Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

| 1,554 views

Being born again is not about one’s lineage, religious affiliation, or philanthropic deeds; it requires a total surrender of the heart to Christ, who purchased our redemption with His life. Therefore, I appeal to you as one of Christ’s ambassadors, be reconciled to God before His Son returns!

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (2 Of 16)

In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

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. He said, “HE THAT SAITH, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not ...read more
