PASSIONATE PURSUIT...WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

1 John 1:3
 
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship in him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
 
Grace and peace be multiplied in Christ Jesus as we continue to seek His holy face. It is needful to mention the letter of John, the beloved disciple of Christ, because in this writing he is addressing fellowship. The Lord doesn't want His chosen to be caught in snares and traps of the adversary. Many false brethren have crept in and they desire to steal the “children's bread.” They are attempting to absorb the resources and the strength of the truth saints of the Most High. They spy out our liberties and attempt to pervert the Gospel that we have been introduced to from the beginning. John reminds us that true fellowship is with the Father and the Son Jesus Christ. In him there is no half-way or almost. Jesus is real. His signs, miracles, and wonders are real. Jesus Christ is no respecter of persons. Healing is available because you believe. Deliverance is available because you believe. It was already paid with the blood of Jesus. Be comforted in the love of Jesus because there is no greater love than one who laid down His life for a friend. Know the truth. Be not deceived. In him is light and there is no darkness in him at all. Those who do things of the darkness have no fellowship but lie. There isn't any conspiracy and folks working iniquity and doing it on behalf of Jesus. Those who steal, kill, and destroy walk in darkness and will have their part with the liars in the Lake of Fire. Those who work abominations will have their part in the Lake of Fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. If we walk not in the truth we deceive ourselves. There is not true fellowship unless it is in the light of Christ that has destroyed the wicked even with the very brightness of His coming. We shall have fellowship in unity with that light and with one another. He has cleaned us from the sins and darkness and is just to forgive through our repentance because of the depths of His love. Therefore, he pleads to abide in that love that your joy may be full.
