Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (5 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

In a previous sermon we dealt with what John had to say about how we can KNOW that WE KNOW THE LORD.

We discovered that anyone can say that they know the Lord...anyone! All one has to say is, “I know the Lord.” John used the word, “saith,” numerous times. He referred to it in: • 1 John 2:4.

Provoking Thoughts From First John (1 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

1 John is called one of the “General Epistles,” because it was not sent to a specific church. Rather, it was sent to churches in general.
