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.
