Okay, I'm lying.

I bet I've never met Prince Charles never even seen him in real life.

but he is a true climb and too many years have this one sounds Really arrogant or maybe the claim of a complete lunatic?

I do know.

This is how Jesus defines a ton of life was looking Jones, gospel for a second.

This is eternal life that they know you.

The only true God and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Let me see, you know, go up to in this claim doesn't sound like you by tonight.

If you think about it, it is, it is even more that I know, King Charles Well I'm going to get to do a sort of bikes this morning a little b s of a 7. We have a full and Kathy with us this morning but she's brilliant.

I don't want to make sure that they have time to update us on that work.

I do say that we have time for communion and maybe I'm officially to finish the service.

It's time to get down to the ship sinks to have tea and coffee, say it's just two bikes today and this is it, he is writing to Christians who are pretty anxious and pretty confused.

Why are they?

Well, because some of the, some of that number have left, I left them.

And they were saying some, some very, very different things to do.

The things that the apostles had said they were trying to take people with them as well.

If you want to know how I knew this, then catch me at the door at the end of town.

Censor, I have a coffee and I'll show you some of a b.

If Alexa is this, how I know there's some people had left.

They left something very different things and this has left the Christians.

Join his writing to you.

Anxious and confused at this is really really important background.

If you are studying this letter in your small groups or on your own between Sundays, because if you get hold of this, it makes it makes sense of the letter as a whole

Well, how we to tell really?

Who actually knows God and who doesn't have a way to know?

You have a way to be sure that we know God we should go with in.

I mean, somebody's office legal it wrong.

I'm Jones.

Major, major purpose of writing is to reassure these Orthodox Christians but perplexed Christians, he wants them.

He wants them not to be anxious.

Not to be confused, says 1 John 5:13.

I write these things to you.

Who believe in the name of the son of God so that you may know That you have eternal life.

He's not releasing to you them, to tell him off.

He's running to them, to encourage them and to give you give them a surance.

So you might have noticed this in 21 and this this is something that carries All Men chapter 2 and 3.

The rest of the letter, it's like, the author has two boxes and he's, he's getting a rope, a box, and he's twisting them together in one box is encouragement.

He wants to encourage those who are Christians, but who are anxious.

And the other box is explosia.

It was to expose those who claim that they know God, but really, they are imposters need to do, but it went with me, just for a moment and just see if we can figure out which of these things in chapter two coming from which box.

So there's two boxes.

One is encouraged to encourage those who treated Christians.

I want to expose expose those who claim to be bombs, which box of these things coming from.

What do you think of this one?

We know we've come to know him if we keep his commands.

Courage, everyone agree.

Good.

Let's have this one.

I know him.

But you see if anyone if Isis would love for.

God is complete in them.

This is how we know we are in him.

He claims to live him in.

He must live as Jesus dated.

Collapse.

The time.

I am their friends.

I'm not writing you and you come on but an old one which you've had since the beginning.

This all.

Come on this.

The message you have had you.

Come on History.

Seen in him and in you because the darkness is passing and the True Light is already Shining.

Courage.

It's quite easy.

This game, isn't it?

Anyone who claims to be in the light, but hates a brother or sister is still in the Darkness.

Space.

Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the lights and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.

Courage.

But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness, they do not know where they are going because the darkness has blinded them.

We could go on but you see how it works.

You got these two boxes and he's winding these things together.

What does it mean for me?

I wasn't mean for you.

Well, if we just look up 10, things that go back to the first three, be great to do it with y'all.

This, if you got time to hit 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 10 wrong with this one, we know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands.

I would let me ask you this kind of a personal question.

What would you say?

What is your answer?

Is anybody brave enough to give me their answer to this question?

Oh, you keeping the commands and she's not a trick question.

Weather.
