Title: The Proofs of the Child of God!
Author: Marvin Patterson
Text: 1 John 4:10-21
For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep or too much pressure from my job, but now I've found out the real reason that I am always tired. I'm overworked.
The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.
14,800,000 people work for State and City Governments. That leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Given that there are 1,211,998 people in prisons, that leaves just two people to do the work, you and me.
Introduction: The apostle John is continuing his theme here about how to know for sure that one has been saved! How to you know for sure? So many today question the reality of their salvation experience, and they need some assurance from the Scripture on how to know you are genuinely born again to the family of God!
John says the main way to know one has been saved is by the love they display for God and others around them. He will elaborate on this further in this passage! Another proof that one is truly saved is that they will confess Jesus Christ to the glory of God! And then one can know he or she is saved because they will have the witness of the Holy Sprit of God. Now we will look at the proofs of a Christian and see what John has to say!
Body:
1-The True Child of God will love others!
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Now Joh ...
