We are drawing to the close of this section of our studies, I will miss doing them as they are all that I have to look forward to each day. I especially enjoy my early morning times with my LORD and then rising to do these posts. One thing I noted is that we have not touched the word "salvation" and its meaning for us of the re-birthing that is afforded in redemption's operation. Both words have much the same meaning when looked at in a dictionary or Strong's word study breakdown. Point of fact I have heard many use them interchangeably over the years which has caused me many difficulties. Okay, lets get into our subject matter shall we?
1John 5:18-20, 21 "We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; But he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen." (KJV)
1John 5:18-20, 21 "We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols." (ESV)
1John 5:18-20, 21 "What was made absolutely [1]clear [in the incarnate Christ] is that whoever is begotten of GOD cannot be a [2]distorted image of GOD! Likeness begets likeness. Jesus did not come to reveal the "otherness" of GOD, but his likeness in human form. There is nothing wrong with humanity's design, neither with their salvation [G4982 sozo, means to be made whole, complete]! To [1]see one's true revealed and now redeemed genesis in GOD, is to treasure the person we really are by his divine engineering and to remain [4]unstained in your thoughts by [3]the "I am not-tree system." The [3]idea that I am not the expression of his image and likeness can no longer [4]attach itself to my thoughts, neither do I allow it to ignite its destructive cycle of self-righteousness or depression on me! The system of this world is based on a mentality of separation, which is marked by [3]hardships annoyances and labors! It becomes an all consuming and most exhausting lifestyle of having to prove oneself in every relationship and a futile striving for recognition; With its inevitable results of disappointments, condemnations, rejections and pretenses. ( John begins the 3 sentences in verse 18, 19 and 20 with the verb [1] oidamen, which is a Perfect Active tense of [1, G1492] eido, to see, to observe, to pay attention to, to perceive, to know as an eye-witness [this relates back to our word salvation, sozo meaning healed restored to health as in re-birthing wherein our perception is restored to that of Genesis 2]. The Perfect Indicative Active tense denotes an action which is perfected or completed in the past, but the effects of which are regarded as continuing into the present. A distorted image is what the word [2, G264 from G1 (as a negative particle) and the base of G3313] hamartia suggests; is from (G1) ha, negative and (G3313) meros, portion or form; thus to be without form. The word, [3, G4190] poneros, is often translated wicked one or evil one, refers to the tree of knowledge of good and evil [poneros, Hebrew H7451 from H7489 râ‛a‛, to distort, afflict, cause harm] which is the fruit of a lost fellowship, identity, value and innocence. Through hardships, labors and announces humanity has strived for generations in vain, to redeem themselves from their own judgment and their illusions of separation. This concludes in a judgment based on performance. Which is the opposite to an opinion of approval based on value! The word, [4, G680 reflexive of G681] haptomai, means to fasten itself to, or to cling to something; is from (G681) hapto, to kindle a fire; to ignite.
If there is indeed nothing wrong with humanity's design or redemption, there can only be one problem, we are thinking wrong! Look at Isaiah 55:8-9, "Your thoughts are not my thoughts, therefore your ways are not my ways!" also at Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope." Isaiah 55:9-10, "Just like the rain and the snow bridges the distance between heaven and earth and cancels the drought, so shall my word be, it shall cancel distance and drought and saturate the earth (flesh); every nook and cranny of human life shall be filled in the Incarnation! The word became flesh and indwells us! In the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, GOD has brought final closure to the rule of life lost in the "I am not Tree-system." The idea of GOD'S absence as well as every definition of distance and separation were cancelled. Jesus is GOD'S mind made up about you-manity! He is not more Emmanuel to the Jew than what he is to the Gentile world. Look at John 1:14, Suddenly the invisible eternal Word takes on visible form-the Incarnation on display in human life as in a mirror! In him, and now confirmed in us! The most accurate tangible display of GOD'S eternal thought finds expression in human life! The Word became a human being; we are his address; he resides in us! He captivates our gaze! The glory we see there is not a religious replica; he is the authentic begotten Son. The glory (that we lost through Adam) returned in fullness! Only grace can communicate truth in such complete context!) We know that we have our origin in GOD; yet the whole world [1]lies trapped in the blindfold-mode of a lost identity; intoxicated by the ponderous system of a futile mentality of hardships, labors and annoyances! (The word, [1, G2749] keimai, means to lie prostrate, outstretched; buried.) This is what has become distinctly clear to us: the [1]coming of the Son of GOD is GOD'S mission accomplished! he is the incarnate Christ. The moment all of Scripture pointed to has arrived! The Son is [1]present! In him GOD has given us the greatest gift, [2]a mind whereby we may know who is true! Humanity is fully included and located in him, in his Son Jesus Christ; this means that whatever Jesus is as Son, we are! This is the true GOD; this is the life of the ages! (The word, [1, G2240] heko, means to have come, to have arrived, to be present. John uses the word, [2, G1271 from G1223 and G3563 nous, intellect, with the base of G1097 ginōskō, to know ] diaoian, deep thought; with (G1223) dia, to know together with; an entwining of thought; the mind of Christ.
Jesus said, you will know the truth as it is unveiled in me, and that will set you free!
The culmination of the gospel according to John is summed up in these verses: John 14:20, "In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me and I am in you!" Also 1John 2:7-8, "what is true of him, is equally true of us." 1John 4:17, "As he is, so are we in this world! Our lives are mirrored in him." as well as here in 1John 5:20)
This defeats every image of our imagination that could possibly complete with the authentic likeness of our design! Darling children, distance yourselves from every substitute image, which is what idolatry is all about! (The word eidolon, is often translated idol, refers to image or likeness.
In Isaiah 40:18-21 we find: "To whom then will you liken GOD, or what likeness compares with him? The idol? a workman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts for it silever chains. He who is impoverished chooses for an offering wood that will not rot; he seeks out a skilful craftsman to set up an image that will not move. Have you not known? have you not heard? has it not told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundation of the earth? Remember your beginning! You are GOD'S idea - the Engineer of the Universe imagined you!" Genesis 1:26-27; Colossians 1:15, 2:9-10.
In Acts 17:28-31, "For 'In him we live and move and have our being;' As even some of your poets have said. "For we are indeed his offspring." Being then GOD'S offspring, we ought not to think that the Deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, a representation by the art and imagination of human origin. The times of ignorance GOD overlooked, but now he compels all of humanity everywhere to awaken to their redeemed identity and innocence!
Idolatry is a projection of an image of one's own making. Idolatry is the crux of religion-it is expensive business since your idol is like a slot machine at the casino! It remains hungry and it is wired to bite and bankrupt you!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
This for now closes our studies, that is until the LORD gives me a new assignment. May He continue to richly bless you and yours in his wisdom and knowledge of him.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 5:13, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John now endorses the name above all names as the true Son of GOD and certifies that to know him is to know the life of the ages, eternal life. Now there is a word used here that many may not understand, as it has a broad use word and it is "know," in our case to know the Lord Jesus Christ, is likened to know your wife and for a woman is it to know her husband. In others words to really know; In scripture, to have sexual commerce with, or maybe more correctly put to have and posses an inner knowing him. Not an "of" him, or simple in him, but a real inner knowing, as in being one. Now before I get to it there is a verse in this chapter that for thousands upon another thousand years has caused much argument among Bible scholars and theologians, it is verse 16 and for that reason I am omitting it from my study text. For it seems to have been inserted by a zealous translator, as its language and use indicate. It has no bases and the only possibility of reference is back to Numbers 18:22 in the Septuagant where have, "And henceforth the people of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin and die." Henceforth the distinction between sins unto death and sins not unto death became common in Rabbinical writings. It might by noted that this type of doctrine is what gave rise to the heresy of indulgences and people getting baptized on behalf of the dead!
1John 5:13-17 "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; That ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death." (KJV)
1John 5:13-17 "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death." (ESV)
1John 5:13-17 "My intention in this writing is to endorse our belief in the name of the Son of GOD; [you are and stand thoroughly convinced that the name Jesus means that he is indeed the Savior of the world.] To know this is to know the life of the ages! Thus we engage in an [1]unreserved conversation, [2]face to face with the Father; We know that it is his delight to be our audience in whatever we may ask him. (The word [1, G3954 from G3956 and a derivative of G4483 ] parresia, is from (G3956) para, a preposition indicating close proximity, and (G4483) rheo, to pour forth; to flow freely, suggesting unreservedness in speech; Bold utterances. The preposition [2, G4314 ] pros means towards, face to face, here translated as, in. It is not a question of whether we are asking anything according to his will or not; But rather a statement that it is his will to hear us in whatever we may ask of him! And to do so as being Jesus doing the request of asking, not as religionists would have us say, "in Jesus name." ) And convinced of his delight with us within this place of intimate conversation, it becomes clear that our every request is held in the same echo-we already have what we've asked for! [1]Disharmony in relationship is [2]unlike the true rhythm of our being. The deception of a distorted image will [3]not face death again! ( The word unrighteousness, [1, G93 from G94] adikia, is from (G1) a, negative or without form and (G1349) dikia, indicating two parties finding likeness in each other; thus a relationship in conflict. The root of sin is to believe a lie about ones self. The word sin, is the word [1, G266 from G264 from G1 and G3313] hamartia, and it is from (G1) ha, negative or without from and (G3313) meros, portion or form, thus to be without our allotted portion or without form, pointing to a distorted disorientation, distorted, bankrupt in identity; the word meros, is the stem of morphe, used in 2Corinthians 3:18 the word (G3339 is from G3326 and G3445) metamorphe, with form, which is the opposite of hamartia - without form. Sin is to live out of context with our original blueprint of our design; To behave out of tune with GOD'S original harmony. Look at Deuteronomy 32:18, "You have forgotten the Rock that begot you and have gotten out of step with GOD who danced with you!" The Hebrew [H2342], khul or kheel , means to dance. The root of sin is to believe a lie about yourself. Sin is not unto death or, sin will not [3] face [pros] death- this is the whole point of the gospel! Jesus as Savior of the world; The Lamb of GOD took away forever the sins of the entire world; He died humanity's judgment death. Look at Hebrews 9:27-28, The same goes for everyone: a person dies only once, and then faces judgment! Christ dies once and faced that judgment for the entire human race! His second appearance has nothing to do with sin, but to reveal salvation for all to fully embrace him. Look at 2Corinthians 2:15, We are a sweet savor of Christ unto GOD evidenced in everyone we meet. The fragrance of Christ is recognized in all unto salvation. The same gospel that announced the fragrant victory of Christ declares the order of death; The defeat of destruction in everyone! [This parade of victory (Matthew 27:51-54; Isaiah 26:19 (Galatians 2:20), Hosea 6:2-3, 13:14, Daniel 9:24, 12:2; John 5:25-29, 1Corinthians 15:51, Colossians 1:27, 2:11-14, 1Thessalonians 5:10) Is a public announcement of the defeat of the religious systems and structure at work in the world based on delay and future practise, with the works of the Law of self indulgences. Just like it is in any public game where the victory celebration of the winning team is an embarrassment for the losing team. The death of evil is announced in resurrection life! The word, apollumi, is derived from apo, away from, and ollumi, to destroy, to ruin.] The message we communicate is a fragrance with an immediate association; To darkness, it is the smell of doom [the death of death]; To life it is the familiar fragrance of life itself. We are not competing with those who have added their price tag to the gospel. Our conversation has its source in Christ; We communicate from the transformation and transparent of innocence of a face to face encounter with GOD. [The Law of personal performance or kapeleuo, meaning retail; Which is a gospel with a price tag.] Revelation 20:15 also notes on lake of fire and the second death.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now once again we have covered allot of ground and I hope that it did not choke anyone in what it revealed. May the LORD increase our ability to acquire more of him.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 5:5 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are looking into our victory over the worlds religious system as a pseudo-system that speaks of delay and future events only and knows not the GOD of our origin. Nor the secret of the cross and all that happened there at that time in human history. This proved by the events that took place forty days later, in accord to biblical Jewish prophetic prophecy as a future event of promise.
1John 5:5-12 "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." (KJV)
1John 5:5-12 "Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." (ESV)
1John 5:5-12"This is the ultimate victory: the certainty that the human Jesus is the divine Son of GOD; (and the resurrected ascended through the door of eternity now open: that he is indeed the incarnate Christ-and the central theme of both the Word that was before time was as well as the key to understanding all of Scripture. He is the Savior of the world. Look at Luke 24:27 and John 1:1-3, 5:39-40, and Revelation 3:8) This is he who was to come; he arrived in our flesh via his mother's womb - [1]by water and blood - Jesus Christ. And in his ministry as the Christ, he was not only borne witness to by John the Baptist [2]in the prophetic baptism of water, but he went all the way into his baptism of death, [2]in his shed blood, where he died humanity's death. and it is the Spirit that bears witness according to her own being, which is truth! (Note the change of the preposition [1, G1223] διά by, used in the sense of accompaniment, also of instrumentality, i.e., by, through, by means of, for [2, G1722] ἐν in, clearly pointing to his baptism in water and then in his shed blood! No wonder John writes, "He was not only revealed in water; But also in blood!" If humanity's eternal life salvation could be secured only in the incarnation of the Christ and his 3 years of ministry, then his death and resurrection would be irrelevant.
Look at John's reference to Jesus' moment of realizing that the hour has come for the son of man to be glorified in the single grain of wheat, falling into the ground, not to abide alone, but to bear much fruit, in John 12:24. Then he says, in John 12:27, "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' No, for this purpose I have come to this hour!'"
Also John 1:32-34, And John the Baptist bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him; But he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of GOD." ) There are three witnesses, the Spirit and the water and the blood; And these three [1]agree as one! (καί [1]εἰσί τρεῖς, τρία μαρτυρέω ἐν; the word, [1, G1526] eis, translated into, indicates the point reached; the one does not distract from the other.
The only Greek manuscripts in any form which support the word, "in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one; and there are three that bear witness in earth," are the Montfortianus of Dublin, copied evidently from the modern Latin Vulgate; the Ravianus, copied from the Complutensian Polyglot; A manuscript at Naples, with the words added in the Margin by a recent hand; Ottobonianus, 298, of the fifteenth century, the Greek of which is a mere translation of the accompanying Latin. All the old versions omit the words.) Now if it is reasonable for us to be readily persuaded by the evidence that people may lay out before us, how much more certainty is there in the evidence that GOD has so compellingly borne witness to concerning his Son! (To go back to the very beginning is to find the Word already present there; Face to face with GOD; This Word, and Holy Spirit, and these three are One (Eloyim or Elohim, being plural in makeup); This Word, translated into the prophetic promise in Scripture and pointing to the messiah Redeemer for centuries, the Logos, finally became our flesh and forever divided human history into a BC and AD. The heavens declare his glory, night to night exhibits the giant solar testimony that is mathematically precise, revealing that GOD knew before time was the exact moment he would enter our history as a man, and the exact moment the Jewish Messiah would expire on the cross and be raised again from the dead! No one has ever known GOD as Father; Jesus, the humble brother of the human race, he has revealed him in the most articulate language as our Father. "'If you have seen me, you have seen Father!'" John 14:9. "'In that day, you will know that as I am in my Father, so you are in me, and I am in you!'" John 14:20. The Holy Spirit now endorses in us what happened to us when Jesus died and was raised, and now echoes from within our spirit, "Abba Father!") Whoever shares in the same persuasion concerning the Son of GOD, has GOD'S testimony confirmed within themselves; He who rejects what GOD believes concerning Jesus sets himself up against this testimony of GOD and makes GOD out to be a liar. The evidence is clear, GOD has [1]given us back the eternal life that we had lost, the life of the ages, which is the life of our design; This is the same life on exhibit and mirrored in his Son. (The word, [1, G1325] didomi can also mean to return something that already belongs to the person.) To [1]mirror-echo the Son is to mirror-echo life; Those who ignore this [1]inner resonance concerning the Son, miss out on the very life of their design! (The word, [1, G2192, here translated hath or has] echo, means to hold, like sound is held in an echo; To resonate.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may our LORD GOD increase our understanding of His presence within US all.
1John 5:5-12 "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." (KJV)
1John 5:5-12 "Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." (ESV)
1John 5:5-12"This is the ultimate victory: the certainty that the human Jesus is the divine Son of GOD; (and the resurrected ascended through the door of eternity now open: that he is indeed the incarnate Christ-and the central theme of both the Word that was before time was as well as the key to understanding all of Scripture. He is the Savior of the world. Look at Luke 24:27 and John 1:1-3, 5:39-40, and Revelation 3:8) This is he who was to come; he arrived in our flesh via his mother's womb - [1]by water and blood - Jesus Christ. And in his ministry as the Christ, he was not only borne witness to by John the Baptist [2]in the prophetic baptism of water, but he went all the way into his baptism of death, [2]in his shed blood, where he died humanity's death. and it is the Spirit that bears witness according to her own being, which is truth! (Note the change of the preposition [1, G1223] διά by, used in the sense of accompaniment, also of instrumentality, i.e., by, through, by means of, for [2, G1722] ἐν in, clearly pointing to his baptism in water and then in his shed blood! No wonder John writes, "He was not only revealed in water; But also in blood!" If humanity's eternal life salvation could be secured only in the incarnation of the Christ and his 3 years of ministry, then his death and resurrection would be irrelevant.
Look at John's reference to Jesus' moment of realizing that the hour has come for the son of man to be glorified in the single grain of wheat, falling into the ground, not to abide alone, but to bear much fruit, in John 12:24. Then he says, in John 12:27, "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' No, for this purpose I have come to this hour!'"
Also John 1:32-34, And John the Baptist bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him; But he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of GOD." ) There are three witnesses, the Spirit and the water and the blood; And these three [1]agree as one! (καί [1]εἰσί τρεῖς, τρία μαρτυρέω ἐν; the word, [1, G1526] eis, translated into, indicates the point reached; the one does not distract from the other.
The only Greek manuscripts in any form which support the word, "in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one; and there are three that bear witness in earth," are the Montfortianus of Dublin, copied evidently from the modern Latin Vulgate; the Ravianus, copied from the Complutensian Polyglot; A manuscript at Naples, with the words added in the Margin by a recent hand; Ottobonianus, 298, of the fifteenth century, the Greek of which is a mere translation of the accompanying Latin. All the old versions omit the words.) Now if it is reasonable for us to be readily persuaded by the evidence that people may lay out before us, how much more certainty is there in the evidence that GOD has so compellingly borne witness to concerning his Son! (To go back to the very beginning is to find the Word already present there; Face to face with GOD; This Word, and Holy Spirit, and these three are One (Eloyim or Elohim, being plural in makeup); This Word, translated into the prophetic promise in Scripture and pointing to the messiah Redeemer for centuries, the Logos, finally became our flesh and forever divided human history into a BC and AD. The heavens declare his glory, night to night exhibits the giant solar testimony that is mathematically precise, revealing that GOD knew before time was the exact moment he would enter our history as a man, and the exact moment the Jewish Messiah would expire on the cross and be raised again from the dead! No one has ever known GOD as Father; Jesus, the humble brother of the human race, he has revealed him in the most articulate language as our Father. "'If you have seen me, you have seen Father!'" John 14:9. "'In that day, you will know that as I am in my Father, so you are in me, and I am in you!'" John 14:20. The Holy Spirit now endorses in us what happened to us when Jesus died and was raised, and now echoes from within our spirit, "Abba Father!") Whoever shares in the same persuasion concerning the Son of GOD, has GOD'S testimony confirmed within themselves; He who rejects what GOD believes concerning Jesus sets himself up against this testimony of GOD and makes GOD out to be a liar. The evidence is clear, GOD has [1]given us back the eternal life that we had lost, the life of the ages, which is the life of our design; This is the same life on exhibit and mirrored in his Son. (The word, [1, G1325] didomi can also mean to return something that already belongs to the person.) To [1]mirror-echo the Son is to mirror-echo life; Those who ignore this [1]inner resonance concerning the Son, miss out on the very life of their design! (The word, [1, G2192, here translated hath or has] echo, means to hold, like sound is held in an echo; To resonate.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may our LORD GOD increase our understanding of His presence within US all.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 4:15 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John just on loaded the mystery of Agape and GOD being the essence of Himself now dwelling within our humanity of his union of seamlessness. Now he moves us to Christ Jesus as our example of what we should be like, while we remain bond to the earth. Have you noticed that john has not quoted anything from the OT lately? Could this be because all things are now prevalent and current?
1John 4:15-5:4 "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; And he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; But perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." (KJV)
1John 4:15-5:4 "Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith." (ESV)
1John 4:15-5:4 "For anyone [1]to see and to say that Jesus is the Son of GOD is to awaken to the awareness that we are [2]continuously, seamlessly joined in holy oneness. (The word, [1, G3670 from a compound of the base of G3674 and G3056 ] homologeo, is from (G3674) homo, the same and (G3056) lego, to speak; Thus to say the same. The word, [2, G3306] meno is a verb which means to continue to be present, to stay. Young's Literal Translation reads: GOD in him doth remain, and he in GOD. [Now GOD cannot remain somewhere if he never was there to begin with, neither can we!] Look at John 14:20.) And thus we have come to know and believe the agape of GOD has unveiled within us, again. GOD is agape. Agape is who GOD is; To live in this place of conscious, constant agape, is to live immersed in GOD and to sense perfect at home in his indwelling. ("You're not alone and adrift in the universe; You are at home in Father's good pleasure." - Godfrey Birtill - The Wine is Alive!) So now, with us awakened to [1]our full inclusion in this Agape union, everything is perfected! Its completeness is not compromised in contradiction. Our [2]confident conversation [3]echos this fellowship even in the face of [4]crisis; Because, as he is, so are we in this world - our lives are mirrored in him. We are as blameless in this life as Jesus! This perfect agape union is the source of our confidence whenever we [5]face the scrutiny of contradiction. (This place of seamless union is the perfection of Agape - en toutoo teteleotai he agape meth 'hemoon; (this is how it appears in the KJV+ (G1722 G5129 (G3326) G2257 G26 G5048 G2443, G2192 G3954 G1722 G3588 G2250) Notice, the word [1, G2443 translated in English, that] meth'hemoon, together with us; is from meta, together with, and hemoon, us; To be included in the same togetherness. The word, [2, G3954 from G3956 and a derivative of G4483] parresia, is from (G3956) para, a preposition indicating close proximity, and (G4483) rheo, to pour forth; To flow, suggesting unreservedness in speech; Bold utterance, confidence. The word, [3, G2192] echo, to hold, like sound is held in an echo; To resonate. The word, [4, G2920] krisis is often translated, judgment. So, the [5]day of judgment, "in the face of crisis," can be translated, "facing the scrutiny of contradiction in our daily lives." ) Fear cannot co-exist in the Agape realm. The perfect agape union that we are talking about expels (darkness's, unbelief's) fear. Fear holds on to an expectation of crisis and judgment [which brings separation] and interprets it as due punishment [a form of karma!]. It echos torment and only registers in someone who does not yet realize their completeness of agape union. [With Father, Son and Spirit and with one another.] (Look at Hebrews 2:15) We agape because he agaped (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:6-7, 18, 21-25) us first! (We did not invent this fellowship; we are invited into the fellowship lost (in Genesis 3), now restored (Genesis 3:15, 12:3) to Father and Son! ) If anyone claims to agape GOD but he cannot stand a fellow human, his love for GOD is fake; How is it possible to not agape someone you can see with your eyes yet claim to agape an invisible GOD? (Love is not defined by our ability to like or dislike someone; Love is a "GOD-thing" from the start to its finish. GOD cannot make his agape humanity more tangibly certain than he did in his Son, Jesus Christ.) GOD'S [1]conclusion on this is clear, loving him includes agaping our fellow human - there is no distinction. (Conclusion, (G1785 from G1781 entellomai, enjoin, to be one) entole. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ (Emmanuel, Messiah), the incarnate begotten Son of GOD, agape Father and Father esteems the Son with equal affection. In this knowing [of humanity's co-genesis revealed in the Christ-incarnation,] we agape the children of GOD with the same agape that we discovered in GOD; We [1]treasure the [2]conclusion of his prophetic purpose with affection. (The word, [1, G5083 ] tereo, means to hold-fast, to attend to carefully; to take care of; to guard; to treasure something with great affection. Westcott and Hort use the word poiema instead of tereo. The word, [2, G1785 from G1781 entellomai, enjoin, from G1722 and the base of G5056 ] entole is often translated commandment or precept; This word has two components: (G1722) en, in and (G5056 from a primary word τέλλω tellō) telos, from tello, to set out for a definite point or goal; Properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, by implication, the conclusion of an act or state, the result; The ultimate or prophetic purpose. Strong's G5056.) For the agape of GOD is realized in the way we evaluate his [1]precepts; If agape's triumph is [1]the conclusion of every prophetic pointers, how can this be interpreted as an unbearable burden? (Again the word, [1]entole is used.) Whatever is born of GOD is destined to triumph over this world systems. Our faith is such as it celebrates our victory: the certainty that humanity in Jesus is the divine Son, GOD. (this indeed the incarnated Christ - and the central theme of both the Word that was before time as well as the key to understanding all of Scripture. He is the Savior of the world. Look at Luke 24:27 and John 1:1-3. also 5:39-40.) (The Mirror, with editing)
We just added another layer to our enlightenment of understanding to the question of Matthew 11:29's passage as a question, with its a coming verses of 28-30.
Now may the LORD reveal within both you and yours the understanding.
1John 4:15-5:4 "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 4:7, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We just saw that our origin began in GOD and that it will also end in GOD! John now reveals the mystery of Agape, which mans fake facade of religion delays or speaks of as a future existence that never happens. Lets jump right into what John now reveals and that which Paul spoke of in spiritual language meant for the adult among the children of GOD, for he referred to it as meat. Lets see how many can catch what John is saying while reading the good old boy KJV, the every reason that I show the word study method used in the Mirror Study Bible, as our aid and our help.
1John 4:7-14 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." (KJV)
1John 4:7-14 "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world." (ESV)
1John 4:7-14 "Beloved, [1]loce always includes others, since love springs from GOD; its source is found in the fellowship of Father, Spirit and Son (Hebrew, Eloyim or Elohim). Everyone who encounters love immediately knows that they too are born of the same source! It is not possible to fully participate in love without discovering GOD. To love is to know GOD; to know GOD is to love. ([1, G25 agapaō compare H5689, from G26 ] Agape, is from (G71 see also G1877) agoo, it means to lead, and (G373 from G3973 pauō ) pao, means (Genesis 2:1-3) rest - love is where the Sabbath of GOD is perfected and celebrated.) Not to love, is not to know GOD.There is nothing in love that distracts from who GOD is. Love is who GOD is - they are inseparable. The Agape of GOD is unveiled [1]within us in the Son (housed in humanity's flesh); he was [2]begotten of Father in our flesh and sent into the world that we might live because of him. Our lives are mirrored and definded in him. Both his birth in our flesh as well as his commission into the world were [3]entirely GOD'S doing. (Unfortunately most English translations read, "The love of GOD was manifested towards us, or amongst us, rather than in us! The Greek word is clear, (it is composed of G1722 and G2254 ἐν ἡμῖν, or en hēmin ) this means, in us, of John 17:21.
The incarnation is not the origin of Jesus. The word, [2, G3439] monogenes, means born only of GOD, or entirely begotten of GOD, refers to the physical birth of Jesus, which was the incarnation of the Word (of promise). Look at John 1:1, "To go back to the very beginning is to find the Word already present there; face to face with GOD, in GOD, is very GOD. The Word is I am; GOD'S eternal eloquence echos and conclusion in him. The Word, logos , was "with" GOD; here John uses the Greek preposition pros, towards; face-to-face. Three times in this sentence John uses the active imperfect form of the verb [3, G1510] eimi, namely (G2258) aen [ἦν] to be, [in the beginning 'was' the Word etc.....] which conveys no idea of origin for GOD or for the Logos, but simply continuous existence, "I am." Quite a different verb egeneto, "became," appears in John 1:14, "was made(G1096) to be flesh," for the beginning of the Incarnation of the Logos. The Word 'became' flesh. The incarnation is not the origin of Jesus. Look at the distinction sharply drawn in John 8:58, "before Abraham was [born, genesthai from ginomai] I am." The word, eimi, I am; the essence of being, suggests timeless existence. Look also at the note on 1Peter 1:16.) Love is not defined by our love for GOD, but by his Agape for us! it is noy our responce to GOD that attracts his attention; we have always had his undivided affection as declared in the prophetic promise and finally demonstrated in his Son's commission and work of atonement (redemption) for our sin nature. (Look at 1John 2:2, Jesus is our at-one-ment, he has cancelled, exonerated us to himself and has taken our sins and distortions out of the equation. What he has accomplished is not to be seen as something that belongs to us exclusively; the same at-one-ment includes the entire cosmos of humanity's make up! [The word hilasmos, means to conciliate, to bring about atonement, from hileos, gracious, merciful. Also reminds of the word hilaros, cheerful, joyous, hilarious!]) Loved Ones! If this is true about GOD'S love for us, it is equally true of his love in us for others! GOD was never more visible to anyone until Jesus brought him into full view in himself and in us; now our love does the same! Our agape for one another is evidence of GOD'S seamless union with humanity as witnessed in his agape perfected within us! (Look at John 1:18, Until this moment GOD remains invisible to everyone; now the authentic begotten Son, [monogenes, begotten only of GOD] the blueprint of our design, who represents the innermost being of GOD, [the Son who is in the bosom of Father], brings him into full view! he is the official authority qualified to announce GOD! He is our guide who accurately declares and interprets the otherwise invisible GOD within us.) His own Spirit is the [1]source of this gift, of knowing that we are [2]continuously, seamlessly and very consciously present in him and he in us. (The preposition [1] ek, always denotes source or origin. The word [2] meno means to continue to be present.) We bear witness to this which has arrived and arrested our attention concerning Father's intent in commissioning his Son as Savior of the world! (John uses the word, [1, G2300, translated behold] theomai, to view attentively, to contemplate, to learn by looking. Realizing authentic, redeemed sonship is what rescues the world!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now what do we do?
For GOD holds us accountable to himself for all that we've learned of His Son as asked in Matthew 11:29 (KJV), are you ready to: "'Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.'"
This was asked of me August 14th of 2007 and it led to this blog now an international out reach by his doing as shown me, back in the spring of 1988.
Now may the LORD of lords show his great truth within us all.
1John 4:7-14 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." (KJV)
1John 4:7-14 "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world." (ESV)
1John 4:7-14 "Beloved, [1]loce always includes others, since love springs from GOD; its source is found in the fellowship of Father, Spirit and Son (Hebrew, Eloyim or Elohim). Everyone who encounters love immediately knows that they too are born of the same source! It is not possible to fully participate in love without discovering GOD. To love is to know GOD; to know GOD is to love. ([1, G25 agapaō compare H5689, from G26 ] Agape, is from (G71 see also G1877) agoo, it means to lead, and (G373 from G3973 pauō ) pao, means (Genesis 2:1-3) rest - love is where the Sabbath of GOD is perfected and celebrated.) Not to love, is not to know GOD.There is nothing in love that distracts from who GOD is. Love is who GOD is - they are inseparable. The Agape of GOD is unveiled [1]within us in the Son (housed in humanity's flesh); he was [2]begotten of Father in our flesh and sent into the world that we might live because of him. Our lives are mirrored and definded in him. Both his birth in our flesh as well as his commission into the world were [3]entirely GOD'S doing. (Unfortunately most English translations read, "The love of GOD was manifested towards us, or amongst us, rather than in us! The Greek word is clear, (it is composed of G1722 and G2254 ἐν ἡμῖν, or en hēmin ) this means, in us, of John 17:21.
The incarnation is not the origin of Jesus. The word, [2, G3439] monogenes, means born only of GOD, or entirely begotten of GOD, refers to the physical birth of Jesus, which was the incarnation of the Word (of promise). Look at John 1:1, "To go back to the very beginning is to find the Word already present there; face to face with GOD, in GOD, is very GOD. The Word is I am; GOD'S eternal eloquence echos and conclusion in him. The Word, logos , was "with" GOD; here John uses the Greek preposition pros, towards; face-to-face. Three times in this sentence John uses the active imperfect form of the verb [3, G1510] eimi, namely (G2258) aen [ἦν] to be, [in the beginning 'was' the Word etc.....] which conveys no idea of origin for GOD or for the Logos, but simply continuous existence, "I am." Quite a different verb egeneto, "became," appears in John 1:14, "was made(G1096) to be flesh," for the beginning of the Incarnation of the Logos. The Word 'became' flesh. The incarnation is not the origin of Jesus. Look at the distinction sharply drawn in John 8:58, "before Abraham was [born, genesthai from ginomai] I am." The word, eimi, I am; the essence of being, suggests timeless existence. Look also at the note on 1Peter 1:16.) Love is not defined by our love for GOD, but by his Agape for us! it is noy our responce to GOD that attracts his attention; we have always had his undivided affection as declared in the prophetic promise and finally demonstrated in his Son's commission and work of atonement (redemption) for our sin nature. (Look at 1John 2:2, Jesus is our at-one-ment, he has cancelled, exonerated us to himself and has taken our sins and distortions out of the equation. What he has accomplished is not to be seen as something that belongs to us exclusively; the same at-one-ment includes the entire cosmos of humanity's make up! [The word hilasmos, means to conciliate, to bring about atonement, from hileos, gracious, merciful. Also reminds of the word hilaros, cheerful, joyous, hilarious!]) Loved Ones! If this is true about GOD'S love for us, it is equally true of his love in us for others! GOD was never more visible to anyone until Jesus brought him into full view in himself and in us; now our love does the same! Our agape for one another is evidence of GOD'S seamless union with humanity as witnessed in his agape perfected within us! (Look at John 1:18, Until this moment GOD remains invisible to everyone; now the authentic begotten Son, [monogenes, begotten only of GOD] the blueprint of our design, who represents the innermost being of GOD, [the Son who is in the bosom of Father], brings him into full view! he is the official authority qualified to announce GOD! He is our guide who accurately declares and interprets the otherwise invisible GOD within us.) His own Spirit is the [1]source of this gift, of knowing that we are [2]continuously, seamlessly and very consciously present in him and he in us. (The preposition [1] ek, always denotes source or origin. The word [2] meno means to continue to be present.) We bear witness to this which has arrived and arrested our attention concerning Father's intent in commissioning his Son as Savior of the world! (John uses the word, [1, G2300, translated behold] theomai, to view attentively, to contemplate, to learn by looking. Realizing authentic, redeemed sonship is what rescues the world!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now what do we do?
For GOD holds us accountable to himself for all that we've learned of His Son as asked in Matthew 11:29 (KJV), are you ready to: "'Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.'"
This was asked of me August 14th of 2007 and it led to this blog now an international out reach by his doing as shown me, back in the spring of 1988.
Now may the LORD of lords show his great truth within us all.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 4:1 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John opens this chapter with a very timely and sound warning that has missed its in tented mark for centuries now. As the world systems of deception and disintegration have over taken the original church by religious systems of the grosses deception to where even today they can be seen in Americas political system as a graphic illustration of humanity's perversion and delusional mindset, become apparent to all. But then again John's little book of the Revelation of Christ's recovery actions shows this to take place, once our eye and understanding have been born from above, through our coming to grips with the cross' secret. With understanding the mystery of Agape, which lays just ahead. And keep this in the back of your mind there are two and only two systems at work in the lives of GOD'S creation of his humanity made flesh and blood. They are darkness in which evil dwells and Light in which Agape dwells. Now both systems require faith to properly exist.
1John 4:1-6 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; And even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; But he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error." (KJV)
1John 4:1-6 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error." (ESV)
1John 4:1-6 "Beloved do not be swayed by everything that seems spiritual or prophetic just like with costly metals, there is [1]a reliable test! There are many false prophets who come and go in the religious world-systems! They might even sound very inspirational and carry the name "Christian" as their label; This does not mean that GOD is their source of insight. (The word, [1, G1381 from G1384 from 1380 dokeō, to seem, appear, be of reputation. ] dokimatzo, refers to the testing of metals.) This is how you discern the Spirit of GOD: the incarnation is the central theme of the communication of the Spirit; The fact that Jesus Christ has come into our flesh is what gives legitimacy to every prophetic word. (Look at 1Pete 1:10-14.) No so-called "spiritual revelation" that fails to communicate the revelation of the incarnation of Jesus Christ, is of GOD. This is the anti-Christ spirit that you have heard of and even now witness in the world. Any idea that Jesus Christ is not the incarnate word of GOD, does not originate in GOD but is the typical pseudo mindset of the spirit of this fallen cosmic system. (The Latin rendering from the 2nd century reads, "No spirit that would separate the human Jesus from the divine Christ, is of GOD." GOD is Christ, plan and simply put, and Christ in the incarnate of GOD within those born from above. No longer seen as an image only but now made known.) My darling children, you have nothing to fear; Do not doubt for a moment the legitimacy of your sonship! You originated in GOD and have already conquered the worldly religious systems because of the unveiling of Christ in you! His living presence in you is far superior to the futile anti-Christ mindset present in the world! Their conversation mirrors their source and appeals to a common audience; The pseudo-claim of a pseudo-system has blindfolded multitudes to believe the lie about themselves. Our being-ness originates in GOD; Anyone who knows what GOD knows about humanity's authentic genesis, hears us; Those who do not see their origin in GOD are deaf to what we communicate. This is the difference between the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. (The essence of the incarnation is the revelation that Jesus Christ is the word made flesh; [John 1:1-18] he is the one who as the Son of GOD, mirrors and redeemed our image and likeness of GOD in his and our human form. He declared GOD as the only legitimate Father and architect, engineer of the human race.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now have we learned more of the secret of the Cross and Christ that was prophetically revealed within the context of scripture and revealed by Jesus, but little understood? Now may the LORD himself increase our receptivity of truth.
1John 4:1-6 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; And even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; But he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error." (KJV)
1John 4:1-6 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error." (ESV)

Now have we learned more of the secret of the Cross and Christ that was prophetically revealed within the context of scripture and revealed by Jesus, but little understood? Now may the LORD himself increase our receptivity of truth.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 3:23 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Now my question is are we ready, really ready, for what John reveals in the conclusion of this chapter are we? Who is it that dwells within us? For the narrow pathway was opened at the cross with humanity's death for the restoration of all things GOD once again as in our beginning. The hard part is that the broad way of humanity's corrupted existence is so enjoyed because of its ease way of life, which is no true life but rather a superficial life. Like the outer surface of a wood structure given an plastic or stone veneer to cover the wood from exposure from the weathering elements, and the decay and disintegration of materials that comes with them.
1John 3:23-24 "And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." (KJV)
1John 3:23-24 "And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us." (ESV)
1John 3:23-24 "This is the ultimate conclusion of his intention and desire [entole, commandment or oracle, precept] that we [1]would be fully persuaded concerning the name Jesus Christ who has successfully accomplished his mission as the Son of GOD (Hebrew El) to rescue humanity's authentic sonship! Our agape for one another completes his joy! (The word, [1, of G4100 pisteuō, have faith, from G4102 pistis, persuasion, from G3982 peithō, to be convinced by truth, yield to truth] pisteusomen is an Aorist Passive in the Subjunctive mode, expressing the hypothetical, expected result of the completed action; from pisteuo, to believe.) Everyone who treasures this final conclusion of GOD'S dream, abides unhindered in seamless oneness of his abiding within us! ( Look at John 14:20, In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you. Also at 1John 4:13, this being just ahead of us.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Do you believe, or just acknowledge something that seems to be over your head? To do so is to be in sin by its very definition. To walk in unbelief is to actually be a diffraction, meaning to deflect GOD'S radiation or light. Now may our LORD GOD of all reveal his great truth within us all as vessels and hosts of this light radiation.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 3:13, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John now moves us through why the world cannot seem to tolerate us as sons of GOD.
1John 3:13-22 "Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight." (KJV)
1John 3:13-22 "Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; And whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him." (ESV)
1John 3:13-22 "It is no wonder then, that the performance-based religious systems of this worlds darkness loathes us and detests us for what we stand for! A works-based society finds its leverage in both boasting and condemnation! ( Look at Romans 3:27) It is clear that we have relocated from a system of dead works into the dynamics of authentic life in the way we agape the family. Agape is life; not to Agape is pure death. To hate a brother, is to murder human life; the life of the ages does not echo any resonance in a murderer. It is only in the constant, seamless resonance of life that agape is realized. (Agape, is from ago, to lead, and pao, to rest.) Agape is known in its other-centeredness; just as Jesus laid down his life for us to free his Agape within us for others. The indwelling agape of GOD compels us to live sensitively aware of people around us, and not to exclude those in need. My darling children, lets not deceive ourselves by paying lip service to worldly love while we can truely live the dynamic of agape in our practical daily doings! In this we know that our beingness is sourced in that which is really true about us; our doing good is not phoney or make-belief; this is who we are in Christ, in GOD'S sight! So, even if our own hearts would [1]accuse us of not really being true to ourselves, GOD is greater than our heart and he has the full picture! His knowledge of us is not compromised. (The word, [1, G2607 from G2596 and G1097 ] kataginosko, to find fault, is only used three time in the NT, translated, to blame, or condemn. Is from (G2596) kata, meaning down, and opposition, and (G1097) ginosko, means to know; thus to know from below; from a fallen mindset perspective. Look also at Colossians 3:9) Beloved when we know what GOD knows to be true about us, then instead of condemning ourselves, our heart will endorse our innocence and his righteousness as being [1]free, our conversation before GOD. (The word, [1, G3954 parrhēsia, from G3956 from G3844 and G4483] para, is a preposition indicating close proximity, a oneness, and (G4483) rheo, to pour out; to flow freely, suggesting an unreservedness in speech; bold utterance.) Now, instead of begging GOD, we [1]speak with confidence liberty as sons. We also [2]treasure the [3]conclusion of his prophetic purpose [in redeeming our sonship] and [4]fully accommodate ourselves of his desires and pleasure! Knowing the warmth in his [5]eyes inspire poetic freedom in our every expression. (The word, 1, G154] aiteo, means to ask with great liberty and humble confidence; knowing both the desire as well as the ability of Father to grant us our request. The word, [2, G5083] tereo, means to attend to carefully; take care of; to guard; to treasure something with great affection; [3, G1785 from G1781 entellomai, to enjoin, from G1722 and the base of G5056 ] entole, is often translated commandment or precept; this word has two components: (G1722) en, in and (G5056) telos, from tello, to set out for a definite point or goal; properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, by implication, the conclusion of an act or state, the result; the ultimate prophetic purpose. Strong's G5056. The word, [4, G701 from G700] arestos, means to please; to accommodate one's self to the opinions desires and interests of others. The word, [5, G1799 G846] enopion aytou, means in his sight; as in face to face. The English word poetry derives from [6, G1799 from a compound of G1722 en, and a derivation of G3700 ] poiema, in the face of, to make or do.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now we all should know what it is to be face to face with Father, if not then shortly I wish it so, in the beloved LORD of ALL!
1John 3:13-22 "Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

1John 3:13-22 "Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

(The word, [1, G3954 parrhēsia, from G3956 from G3844 and G4483] para, is a preposition indicating close proximity, a oneness, and (G4483) rheo, to pour out; to flow freely, suggesting an unreservedness in speech; bold utterance.) Now, instead of begging GOD, we [1]speak with confidence liberty as sons. We also [2]treasure the [3]conclusion of his prophetic purpose [in redeeming our sonship] and [4]fully accommodate ourselves of his desires and pleasure! Knowing the warmth in his [5]eyes inspire poetic freedom in our every expression. (The word, 1, G154] aiteo, means to ask with great liberty and humble confidence; knowing both the desire as well as the ability of Father to grant us our request. The word, [2, G5083] tereo, means to attend to carefully; take care of; to guard; to treasure something with great affection; [3, G1785 from G1781 entellomai, to enjoin, from G1722 and the base of G5056 ] entole, is often translated commandment or precept; this word has two components: (G1722) en, in and (G5056) telos, from tello, to set out for a definite point or goal; properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, by implication, the conclusion of an act or state, the result; the ultimate prophetic purpose. Strong's G5056. The word, [4, G701 from G700] arestos, means to please; to accommodate one's self to the opinions desires and interests of others. The word, [5, G1799 G846] enopion aytou, means in his sight; as in face to face. The English word poetry derives from [6, G1799 from a compound of G1722 en, and a derivation of G3700 ] poiema, in the face of, to make or do.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now we all should know what it is to be face to face with Father, if not then shortly I wish it so, in the beloved LORD of ALL!

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 3:11 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John now moves us to the universal Agape that is GOD'S super glue holding all together as one family, one body and one faith as described by Paul in his Ephesians Epistle chapter 4. Soon enough John himself will pull back the cover of GOD'S hidden secret.
1John 3:11-12 "For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous." (KJV)
1John 3:11-12 "For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous." (ESV)
1John 3:11-12 "Our Agape for one another was the topic of conversation from the start GOD had nothing less in mind than a loving family! Cain's [1]killing of his brother Abel, is in such contrast to this! His motivation was clearly [2]sourced in the [3]poneros tree-system; his idea of Divine [4]favor was to count on his own works as being superior to his brother's faith righteousness. ( Immediately after the fall, Adam named the woman Eloyim (Elohim) gave him, Eve, [in Hebrew Chawah, and in Greek, Zoe, to live.] he thus co-echoes and reinforces the prophetic word that Eloyim (Elohim) gave him: Life in the face of death! "The seed of the woman, shall crush the deceiver's head!" [G2258 ēn, Imperfect of G1510 eimi, I am, from G1511 einai, to exist] The fallen mindset shall be destroyed! [G2258 ēn, imperfect of G1510 eimi, I am, G1498 eiēn, might be, G2071 esomai, will be again, G2070 esmen, we are, have our being, G2468 isthi, second person imperative present of G1510, means, be holly] So here, in their two sons, we have the first generation of fallen humanity confronted with their personal pursuit of a lost identity and a lost sense of value and grace. Caleb's motivation was clearly sourced [2, G1537 ek, out of, origin] in the [3, G1228 of verse 10] diabolos [cast down], which is so typical of the [3, G4190] poneros tree-system. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil [poneros] represents humanity's lost sense of identity and righteousness, where the global pursuit of humanity would now be our constant effort to achieve righteousness by way of religious means of our own works. This inevitably leads to gross disappointment where shame replaces innocence, and union and fellowship are lost. The word, poneros, suggests to be full of hardships, labors and annoyances. Genesis 3:19; "In the sweat of your face shall you eat your bread." The sacrifice of Cain is exactly that! It represents his trust in the fruit of his own toil to gain him a [4, G5484 G5101, means wherefore] favorable [charin] standing with GOD.
We have the prophetic picture of a scapegoat repeated here in Genesis 4. Not only in the sacrifice that Abel brought; but also in him being murdered by his brother! Just like we would one day murder our brother Jesus! In Genesis 3, Eloyim did not clothe Adam with the skin of an animal because of a divine need to be appeased, but because of their unconditional agape for Adam; they spoke the language of Adam's own judgment: Adam, not Eloyim look at Adam differently, but to make Adam feel better about himself! And ultimately it was to prepare Adam for the unveiling of the mystery of humanity's redemption in the incarnation. Here Deity would clothe themselves in human skin in a Son, and the Loin of Judah would become the Lamb of GOD in order to free our minds to re-discover his image and likeness in our skin! Revelation 5:5-6.
Only John uses the word [1, G4969] sphatzo, which speaks of a slaying. Four times in the book of Revelation he employs this word in the context of the slain Lamb of GOD.
Look also at Hebrews 11:4, "It was faith that made the difference between the sacrifice of Abel and Cain, and confirmed Abel's righteousness. GOD bore witness to righteousness as a gift rather than a reward! Even though he was murdered, his faith still has a voice today."
Philo a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher says, that in the dispute between Cain and Abel, Abel attributed all things to GOD, and Cain ascribed everything to himself; so that the controversy was about grace verses works. [Philo lived c. 25BCE - c. 50 CE]
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil represents a fallen identity; the thought that likeness with GOD could be earned through good intentions, rather than realizing the gift of life that already defines his image and likeness in us.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
The author of this study Bible has between verses 12 and 13 a few thoughts on why the other tree and why the temptation tree. he also covers allot of ground between John's record here and John's vision picture book of the Christ in the world record book of Revelation. For now I am jumping over these two thought areas. This to get others to acquire their own book.
Now may the LORD increase our understanding of Him.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 3:4 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John, now takes us forward into what many of us need to visualize on, our upward self-imaging at our Father's right-hand as Christ-ones. Our Bibles say that it is Christ Jesus who occupies that position but in reality in GOD'S mind it is us as Christ-ones. For Paul in his Ephesians Epistle chapter 4 declares the oneness we share in Christ Jesus' humanity, that ties us as one unite. It might be of use to remember the OT declaration that GOD'S people parish for a lack of vision, and vision means knowledge or understanding in Hosea 4:6.
1John 3:4-10 "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother." (KJV)
1John 3:4-10 "Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother." (ESV)
1John 3:4-10 "[1]Distorted behavior is the result of a warped self-image! A [2]lost sense of identity is the bases of all sin! (The word sin, is the word [1, G266 from G264 hamartanō, sin, from G1 (as a negative particle) and the base of G3313] hamartia, it is from (G1) a or ha, it is a negative or without and (G3313) meros, portion or form, thus to be without our allotted portion or without form, pointing to a disorientated, distorted, bankrupt identity (of mindset, or belief); the word meros, derives from morphe, as in 2Corinthians 3:18 the word metamorphe, (changed G3339) with form, which is the opposite of (G264) hamartia - without form. Sin is to live out of context with the original blueprint of one's design; to behave out of tune with GOD'S original harmony. It is to be out of step with our true sonship! Look at Deuteronomy 32:18. Sin is not something we do or don't do, it is missing out on our sonship. Hear the father pleading with the other "lost" brother in Luke 15, "My son, you've always been with me and all that I have is yours!" Now look at 1John 3:9. The root of sin is to believe a lie (falsehood) about ourselves, which is the fruit of the "I am-not Tree." (Genesis 3) This was also the essence of Israel's unbelief that kept them trapped in a grasshopper-mindset for 40 years. The word often translated, lawlessness, [2, G458 from G459 anomos, lawless, from G1 (as a negative particle) and G3551] anomia, is from (G1) a, meaning without and (G3551) onoma, name - thus without a name, anonymous. In my opinion there exists an etymological link between the words onoma and anonmos.) We have witnessed with our own eyes how, in the unveiling of the prophetic word, when he was lifted up upon the cross as the Lamb of GOD (scapegoat), he [1]lifted up our sins and disengaged its dominion and rule over us! (John 1:29, "Behold, the Lamb of GOD, who [1]takes away [airo] the sin of the world! The word, [1, G142, OT H5375] airo, means to lift up, to take away.) To [1]abide in him in uninterrupted seamless oneness, is to live free from sin. Whoever continues in sin has obviously not perceived how free they are in him; they clearly do not really know him (Matthew 11:29's understanding). (The word, [1, G3306] meno, to stay, suggests an uninterrupted abiding; a seamless oneness.) Little children, do not be led astray by any other opinion; his righteousness is the source of our righteousness. Sin's source is a [1]fallen mindset, from the beginning! For this purpose the Son of GOD was revealed! His mission was to undo the works of the Devil (religion)! (The word, [1, G1228 from G1225 diaballō, from G1223 and G906 ] diabolos, is from (G1223) dia, because of and (G906) ballo, means to cast down. Meaning to acquire an abandoned mindset of ones true origin.) To discover one's authentic sonship in GOD, is to discover true freedom (the kingdom of heaven) from sin. We are born of him and his seed remains in us; this is the only possible reference to sober up the mind from the intoxicating of influence of deception. (The incorruptible seed (word of promise) of our Father carries the exact pattern of the of our authentic life of our original design! Jesus calls the Devil, the father of lies.
John 8:31-32, 36, 44, "Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and this truth will make you free....So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed....You are of your father the Devil, and your will is to do your father's will. He was a murder from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him (I am not part of him, he does not have my seed within him). when he lies, he speaks from his own distorted opinion; for he is a liar and the father of lies."
His intention is to kill humanity's awareness of their god-identity.
John 8:56-58, 10:30-36, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad. The Jews then said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.' Two chapters later Jesus addresses the same audience again:... 'I and Father are one.' The Jews took up stones against him. Jesus answered them, 'I have shown you many good works from Father; for which of these do you now stone me?' The Jews answered him, "It is not for good works that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man (human), make yourself GOD." Jesus answered them, 'Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?' If he called them gods to whom the word of GOD came [and Scripture cannot be broken], do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, "You are blaspheming." because I said, 'I am the Son of GOD?'" here Jesus quoted Psalm 82:6, "I say, 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you!' What does it mean to build your house upon the rock? "Son of man, I say you are Rock; you're a chip of this Rock - son of man, is the son of GOD!'" Dig deep=Gaze deeply, intently into the mirror of likeness to see face to face your birth! Luke 6:48; James 1:18, 23-25; Isaiah 51:1; Deuteronomy 32:18, Living your life from who you are in Christ [Grace] beats living your life from who you are in Adam [Law of works] by far! Plus it is storm-proof!) There is a very visible and vast difference between living one's life from our GOD identity, to that from a fallen mindset; the [1]diabolos-fruit has nothing in common with [2]righteousness; neither does it know anything about brotherly love. (The children of the Devil; here translated [1, G1225] diabolos-fruit; the typical fruit that the fallen mindset bears. Righteousness, [2, G1343 from G1342 dikaios, means innocence, from G1349 ] diakaiosune, is from (G1349) dike, means, justice, right is self evident, two parties finding likeness in each other.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Again I say WOW! The LORD has revealed to us who his is and who we are as the Now people of promise.
1John 3:4-10 "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 2:28 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John, now moves us back to our infancy to open up our innocence of re-birth that takes place at our co-resurrection in the beloved Christ, as new creatures in our original design as Christ-ones. For we are in GOD'S eyes sons of his own likeness and visible image or put an other way Jesus's. For how can two sit as one at Father's right hand accept they be as one.
1John 2:28-3:3 "And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear (as the day star within us), we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." (KJV)
1John 2:28-3:3 "And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him. See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure." (ESV)
1John 2:28-3:3 "So now, just like an [1]infant in a mother's embrace, [2]abide in this place of innocence where his [3]manifest appearance is meant to be fully realized and echoed in unashamed utterance! In his [4]immediate presence there exists no sense of shame or any form of [5]separation! ([1, G5040] Teknion, diminutive of (G5043) teknon, an infant.

The word, [4, G3952, translated confidence G3954 parrhēsia, means frankness, bluntness], (G3952 is from the present participle of G3918 pareimi, has two parts from G3844 and G1510) parousia, speaks of the immediate presence of the LORD!

The word, [5, G575] apo, means away from, here translated separation.) To perceive GOD'S righteousness as defining his [1]"I-am-ness," concludes that everyone born of him inherently partakes of the same pattern and poetry that his righteousness inspires.

(The word, [1, G2564] kaleo, to identify by name; to surname.)

In context, GOD'S perfect workmanship as Father of humanity is forgotten; people have become "crooked and perverse" twisted and distorted out of their true pattern of sonship. Deuteronomy 32:18 says, you have forgotten the Rock that begot you and have gotten out step with the GOD who dances with you!

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 2:26 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John, has revealed by way of divine influence or inner inspiration the secret of GOD in humanity from the beginning. The action of the cross just beings it to light, life and agape within the receivers who find there the divine faithfulness as received by Abram, who by doing so GOD changed to Abraham, a great mystery for the unredeemed worldly of humanity. For like Emmanuel's coming through the gate of woman; all humanity has a gate as defined by GOD, the cross being that gate for re-bithing, the being born again or of from above. As seen in Galatians 2:20, 5:24, 6:14; Romans 6:4-6, 8:3-4; Colossians 2:11-14; Hosea 6:1-3.
1John 2:26-27 "These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." (KJV)
1John 2:26-27 "I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him." (ESV)
1John 2:26-27 "My intention with this writing is to nullify the influence of those who wish to unsettle you. I am convinced that the effect of his touch within you is permanent; this is Christ-annointing that teaches us all things, so that we do not need any strange teacher, whose doctrine does not resonate with truth. Deception cannot compete with spirit-resonance." (The Mirror)
My wish for both you and yours is for the realization within of this greatest of gifts, GOD'S own resonance restored. Now is the time or season for all humanity to awaken to His Who IS! Is this resonance within.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 2:18 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John is moving now into the Now kingdom of GOD and liberty, as our lives experience's as GOD'S restoring of his life, light and agape of promise, as spoken in Genesis 3:15. Now takes hold in the world of darkness and at times overwhelming resistance to this truth. Because manty loves darkness more than truth and light, in which there is active justice or balance and harmony far and wide. The resistance is seen over the past centuries manties love of darkness has brought wars and rumors of wars world wide, at great cost of human life. All because of the worlds religion's proclaim of another gospel, a gospel of delay and futurism, a some day event as if Christ has not yet returned, as Paul warned of and the ancients spoke of. And as John's small book of Christ's world conflict reveals, known as the Revelation speaks of in picture detail of heavenly language that causes confusion to manties unredeemed mind. Because of the spiritual language that seems to be in conflict with manties literal flesh interpretations this holds many in religions bondage and darkness's slavery still. The LORD called me as a guide (2Timothy 4:1-5) to help dispel the darkness and break the delusional spells of religion's hold through proclaiming the Now truth of Christ in you.
1John 2:18-25 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth(1) the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life." (KJV)
1John 2:18-25 "Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses(1) the Son has the Father also. Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life." (ESV)
1John 2:18-25 "Children, this is the completeness of the prophetic ages of time; the revelation of Christ brings finality and closure to this hour; which makes the anti-Christ system now more apparent than ever before, just as it was rumored. There are many who have positioned themselves against Christ; blatantly opposing grace; this confirms that time has reached its most extreme context! The days of confusion between two opposing systems are over! (Look at John 1:17 Against the stark backdrop of the Law, Moses representing the condemned state of humanity, Verses Jesus Christ unveiling grace and truth in light and life's agape Truths!) Here there remains no room for hiding in a compromising mode! Pretense is no disguise; the grace and finished work of Christ has absolutely nothing in common with religions systems that continue to keep people ensalved to their programs and rituals of outdated sentimental ideals! Their departure from amongst us simply reveals that they never really embraced Christ; one cannot be for and against Christ at the same time! The Christ anointing within us is evidence that we echo what we carry! The Holy Spirit has made him tangible in our life, and we see clearly, no smoke and mirrors of religion required! My writing to you is not to question your perception of the truth, but to endorse it! No form of deception can possibly coexist with truth. Deception just cannot see that Jesus is the Messiah. The anti-Messiah systems contradicts both Father and his Son (and I might add us as Father's sons). We cannot have the one without the other! To reject one is to reject the other. What we say about the Son, immediately reflects our opinion of Father! (The word, (1, G3670 from a compound of the base of G3674 and G3056 ) homologeo, to acknowledge, to covenant with, is from (G3674) homo, the same, and (G3056) lego, to speak.) Make that which you have heard from the beginning your permanent reference; and what I have written in the beginning of this letter (1John 1:1-4) will be our testimony too! The same constant that is enjoyed in our fellowship of Father and Son is yours! This is the essence of the life of the ages restored within us which he announced and purposed from the beginning. (Amazing thoughts to consider that our Father who knows us individually, long before he formed us, is the same Engineer who knew every minute detail of our being as we grew mystically in the secret sanctuary of our mother's womb! and knows us now, and longs to introduce us to ourselves again, so that we may know, even as we have always known! Jeremiah 1:5, 1Corinthians 13:12) (The Mirror, with editing)
GOD has always had his eye on us from our engineer in our moms womb to our end here on earth. This is how we know that Now is our eternal entry.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 2:15 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are now entering an area in which John tells all not to remain or even return to the word's darkness of unbelief. As they are in the final days of the old age and entering the new Now age of prophecy. But as we are learning that is where the worlds churches made up of billions of people have been hoodwinked to stay. All in the name of Christ but remain unbelief, because of its message of delay and futurism's, as a thing done under cover of darkness as in the night. Because it has not rightly divided the word of GOD'S revelation as spoken of by the Prophetic words of the ancient ages messengers, the prophets of the Hebrew people up to and including their Messiah, as he was the culmination of that ages economy. Their message spoken in simple but a higher language as a stumbling block of light, that over comes darkness's sin, unbelief that keeps manity in distortion, under a cloud of delusion. Paul spoke of this, and John speaks of this before he moves us on to the anti-Christ.
1John 2:15-17 " Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride[2] of life[1], is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (KJV)
1John 2:15-17 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride[2] of life[1]—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." (ESV)
1John 2:15-17 "The Father's agape does not compete with anything of the world-systems have to offer! Its cosmic attractions are all superficial and external; the Father's agape is from within. Do not be lured into an emptiness of darkness where agape is absent and mans superficial love and romance seems in abundance! There is a clear distinction between the [1]biological, physical life that is exploited by the "I am not-mentality" of the worlds religious systems, and the authentic zoe-life of our design that is sourced in the Father of spirits. The one engages the individual with a constant yearning and craving for fleshly gratifications, with eyes desperately scanning for recognition; this inevitably results in [2]cheap bragging and boastful conversations, which is so utterly boring while the Father's life satisfies completely. (The word, [1, G979] bios, refers to biological, or physical life; while (G2222 from G2198 zaō, is a verb meaning live, to be quickened) zoe, refers more to spiritual life. The word, [2, G212 from G213 alazōn, boaster] alazoneia, means empty, braggart talk, translated pride.) The world systems with all its glorious dreams comes and goes; but whoever engages with the poetry of GOD'S desires abides unchanged into the conclusion of the ages, as a Now person." (The Mirror, with editing)
Until our next visit may the LORD increase our awareness of his great truth as he resides within us.
1John 2:15-17 " Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride[2] of life[1], is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (KJV)

For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride[2] of life[1]—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." (ESV)

(The word, [1, G979] bios, refers to biological, or physical life; while (G2222 from G2198 zaō, is a verb meaning live, to be quickened) zoe, refers more to spiritual life. The word, [2, G212 from G213 alazōn, boaster] alazoneia, means empty, braggart talk, translated pride.) The world systems with all its glorious dreams comes and goes; but whoever engages with the poetry of GOD'S desires abides unchanged into the conclusion of the ages, as a Now person."

Until our next visit may the LORD increase our awareness of his great truth as he resides within us.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 2:12 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are still in John's discourse of Christ as our life and richness of life, light and agape of GOD'S indwelling us, just as he did the humanity of Jesus. The whole purpose and reason for Emmanuel's mission of restoration as promised in Genesis 3:15 of 14-15, where the word, [1, Hebrew H6119 ‛âqêb ‛iqqebâh], means to restrain, the Latin is relagar, English religion, to bind is found, there translated, heel] where we find this first in the KJV and then in the ESV: Genesis 3:14-15 "And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel[1]." (KJV)
Genesis 3:14 The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel[1]." (ESV)
Now for John's inspiration of Christ in our humanity. Our victory over the worlds darkness and mankind's many religious systems, of great bondage's of self-slavery, which the greatest is unbelief, brought upon man by the fruit of the I am-not-tree. And its gospel of delay and futurism's.
1John 2:12-14 "I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, "little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one." (KJV)
1John 2:12-14 "I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one." (ESV)
1John 2:12-14 "The reason for my writing is to remind you to live your lives in the innocence of an [1]infant! The name Jesus means that we can rest assured in our salvation from sin's harassment! ([1, G5040 ] Teknion, diminutive of (G5043) teknon, an infant.) My writing also reminds you that your fatherhood has its authentic genesis in him who is from the beginning. (1John 2:7-8, 5:20) And to you young men, I write to congratulate you for your victory over the [1]exhausting system of (religions) hardships, annoyances and labors. You have discovered your strength in Christ's achievement and not your own efforts! I wrote to all of you as children because you know GOD as your Father. (The word often translated evil, is [1, G4190 from a derivative of G4192; hurtful, that is, evil (properly in effect or influence, and thus differing from G2556, which refers rather to essential character, as well as from G4550, which indicates degeneracy from original virtue, innocence), also G4191 ponēroteros, more wicked] poneros, from which according to Thayer's definition means to be full of labors, annoyances, hardships; to be pressed and harassed by labors. This is so typical of the religious systems of a work-based self-righteousness, as opposed to faith righteousness. This is the fruit of the I am-not-tree-system of Genesis 3:12 where this is found in the KJV; Gen 3:12 of 9-12 "And the LORD GOD called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, "I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." And GOD said, 'Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?' And the man said, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat." The young men who become weary and exhausted under the systems of hardship and labors; the Law of works, have discovered their eagle wings in Kawa-mode; where GOD'S thoughts entwine with their thoughts, and his strength ignites within, us as it did them. Isaiah 40:31, the Hebrew word, (H6960 qâvâh) kawa, often translated, to wait, means to entwine; to plat together.) What I have written previously will resonate with the fathers whose acquaintance with him is established in the prophetic voice [1]from the beginning. Also the young men will find their strength endorsed in my writings, since they have the sure word firmly rooted within them as their permanent source and reference. They have defeated the duty-and guilt-driven system that snared them (and the whole world of religion) before in the futility of their own efforts. (The word, [1, G746 from G756 archomai, to be first] arche, means to be first in order, time, place or rank.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit may the LORD richly bless you and yours with his light knowledge.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 2:7 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Continuing on from where I left off with John's description of our
redeemed and restored relationship of right standing before GOD, as a
face-to-Face encounter. Where many translations use the word that
Jesus used to describe the Holy Spirit as our advocate (the Strong's
numbering shows this as G3875) or justifier before GOD. We just discovered that due in part to our redeemed nature of design, our origin, we are accepted in the beloved before GOD our Father as the fulfilled prophetic word of the prodigal son shows, was in Jesus' illustration that goes by that title and name in Luke 15:11-32. Now John moves us to what some study Bibles label as a new commandment, but is it? Or has he just repeated Jesus' own words, to agape each other. Not as the world uses love in a flippant manor but as GOD is Agape we are also.
1John 2:7-11 "Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his (hearts, spirits) eyes." (KJV)
1John 2:7-11 "Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his (hearts, spirits) eyes." (ESV)
1John 2:7-11 "My beloved family, I know that the words I write to you here may not immediately remind you of the [1]precepts of Moses; this does not mean that it is a new [1]doctrine, it is the ancient [1]conversation that [2]echos GOD'S voice prophetically! It is indeed the very [1]conclusion of the word, which you have heard from the beginning! (The word, [1, G1785 from G1781 entellomai, to enjoin, from G1722 and the base of G5056 ] entole, is often translated commandment or precept; this word has two components: (G1722) en, meaning in and (G5056 from a primary word τέλλω tellō) telos, from (G5055) tello, meaning to set out for a defined point of destination or goal; properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, by implication, the conclusion of an act or state or matter, the result; the ultimate or prophetic purpose. Strong's G5056. The word , [2, G191 akouō, to hear from G189] echo, means to hold, like sound is held in an echo; to resonate.) And yet it is a glorious [1]new [2]message that I am writing to you! You may ask, "How can this which is old, also be new?" Here is the secret of its newness: whatever is true of Jesus is equally true of us! The days of the [3]dominance of darkness as a reference to human life, are over! The true light surely shines with [4]bold certainty and illuminates our life, as it is unveiled in Christ in us! (The word, [1, G2537] kainos means, fresh, recent, unused, unworn, of a new kind, unprecedented, novel, uncommon (no longer of mere common use, meaning (G3501 neos neōteros) heart-flesh has changed it is identity, to that of an awakened spirit). The freshness of this encounter is celebrated in a fellowship of exactly the same oneness enjoyed (in Genesis 1:26-27, 2:1-3, 6-7, 18, 21-25.) between the Father and his son, or Father and Son! Again the word, [2, G1785] entole is used in verse 7, precept or teaching. the word, [3, G3855 from G3844 and G71] parago, from (G3844) para, close proximity and (G71) agoo, to lead; thus darkness will no longer lead us (you) into its sway. The word, [4, G2235 from G2228 (or possibly G2229) and G1211 ] ede, means even now:- already, by this time; from (G2228 or G2229) e [pronounced ay] an adverb of confirmation; assured: - surely; and (G1211) de [pronounced day] which is a particle of emphasis or explicitness; NOW, then, etc,,,: - also, and, doubtless, Now, therefore.) To feel justified in our judgment to [1]dislike a fellow human, is to continue in darkness, even if you might claim to be in the light and life of agape! This place of illumination is not cheap talk! It immediately translates into seeing your brother differently! (Look at 1John 1:6, also 2Corinthians 5:16. [1]It is common among the Hebrews to use the terms "love" and "hatred" in this comparative sense, where the former implied strong positive attachment, and the latter, not positive hatred, but merely a less love, or the withholding of the expression of affection [compare Genesis 29:30-31; Luke 14:26]) Form this conscious union with that which light reveals, there follows a deep agape for the very brother who might previously have irritated you! If anyone thinks less of his brother that what agape reveals, it is proof of a blindfold mode, where reference is blurred by a mind trapped in a maze of dark thoughts, which leads nowhere." (The Mirror, with editing.)
Wow! is all that I have to say about what is revealed here! NOW is the word for our lives under GOD'S headship as he was over Jesus' as he proclaimed Christ in himself and within us as the redeemed. This was the message from the beginning. We are NOW in Salvation's control, as eternity is NOW!
1John 2:7-11 "Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed by 1John 2:3 with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Continuing on from where I left off with John's description of our redeemed, restored relationship of right standing before GOD as a face-to-Face encounter. Where many translations use the as word that Jesus used to describe the Holy Spirit as and advocate (the Strong's numbering shows this as G3875) or justifier before GOD.
1John 2:3-6 "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep[1] his commandments[2]. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth[1] in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked." (KJV)
1John 2:3-6 "And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep[1] his commandments[2]. Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, But whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides[1] in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked." (ESV)
1John 2:3-6 "In this we know that we know him; by [1]treasuring the [2]conclusion of his prophetic purpose. (The word, [1, G5083] tereo, means to attend to carefully, to take care of, to treasure something with utmost attention. The word, [2, G1785 from G1781 entellomai, meaning to enjoin from G1722 and the base of G5056 ] entole, is often translated commandment or precept; has two components in the construction of this word, (G1722) en, meaning in and (G5056) telos, from tello, to set out for a definite point or goal; properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, by implication, the conclusion of an act or state, the result; the ultimate or prophetic purpose a closing of a era.) To merely claim that you know him, based on your own academic or even sentimental interpretation of him, and not upon the conclusion of his prophetic purpose unveiled in your heart of hearts that treasures his hidden truth, is to continue to live a life of pretense! (As Paul also stated in 2Corinthians 5:16, "we once knew Christ from a human point of view but we no longer know him like that!" Or in that fashion! Keeping the context of John's writing in mind, 1John 1:5-8, My conversation with you flows from the same source which illuminates our fellowship of union with Father and the Son. This, then, is the essence of our message: GOD is radiance of light and life and in him there exists not even a trace of obscurity of shadow or darkness of that shadow at all. This is real deal! To live a life of pretense is a such a waste! The truth has no competition. Truth inspires the poetry of sincere fellowship in total contrast to a fake, false veneer of performance-based friendship! Light is not threatened by darkness! Why say something with darkness as your reference? We are invited to explore the dimensions of the same light that fully engulfs GOD; when we see this light in his light, fellowship ignites us! In his light we have understanding of how the blood of Jesus Christ in the total removal of every stain of sin! The full success of our joint union of the cross celebrates our total and complete redemption, our restored redeemed innocence is realized! To claim innocence by our own efforts under the Law of personal performance is to deceive ourselves and makes the cross a shame that deliberately ignores the truth.) Whoever treasures [1]the logic of GOD'S authentic thought, has his agape-love fully realized in its most complete context. This is what our association and union in Christ is all about! (GOD'S word, or logic, his authentic thought, [1, G3056] logos; of John 1:1. Look also at John 14:20, "In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you!" also at 1John 5:20, "We know that the Son of GOD has come, and he has given us his understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true!") It is in this place of consciousness of our [1]abiding in the awareness of our oneness that our conversation springs from to unveil the same fellowship with Father that Jesus enjoys (his joy of promise realized now, Matthew 13:44, John 15:11, 17:13), and it results in our daily walk that mirrors his; one of living our life in the full [2]benefit of it! (The word, [1, G3306] meno, suggests an uninterrupted abiding, a seamless oneness! The word, [2, G3784 from the base of G3786] opheilo, is often translated, ought to, is from the stem (G3786) ophelos, which means to advantage, to profit, to gain advantage, to heap up, to accumulate, to benefit.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now how many people have his joy? May our LORD show within us his great truth.
1John 2:3-6 "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep[1] his commandments[2]. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth[1] in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked." (KJV)
1John 2:3-6 "And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep[1] his commandments[2]. Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, But whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides[1] in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked." (ESV)
1John 2:3-6 "In this we know that we know him; by [1]treasuring the [2]conclusion of his prophetic purpose.

(GOD'S word, or logic, his authentic thought, [1, G3056] logos; of John 1:1. Look also at John 14:20, "In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you!" also at 1John 5:20, "We know that the Son of GOD has come, and he has given us his understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true!") It is in this place of consciousness of our [1]abiding in the awareness of our oneness that our conversation springs from to unveil the same fellowship with Father that Jesus enjoys (his joy of promise realized now, Matthew 13:44, John 15:11, 17:13), and it results in our daily walk that mirrors his; one of living our life in the full [2]benefit of it! (The word, [1, G3306] meno, suggests an uninterrupted abiding, a seamless oneness! The word, [2, G3784 from the base of G3786] opheilo, is often translated, ought to, is from the stem (G3786) ophelos, which means to advantage, to profit, to gain advantage, to heap up, to accumulate, to benefit.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now how many people have his joy? May our LORD show within us his great truth.
