1 John 3
← 1 John 02 | 1 John | 1 John 04 →
- See how great a love
- the Father //YHWH//
- has given to us[1], //believers who have receive the Ruach// Deut-04#v1
- that we should be called
- children of God[2]! Deut-14#v1-2, Exod-33#v17
- For this cause //because we are children of YHWH//
- the world doesn't know us[3],
- because it didn't know him. Exod-33#v7
- the world doesn't know us[3],
- the Father //YHWH//
- Beloved, now we are
- children of God.
- It is not yet revealed
- what we will be;
- but we know that when he is revealed, 1 Cor-13#v12, Phil-03#v20-21
- Everyone who has this hope[4] //of seeing him just as he is// Num-14#v19,
- set on him
- purifies himself[5], Exod-30#v18
- even as he is pure. Ps-24#v3-4, Exod-29#v43
- purifies himself[5], Exod-30#v18
- set on him
- Everyone who sins
- also commits Lawlessness.
- Sin is lawlessness[6]. Deut-09#v7
- It is not yet revealed
- children of God.
Sin = lawlessness
Tabernacle language: Those outside the camp do not know YHWH, those in the camp keep his ways. They have to have an Offerings and cleansing Bronze Laverin order to enter into the Tabernacle.
- You know that
- he //Jesus, the Messiah// was revealed
- to take away our sins[7], Isa-53#v5, Lev-17#v11, Exod-25#v17
- and no sin is in him.
- Whoever remains Jer-31#v33,
- he //Jesus, the Messiah// was revealed
Tabernacle language: Jesus is the Offerings, Bronze Altar. Those who kept on sinning were put out of the camp. Lev-16#v22, Deut-23#v14
Jesus takes away our sin (lawlessness) (like the goat on Day of Atonement), whoever is in him does not sin (isn't lawless), those who don't know him have sin (lawlessness)
The Atonement cleanses the Tabernacle which is where YHWH Dwells.
- Little children,
- let no one lead you astray.
- He who does Righteousness Deut-06#v25
- He who sins[10]
- is of the devil[11] //adversary//, Deut-28#v15
- for the devil
- has been sinning
- from the beginning.
- has been sinning
- for the devil
- To this end //because of the sinning//
- the Son of God
- was revealed[12]:
- that he might destroy Exod-06#v6
- the works of the devil. Gen-03#v15,
- that he might destroy Exod-06#v6
- was revealed[12]:
- the Son of God
- is of the devil[11] //adversary//, Deut-28#v15
- Whoever is born of God
- doesn't commit sin,
- because his seed Isa-53#v10
- remains in him, Isa-06#v13
- and he can't sin,
- because he is born of God.
- and he can't sin,
- remains in him, Isa-06#v13
- because his seed Isa-53#v10
- doesn't commit sin,
- let no one lead you astray.
Do not be lead astray from this Good News: Jesus came to destroy Unrighteousness (sinning and lawlessness) the work of the Adversary. Righteousness (not sinning, keeping the law) is of YHWH and Jesus.
- In this //Righteousness (not sinning/not lawless) vs Unrighteous (sinning, lawless)//
- the children of God are revealed[13], Ps-119#v172. Exod-25#v31
- and the children of the devil.
- Whoever doesn't do righteousness
- is not of God[14],
- neither is he who doesn't love his brother.
- For this is the message which you heard from the beginning,
- Whoever doesn't do righteousness
The Righteous (children of God, not sinning, not lawless) love others, the unrighteous (children of the adversary, sinning and lawless) hate others. Matt-22#v40 "The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments ..."
Children of ... goes back to the two seeds - Gen-03#v15
- We know that we //believers who have receive the Ruach//
- have passed out of death into life[17], Deut-30#v19
- because we love the brothers.
- He who doesn't love his brother
- remains in death[18]. Ezek-18#v4
- Whoever hates his brother
- is a murderer[19], Gen-09#v6, Exod-20#v13,
- By this we know love,
- because he //Jesus, the Messiah//
- laid down his life for us[21]. Gen-22#v10-12
- And we ought to lay down our lives
- for the brothers.
- But whoever has the world's goods[22]
- and sees his brother in need,
- then closes his heart of compassion against him,
- how does God's love remain in him? Exod-25#v23, Lev-24#v9
- then closes his heart of compassion against him,
- and sees his brother in need,
- because he //Jesus, the Messiah//
- have passed out of death into life[17], Deut-30#v19
The Table of Showbread provide bread each week for the Priests who owned nothing. They were provided for by some of the people's offerings.
-
My little children,
- let's not love
- in word only, or with the tongue only,
- but in deed and truth.
- And by this //loving in deed and truth//
- we know that
- we are of the truth,
- and persuade our hearts before him, //to calm, quiet, or set at rest by removing doubt or fear//
- because if our heart condemns us,
- God is
- greater than our heart,
- and knows all things Exod-34#v6-7[23].
- God is
- Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us,
- we have boldness toward God[24]; Ps-05#v12
- so whatever we ask[25], Exod-30#v1
- we receive from him[26],
- because we keep his //YHWH's// commandments
- and do the things that are pleasing in his //YHWH//. sight. Deut-28#v2,
- we receive from him[26],
- because if our heart condemns us,
- we know that
- And by this //loving in deed and truth//
- but in deed and truth.
- in word only, or with the tongue only,
- let's not love
-
This is his commandment, //singular//
- that we should believe in the Name
- of his Son, Jesus Christ,
- and love one another[27], Lev-19#v18,
- even as he //YHWH// commanded. Deut-06#v5, Exod-31#v18
- He who keeps his Commandments[28] Exod-19#v5-6
- remains in him[29], Num-02#v2
- and he in him. Exod-25#v8 Exod-25#v10
- By this we know that he remains in us[30],
- by the Spirit Ruach which he gave us. Ezek-36#v27,
- that we should believe in the Name
We have to build the dwelling place within us, it has to remain Holy, Clean, for YHWH to dwell among us, just like they did in the wilderness. By being Righteous (sinless and law abiding) we remain in him and he in us. By being Unrighteous (sinful and lawless) we can not remain in the camp and are put out with the adversary. Unclean, Common, Clean, Holy
