Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
