In the wee hours of this morning I heard a word not used to my knowledge within the context of any scripture. It was "profile" so what does this word mean and how is it used? For the answer I will turn to the Merriam-Webster dictionary: Noun definition: 1. a human head or face represented or seen in a side view. 2. an outline seen or represented in sharp relief. 4. a set of data often in graphic form portraying the significant feature of something....as a verb: 1. to represent in profile or by a profile: produce (as by drawing, writing, or graphing) a profile of, 2. to shape the outline of by passing a cutter around, 3. to subject to profiling. History and Etymology: Noun, Italian profilo, from profilare to draw in outline, from pro - forward (from Latin)+ filare to spin, from Late Latin. Now how does this fit in with the image and likeness within our own being which we have and consist of; Placed there by GOD eons before the foundations of the world were laid? And does 1John 5 play into this? Let see shall we.
1John 5:1-4, 5-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18-20, 21, "Whosoever believes Jesus is the Christ is born of GOD: and every one that loves Him that begat Loves 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. [Of humanity's co-genesis revealed in the Christ - incarnation.] (The word tereo, means to attend to carefully; Take care of; To guard; To treasure something with great affection. Westcott and Hart used the word poiema instead of tereo. The word entole is often translated commandment or precept; This word has two components: en, in and 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 this is the love of GOD, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of GOD overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.
1John 5:5-12, "Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes Jesus is the Son of GOD? (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. Lk. 24:27, Jn 1:1-3, 5:39-40) This is He that came by water and blood [in the birthing and His death process, shared by all of Humanity], even Jesus Christ; Not by water only, but by water and blood. [For all life has its source in the water and the Blood, Lev. 17:11] And it is the Spirit that breathes life and is the witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record (Gen. 1:1, 26-28) in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one. and there are three that bear witness in the earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one (our restored identity, which means oneness). If we receive the witness of men, the witness of GOD is greater: for this is the witness of GOD which He has testified of His Son. He that believes the Son of GOD has this witness within himself: he that believes not GOD has made Him a liar; Because he believes not the record that GOD gave of His Son. He that has the Son has Life; And he that has not the Son of GOD has no life."
1John 5:13-15 "These things have I written to you that believe the name of the Son of GOD; That you may know that you have eternal Life, and that you may believe 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 hears us: and if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petition that we desire of Him."
1John 5:16-17, "If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death."(This passage's language is not found in any other place, so it could have been inserted by a scribe who inserted his own opinion here.)
1John 5:18-20, "We know that whosoever is born of GOD sins not; For he that is begotten of GOD keeps himself, and that wicked one touches him not. And we know that we are of GOD, and the whole world lies in wickedness/darkness (In subjection to the evil one through the un-redeemed mind.). And we know that the Son of GOD is come, and has given us 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."
1John 5:21, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen."
Have you seen the "profile" within this study? In our next visit I shall the LORD willing begin with John 14.
