L K Up, Read, & Fill in the Blanks of 1 John 3:23-24

“And this is His _______________: that we should _________ on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. Now he who

keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He _________ in us, by the _________ whom He has given us.”

LOVE

This is our last study. Now, just because it is the last Bible study does not mean it is the least! As a matter of fact,

it may be the most important study we will do!

L K Up & Read 1 John 2:3,7-10“Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the

beginning. Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. He who says he

is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loveshis brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.”

What commandments are being talked about in these verses?Read the answers in these Scriptures:

John 13:34; John 3:36; Mark 12:28-34; John 15:12

Two words describe what the commandments are:

1. __ __ __ __ __ __ __2. __ __ __ __We have looked at what it means toBut, what does the word “believe” mean?

If you truly believed that the bombwould explode, what would your actions be?ochill for a bitotalk about it for awhileotake a napoeat a Snickers baroGET UP & RUN FOR YOUR LIFE


If someone told you that the food on your plate would make you sick if you ate it, and you believed that person, what would you do?oexamine the foodotake a vote on whether to eat it or notoNOT EAT IT & THROW IT AWAY

What if someone very rich told you that if you picked up ten pieces of

trash and threw them away, he would give you $100 and youbelieved him,

what would you do?laugh at that persono

only pick up 9 pieces of trashoignore him and walk awayo

PICK UP 10 PIECES OF TRASH &THROW THEM AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CANo

The point is, if you believe something, you’ll take some action to do something!

Do you believe in Jesus?What does it mean to “believe on the name of God’s only Son, Jesus Christ”?

L K Up, Read, & Fill in the Blanks of 1 Corinthians 3:16

“Do you not know that you are the ____________of God and that the _________ of God dwells in you?”

Do you understand what this verse says?“... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ dwells in you?”

1 Corinthians 3:16

L K Up, Read, & Fill in the Blanks of 1 John 3:23

“And this is His commandment: that we should ________ on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and ________

one another, as He gave us commandment.”

L K Up, Read, & Fill in the Blank of 1 John 3:24

“Now he who keeps His commandments _________ in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us,

by the Spirit whom He has given us.”

Make sure youunderstand thesecommandments!

We are told, if we keep His commandments,we ABIDE in Him.

And the proof that we ABIDE in Him is that He has given us His Spirit.


REMEMBER, in The promise in John 16:5-11 when wetalked about our need of the Holy Spirit

who enables us to live a lifewell-pleasing to the Lord?

So, we know we keep His commandments because we ABIDE in Him. And we know we ABIDE in Him because He gave us His Spirit.

But what is the proof that we have theSpirit of God living inside of us?

We are told in Galatians 5:22,“The fruit of the Spirit is love.”

When a person is overflowing with theHoly Spirit, God’s divine LOVE comes rushing

out like a mighty torrent of living water!

“So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.A woman of Samaria

came to draw water. Jesus said to her, ‘Give Me a drink’ For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, ‘How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?’ For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her, ‘If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a _________,’ you would have asked Him, and He would

have given you living water.’ The woman said to Him, ‘Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?’ Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Whoever drinks of this ___________ will

thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst.But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of

water springing up into ___________ _______.’”

LOVE (agape) is defined for us in two places in theNew Testament. We have already looked at oneof the places in 1 Corinthians 13, now let’s look

at the second definition of LOVE.71

L K Up, Read, & Fill in the Blanks of John 4:5-14

A counterfeit Christian might say,“Don’t worry about others, just take care of yourself.”

The great theme of the Bible is that of God’s LOVE toward us. The proof that

we believe in Jesus Christ is that we LOVE one another!

God desires to have a relationship with you. He has done everything needed to allow you to have that fellowship with Him. Jesus Christ died for you!

He wants you to believe,to ABIDE, to obey,

and to LOVE.

May God help each one of you to LOVE;to LOVE God with all your heart, soul, mind and stength, and to LOVE your neighbor as yourself.

GOD BLESS YOU

L K Up Galatians 5:22-23 Again, Read It, & Fill in the Blanks

“But the _______ of the _______ is _______, joy, peace, longsuffering,kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”

God’s message is clearly found in Galatians 5:22-23 which says,

This is the kind of LOVE that God wants to flow forth from your life; a river of living water!

Through these studies we have looked at theBiblical description of a Christian, a person

who LOVES God and LOVES others.

“That we should love one another.”
