  And this is the testimony; that GOD has given us eternal life, and this life is in HIS SON. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.(1 John 5: 11,12).

  These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world ---------- our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

TESTING THE SPIRITS

  Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God.for many false profits 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 of God. And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God.

  And that is the spirit of the antichrist which you have heard was coming and is now already in the world. You are of God little children and have overcome them.because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world, therefore they speak as of the world and the world hears them. We are of GOD. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

  While it is true that one need not always FEEL spiritual to have new life in Christ. Nevertheless feelings and emotions do play a vital role in our salvation. Both of the apostles Paul and John inform us that we can experience that inner witness of the Holy Spirit to our spirit. What does this mean?

  It means we can enjoy the quiet confidence given by the holy spirit that we have indeed passed from death unto life. It means that we can now approach the mighty Creator of the vast universe and refer to Him as Abba(Father) for what ever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that has overcome the world ----- our Faith!
