o all the saints in Christ,

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

The writer of 1 John fully understands that human life involves decision-making; each and every moment of our lives, we make choices- choices of what to believe, what to do, where we place ourselves spatially and relationally. Because of the manner in which God has come to us in Christ Jesus, the writer of 1 John believes that the choices we make as Christians should reflect the love we receive in Christ, and therefore we should not walk in a darkness composed of sin and alienation from God. This darkness shares an affinity with those who would conform to worldly desires built upon deception.

We read from the words of 1 John: "Little children, let us love, not just in word or speech, but in truth and action. And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him" (3:18-22). Our relationship with God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ bears faithful witness as we abide in him and obediently follow his instruction which is to love as he loves us.

To love as Jesus loves can be challenging in a world of many ideas and opinions, in a world of continual judgment. Here, the writer of 1 John gives this caution: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God" (4:1-3). The choices we make reveal the truth of our confessions and the Spirit/spirit to which we listen to- that which is Christlike or that which is antichrist-like.

The writer of 1 John insists that the world often does not reflect the love that God has for the world, But "everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life and live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us... If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us" (4:8-12).

So, whatever we come to decide upon this day and always, may we fully be convinced of God's love for us in and through Christ Jesus.  Pastor Johno all the saints in Christ,

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
