1 John 2 :13

Leave a comment
1 John 2: 13 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.
 
This verse is telling we know God as we grow in our faith and our ability to resist Satan. We start out as children and we have a basic awareness of God and we need to grow. Next as we grow older in our christian walk we are not mature yet but have a good sound doctrine. This makes us stronger against Satan and brings us closer to God. Finally we get to a point where we know enough about God that we can know for a surety that He will do what He promises. It is our job at this point to be the leaders of our church family as wells as our natural family. We never stop learning but at some point we have to start living and teaching the word and wisdom God has given us.

1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
 
This is another way we know God is that our sins are forgiven us . John is saying this is one of the reasons he is writing this letter. Our sins can be forgiven when we put our faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. Once we do this it draws us closer to God and He can now watch over us and guide us. When we were in sin God could not look on us because he cannot look on sin. This is the first step in getting to know God so please if you are in need of His saving grace attend a good Bible teaching church an d see how you can become a part of God’s family. If you are already saved come where you can learn to grow even closer to God.
