(1
John 1, AMP)
[We
are writing] about the Word of LIFE
[In]
Him Who Existed from the Beginning,
Whom
we have seen with our [own] eyes
And
have touched with our [own] hands.
And
the LIFE [an aspect of His being] was revealed
(Made
manifest, demonstrated),
And
we saw (as eyewitnesses) and are Testifying to
And
Declare to you the LIFE, The Eternal LIFE [in Him]
Who
already existed with the Father
And
Who [actually] was made Visible—
Was
Revealed—To us [His followers].
What
we have seen and [ourselves] heard
We
are also telling you,
So
that you too may realize and enjoy Fellowship
As
Partners and Partakers with us.
And
this Fellowship that we have
(Which
is a distinguishing mark of Christians)
Is
with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
And
now we are writing these things to you
So
that our Joy [in seeing you included] may be full--
And
your Joy may be COMPLETE.
And
this is the MESSAGE—the Message of Promise--
Which
we have heard from Him
And
now are reporting to you:
God
is LIGHT and there is no Darkness in Him at all--
No,
not in any way.
[So]
if we say we are Partakers together
And
enjoy Fellowship with Him
When
we live and move and are walking about in Darkness,
We
are [both] speaking Falsely
And
do no live and practice the TRUTH [of the Gospel].
But
if we [really] are living and walking in the LIGHT
As
He [Himself] is in the LIGHT,
We
have [true, unbroken ] Fellowship with one another,
And
the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from Sin
In
all its forms and manifestations.
If
we say we have no Sin--
Refusing
to admit that we are Sinners--
We
Delude and lead ourselves astray,
And
the TRUTH [which the Gospel presents] is not in us--
Does
not dwell in our hearts.
If
we [freely] admit that we have Sinned and Confess our Sins,
He
is Faithful and Just [true to His own nature and promises]
And
will forgive our Sins (dismiss our lawlessness)
And
Continuously Cleanse us from all Unrighteousness--
Everything
not in Conformity to His will
In
Purpose, thought and action.
If
we say (claim) we have not Sinned, we Contradict His Word
And
make Him out to be False and a LIAR,
And
His Word is not in us--
The
Divine Message of the Gospel is not in our hearts.
(1
John 1, AMP)
For
whoever finds Me [Wisdom] finds LIFE,
And
shall draw forth and obtain Favor of the Lord.
But
he who misses Me or Sins against Me
Wrongs
and injures himself;
ALL
WHO HATE ME LOVE DEATH. (Proverbs 8:35,36,AMP)
The
apostle Paul says this:
We
preach Christ, the Messiah, CRUCIFIED,
Which
to the Jews is a Scandal
And
an Offensive Stumbling Block
(That
springs a snare-trap),
And
to the Gentiles it is Absurd
And
utterly unphilosophical nonsense.
But
to those who are CALLED,
Whether
Jew or Greek (Gentile),
Christ
[is] the Power of God and the Wisdom of God.
(1
Corinthians 23,24, AMP)
What
the “Church” has forgotten is this:
LIFE
is found in Christ ALONE--Everything else is DEATH.
We
are living among a people [unbelievers] who love DEATH,
The
World loves DEATH; and HATES Christ Jesus,
The
only LIFE THAT EXISTS.
Everything
they do and say is DEAD.
We
to, once loved DEATH,
Before
Christ Jesus revealed Himself to us
And
we made the Decision to follow Him.
Further,
if we, once having seen the LIGHT,
Continue
to walk in the Darkness of this Wicked World,
And
believe that we belong to Christ, then we are LIARS;
Then,
there is no TRUTH or LIGHT or LIFE in us.
Christ
Jesus warned us all:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's Present Form is Passing Away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being Ground to Powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as in Heaven!
