Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (4 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

In 1 John, chapter one, John had the audacity to tell some of those who claimed to be saved that they were liars.

We know this because we see he called those people liars five times. He used “liar(s)” in: • 1 John 1:10. • 1 John 2:4. • 1 John 2:22. • 1 John ...read more

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