They promise that these men will be free. But they themselves are chained to sin. For a man is chained to anything that has power over him.

There are men who have been made free from the sins of the world by learning to know the Lord Jesus Christ, the One Who saves. But if they do these sins again, and are not able to keep from doing them, they are worse than they were before.

But they want to forget that God spoke and the heavens were made long ago. The earth was made out of water and water was all around it.

But the heaven we see now and the earth we live on now have been kept by His word. They will be kept until they are to be destroyed by fire. They will be kept until the day men stand before God and sinners will be destroyed.

If we say we are joined together with Him but live in darkness, we are telling a lie. We are not living the truth.

My dear children, I am writing this to you so you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, there is One Who will go between him and the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the One Who is right with God.

He paid for our sins with His own blood. He did not pay for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world.

Anyone who says, "I know Him," but does not obey His teaching is a liar. There is no truth in him.

But whoever obeys His Word has the love of God made perfect in him. This is the way to know if you belong to Christ.

Whoever says he is in the light but hates his brother is still in darkness.

But whoever loves his brother is in the light. And there will be no reason to sin because of him.

Whoever hates his brother is not in the light but lives in darkness. He does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

The world and all its desires will pass away. But the man who obeys God and does what He wants done will live forever.

These left us. But they never belonged to us. If they had been a part of us, they would have stayed with us. Because they left, it is known they did not belong to us.

Dear friends, we are God's children now. But it has not yet been shown to us what we are going to be. We know that when He comes again, we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is.

The person who keeps on sinning belongs to the devil. The devil has sinned from the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.

Our heart may say that we have done wrong. But remember, God is greater than our heart. He knows everything.

Dear Christian friends, do not believe every spirit. But test the spirits to see if they are from God for there are many false preachers in the world.

This is love! It is not that we loved God but that He loved us. For God sent His Son to pay for our sins with His own blood.

If a person says, "I love God," but hates his brother, he is a liar. If a person does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God Whom he has not seen?
