1 John 3:1-10 is a passage that is often misunderstood because of v.9, “Whosever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remained in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God”.  If we can come to the correct understanding of this verse, the...

1 Jn 2:18-29 is about antichrists and how to identify them and how to protect against them.  There is not just one antichrist.  There are many antichrists, v.18.  Jesus said there would be, Matt 24:24.  John wrote, “It is the last time”, which includes Tribulation saints.  And he said that...

In 1 Jn 2:8-17 John deals with three subjects.  He deals with a new commandment, spiritual maturity, and the right attitude toward the world. A New Commandment, 1 Jn 2:8-11 The new commandment that John wrote to them is the same new commandment Jesus gave in Jn 13:34.  Remember that...

There are two main points in 1 Jn 2:1-7 that we want to discuss in this lesson.  The first is that ye sin not, found in v.1.  And the second is that we keep his commandments, found in v.3.  There are many spiritual applications in 1 John that can help...

Manifestation and Declaration of the Word of Life, 1 Jn 1:1-4 John’s First Epistle General is a declaration of that which he saw and heard when Jesus, the Word of life, was on earth. He begins  his epistle in similar fashion to his gospel, writing of that which was from...

Heb 13 is very much like 1 Thes 5:12-28 and Rom 12:9-21, for instance.  Each of the verses from 1 to 17 are a succession of divers commands and instructions as Paul brings this letter to a close.  These “bullet points” are unlike the the former chapters.  Paul has finished...

In Heb 12:18-29, Paul exhorts the Hebrews to “refuse not him that speaketh”.  He contrasts the manner in which God spoke to the Jews from Mt Sinai when he gave them the old covenant with the way Jesus speaks to them before fulfilling the new covenant.  The point is that...

In the Tribulation, people must endure to the end to be saved, Matt 24:13, Heb 3:6, 14.  In Heb 12:1-17, Paul lists several duties of Tribulation saints to help them endure to the end.  We’ll study these duties of Tribulation saints today.  Tribulation saints must: Lay aside every weight and...

In Heb 11:23-40, Paul recounts how former Jewish saints lived by faith and accomplished great things.  By their example, he encourages Jewish Tribulation saints to live by faith, as well.   By faith they overcame fear – 11:23, 27.  Moses’s parents were not afraid of the king’s commandment when they...

In Heb 11:17-22, we will study the faith of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.  These men were all just.  And they are excellent examples to the Tribulation Jews of Heb 10:38, which says, “the just shall live by faith”.  There is something prophetic in the faith of every one of...
