Here are some of my reflections on 1 John and how do I really know that I am a Child of God.
- Belief in Christ
- Hatred of the World, Flesh, and the Evil One (1 John 2)
- Love for the brethren, not in word alone, but in deed. (God expand my heart for the brethren, especially for the brethren in the third world) (1 John 3)
- Knowing that Jesus accomplish salvation and redemption already (1 John1)
- Acknowledging that I am a sinner (1 John 1)
- Knowing that Christ is my advocate (1 John 1)
- Discerning false prophets and the children of God by acknowleding that Christ has come in the flesh. This means that those who do not confess Christ or deny him ARE NOT children of God.
