Knowing God (2 of 10)
Series: Lessons from 1st John
Dr. Larry Osborne
1 John 2:3-11
If you want to know who really knows God, just ask these two simple but powerful questions.
THE PASSAGE:
1 John 2:3-11
TWO POWERFUL QUESTIONS:
1. The Obedience question: Am I obeying His commands?
1 John 2:3-6/ Titus 1:16/ Hebrews 10:26-27/ Ezekiel 18:24
- Those who know God obey even when it's inconvenient.
Proverbs 3:5-8 and 16:25/ Hebrews 11:6
- Those who know God obey even when it doesn't make sense.
Isaiah 55:8-9/ Hebrews 11:8-19 (Abraham)/ Romans 12:1-2
- Those who know God obey even when it brings temporary pain.
Hebrews 5:7-8/ Hebrews 11:24-27 (Moses)/ 2 Timothy 3:12
2. The Love question: Is there a brother I won't forgive?
1 John 2:9-11/ Luke 9:51-56 and Mark 3:17/ Matthew 18:21-35/ 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
- Those who know God trust Him to bring about justice.
Romans 12:17-21/ 2 Timothy 4:14-16
- Those who hold onto a grudge - just don't get it!
Colossians 3:13
They're blind to how much they've been forgiven.
They're blind to the high cost of bitterness.
They're blind to what God wants.
