1 John 2:7-17 NCV [7] My dear friends, I am not writing a new command to you but an old command you have had from the beginning. It is the teaching you have already heard. [8] But also I am writing a new command to you, and you can see its truth in Jesus and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. [9] Anyone who says, “I am in the light,” but hates a brother or sister, is still in the darkness. [10] Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light and will not cause anyone to stumble in his faith. [11] But whoever hates a brother or sister is in darkness, lives in darkness, and does not know where to go, because the darkness has made that person blind. [12] I write to you, dear children, because your sins are forgiven through Christ. [13] I write to you, fathers, because you know the One who existed from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have defeated the Evil One. [14] I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know the One who existed from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you are strong; the teaching of God lives in you, and you have defeated the Evil One. [15] Do not love the world or the things in the world. If you love the world, the love of the Father is not in you. [16] These are the ways of the world: wanting to please our sinful selves, wanting the sinful things we see, and being too proud of what we have. None of these come from the Father, but all of them come from the world. [17] The world and everything that people want in it are passing away, but the person who does what God wants lives forever. https://bible.com/bible/105/1jn.2.7-17.NCV

1 John 2:1-6 NCV [1] My dear children, I write this letter to you so you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have a helper in the presence of the Father—Jesus Christ, the One who does what is right. [2] He died in our place to take away our sins, and not only our sins but the sins of all people. [3] We can be sure that we know God if we obey his commands. [4] Anyone who says, “I know God,” but does not obey God’s commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. [5] But if someone obeys God’s teaching, then in that person God’s love has truly reached its goal. This is how we can be sure we are living in God: [6] Whoever says that he lives in God must live as Jesus lived. https://bible.com/bible/105/1jn.2.1-6.NCV

1 John 1:1-10 NCV [1] We write you now about what has always existed, which we have heard, we have seen with our own eyes, we have looked at, and we have touched with our hands. We write to you about the Word that gives life. [2] He who gives life was shown to us. We saw him and can give proof about it. And now we announce to you that he has life that continues forever. He was with God the Father and was shown to us. [3] We announce to you what we have seen and heard, because we want you also to have fellowship with us. Our fellowship is with God the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. [4] We write this to you so we may be full of joy. [5] Here is the message we have heard from Christ and now announce to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. [6] So if we say we have fellowship with God, but we continue living in darkness, we are liars and do not follow the truth. [7] But if we live in the light, as God is in the light, we can share fellowship with each other. Then the blood of Jesus, God’s Son, cleanses us from every sin. [8] If we say we have no sin, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what is right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done. [10] If we say we have not sinned, we make God a liar, and we do not accept God’s teaching.

In the "Let's Pray" I emphasized the importance of prayer and prayer should look like, it's where we receive what God has given by proclaiming what He said. Brothers and sisters let's pray.

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. Ephesians 1:18 NLT
