Family Resemblance (12 of 14)
Series: 1 John

1 John 5:1-5
(This intro was shown with a slide presentation of dogs who resembled their owners)
In every family there are certain traits or characteristics that are passed down through the old genetic gene pool.
1. In NC when John Mark was just a little guy and starting to string sentences together we were riding into Raleigh one day to go eat and visit the hospitals (he and Kristal would often make those trips to town with me). His car seat was behind mine and he said, 'Mama, my got a big heat like daddy don't I.'

Here at the close of his letter John continues to challenge us look at our own lives and see if there is a family resemblance in our lives. Is there something that about us that says they belong to the family?
1 John 5.1-5 - 1Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory ...
