1 JOHN    KNOW – 1Jn1:1-4

          Know evidenced by obedience

That which was from the beginning,(A) which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,(B) which we have looked at and our hands have touched(C)—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.

The life appeared;(D)

we have seen it

and testify to it,(E)

and we proclaim to you the eternal life,(F) which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard,(G) so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.(H) We write this(I) to make our[a] joy complete.(J)

KNOW

1JOHN 2

We know(E) that we have come to know him(F) if we keep his commands.(G) Whoever says, “I know him,”(H) but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.(I) But if anyone obeys his word,(J) love for God[a] is truly made complete in them.(K) This is how we know(L) we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.(M)

Back to Jude

How do we CONTEND ( not also ran) for the faith?

        Jude 3… (I felt compelled to write and

        urge you to CONTEND for the faith(J) that

        was once for all entrusted to God’s holy

        people.)

2 JOHN    LOVE

         Love one another antidote

And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning.(I) I ask that we love one another. And this is love:(J) that we walk in obedience to his commands.(K) As you have heard from the beginning,(L) his command is that you walk in love.

I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ(M) as coming in the flesh,(N) have gone out into the world

3 JOHN    TRUTH    John 14:6 (way, Truth, life)

         Absolute truth – always yes

         

John 8 ( truth tied to Jesus )

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH will set you free.”

1 TIMOTHY 2

This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the TRUTH. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the TRUTH, I am not lying—and a TRUE and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

2 PETER  1

15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
