Church notes - 14th May 2023

 14th

1 John 5:6 - 21

Who is Jesus?

The answer

- Vitally important.

- It needs to be a lot more than 'Just a man'!

He was fully qualified to die for our sins.


To be certain about where we're spending eternity, we need to be certain about who Jesus is.


Fully God and Fully Man.

vs 6 - 8

Witnesses

Water - His baptism by John as a man.

Mark 1:9 - 12

All three persons of the Trinity.

The Blood

He actually experienced the death on the Cross.

The Spirit

The Truth


John is testifying to the truth.


vs 11, 12

To have the Son

- We are forgiven!


Do you have the Son?

If so, you have confidence that you are Saved and have eternal life.


Eternal life is not a prize to be earned, but an undeserved gift.

Eternal life is found in Christ.

This gift of life in Christ is a present possession to be enjoyed now.


vs 13

An encouragement. If you have faith in Jesus. You can have assurance that you are saved.


vs 14, 15

We can approach God with confidence.


vs 16, 17


James 5:16

Galatians 6:1

We need to encourage each other in difficulty.


Unpardonable sin

Denial of the saving truth. The individual refusing to appropriate God's grace.


vs 21

Idol - a substitute for God.


Who is Jesus Christ?

He is the Son of God.
