We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

This is why we speak the truth. Since God is truth, we – His offspring – are called to imitate Him and be truth tellers. It is one way that God’s people are recognized. Lies and deception are wrong because they are against God’s very nature… Speaking truth instead of lies is not simply being nice. It is a declaration of allegiance. Truth is a shibboleth – a telltale mark – revealing that you belong to the kingdom of God.
Edward Welch

In his Treatise Concerning Religious Affections, Jonathan Edwards suggested that true growth in Christian discipleship is not finally mere excitement, increasing use of religious language, or a growing knowledge of Scripture. It is not even an evident increase in joy or in love or concern for the church. Even increases in zeal and praise to God and confidence of one’s own faith are not infallible evidences of true Christian growth. What, then, is evidence of true Christian growth? According to Edwards, while all these things may be evidences of true Christian growth, the only certain observable sign of such growth is a life of increasing holiness, rooted in Christian self-denial. The church should be marked by a vital concern for this kind of increasing godliness in the lives of its members.

1JN 1:1 Šta beše ispoèetka, šta èusmo, šta videsmo oèima svojim, šta razmotrismo i ruke naše opipaše, o reèi života:
1JN 1:2 I život se javi, i videsmo, i svedoèimo, i javljamo vam život veèni, koji beše u Oca, i javi se nama;
1JN 1:3 Šta videsmo i èusmo to javljamo vama da i vi s nama imate zajednicu; a naša je zajednica s Ocem i sa Sinom Njegovim Isusom Hristom.
1JN 1:4 I ovo vam pišemo da radost vaša bude ispunjena.
1JN 1:5 I ovo je obeæanje koje èusmo od Njega i javljamo vama, da je Bog videlo, i tame u Njemu nema nikakve.
1JN 1:6 Ako kažemo da imamo zajednicu s Njim a u tami hodimo, lažemo i ne tvorimo istine.
1JN 1:7 Ako li u videlu hodimo, kao što je On sam u videlu, imamo zajednicu jedan s drugim, i krv Isusa Hrista, Sina Njegovog, oèišæava nas od svakog greha.
1JN 1:8 Ako kažemo da greha nemamo, sebe varamo, i istine nema u nama.
1JN 1:9 Ako priznajemo grehe svoje, veran je i pravedan da nam oprosti grehe naše, i oèisti nas od svake nepravde.
1JN 1:10 Ako kažemo da ne sagrešismo, gradimo Ga lažom, i reè Njegova nije u nama.
