Knowing God Pt. 2

1 John 4:1- 21

Test the Spirits

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.

6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

God Is Love

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

19 We love because he first loved us.

20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.


1 John 4:1- 21



THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD-

Thanks be to God!

Confession: Lord, we confess that we have listened to and believed the message of the world instead of the message of your Son. We need you to help us know and believe the Word of the Savior Jesus Christ.


Assurance: Thank you, Father, that we can know You in truth through Your Son whom you have sent. In His name we have salvation and true life. He is eternal life and we know You as we know Him.

Communion

The Lord's Supper is a sacred time of grace between believers and God.


At the table, we eat and drink the first fruits of the kingdom of God: the bread sent from heaven and the wine of the New Covenant. Both are found in the body and blood of our savior Jesus, and is the gift we receive from God to be reinvigorated to live for Him and to sacrifice all for the sake of knowing Christ and knowing more of His power and resurrection in our lives.

Rock Of Ages

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Let me hide myself in Thee

Let the water and the blood

From Thy wounded side which flowed

Be of sin the double cure

Save from wrath and make me pure


Ooooo, Ooooo


Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill Thy law's demands

Could my zeal no respite know

Could my tears forever flow

All for sin could not atone

Thou must save, and Thou alone


Ooooo, Ooooo


Nothing in my hand I bring

Simply to the cross I cling

Naked, come to Thee for dress

Helpless look to Thee for grace

Foul, I to the fountain fly

Wash me, Savior, or I die


Ooooo, Ooooo

Ooooo, Ooooo


Wash me, Savior, or I die

Wash me, Savior, or I die

Wash me, wash me, Savior, or I die

Wash me, Savior, or I die


Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Let me hide myself in Thee

Wash me, Savior, or I die

In Tenderness

In tenderness he sought me

Weary and sick with sin

And on His shoulders brought me

Back to His fold again

While angels in His presence sang

Until the courts of heaven rang


Oh, the love that sought me!

Oh, the blood that bought me!

Oh, the grace that brought me to the fold of God

Grace that brought me to the fold of God


He died for me while I was sinning

Needy and poor and blind

He whispered to assure me

"I've found thee; thou art Mine"

I never heard a sweeter voice

It made my aching heart rejoice


Oh, the love that sought me!

Oh, the blood that bought me!

Oh, the grace that brought me to the fold of God

Grace that brought me to the fold of God


Upon His grace I'll daily ponder

And sing anew His praise

With all adoring wonder

His blessings I retrace

It seems as if eternal days

Are far too short to sing His praise


Oh, the love that sought me!

Oh, the blood that bought me!

Oh, the grace that brought me to the fold of God

Grace that brought me to the fold of God


Oh, the love that sought me!

Oh, the blood that bought me!

Oh, the grace that brought me to the fold of God

Grace that brought me to the fold of God

Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me

What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer

There is no more for heaven now to give

He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom

My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace


To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus

For my life is wholly bound to His

Oh how strange and divine, I can sing, "All is mine"

Yet not I, but through Christ in me


The night is dark but I am not forsaken

For by my side, the Savior He will stay

I labor on in weakness and rejoicing

For in my need, His power is displayed


To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me

Through the deepest valley He will lead

Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome

Yet not I, but through Christ in me


No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven

The future sure, the price it has been paid

For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon

And He was raised to overthrow the grave


To this I hold, my sin has been defeated

Jesus now and ever is my plea

Oh the chains are released, I can sing, "I am free"

Yet not I, but through Christ in me


With every breath I long to follow Jesus

For He has said that He will bring me home

And day by day I know He will renew me

Until I stand with joy before the throne


To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus

All the glory evermore to Him

When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat

Yet not I, but through Christ in me


To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus

All the glory evermore to Him

When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat

Yet not I, but through Christ in me

When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat

Yet not I, but through Christ in me

Yet not I, but through Christ in me

Yet not I, but through Christ in me

Benediction

"In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
