 30th

John 18:26 - 29


1 John 5:1 - 5

'To believe in Christ is to believe in His deity, in the power of His death to cleanse us from all sin and to avert the righteous wrath of a Holy Lord. It means that we believe that the love of God is expressed in the fullest measure by the Cross of Christ and that eternal life is experienced only by a faith union with Him, which is the product of His grace, appropriated by faith' Evan Forman


vs 1 -3

Faith is expressed in love.

Love

- For example

-- Choosing not to bear false witness.


Obedience

- Evidence of love

Psalm 108:8


Jonah disobeyed God, but the wind and waves and the fish didn't.


Commmands being implemented in a legalistic way is burdensome and crushing.


Matthew 11:28 - 30


Victory

Overthrowing the world.


vs 4, 5


Jesus at the Cross - Victory over sin, the Devil and the world.

We need to stand in that place.


We need to live out the victory.

Jesus has achieved the victory for us.

In Christ we are victorius.
