A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#All unrighteousness is sin and there is a sin not unto death. 1 John 5:17
As the law states he that sins will die and there is a sin not unto death. We must pray to the Holy Spirit to keep us from all sin by not grieving the Spirit when He convicts us of sin in our lives. As we study the word of God the Spirit takes the things of Christ and makes them real in our lives by allowing us to walk in the Spirit. By doing this we live a holy life free from the condemnation of sin unto death. Sin is separation just like death is the separation of the body from the Spirit. When Jesus died on the cross He took our sins and cast them into the debts of the ocean never to be remembered again. So now we are justified as if we never sinned and are accepted in the Beloved. Therefore, walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. I thank God for the Spring when plants come to life from the deep freeze of the Winter. The Christian life is like that when old things are passed away and all things have become new.
#If any man sees 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. 1 John 5:16
Here we have the responsibility to restore our brother who has not committed a sin unto to death as Galatians 6:1 tells us. We must with meekness restore our brother considering ourselves lest we also would be tempted. What is the sin unto death? Every sin shall be forgiven except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and that would be the sin unto death. Prayer changes things and we must pray for our brothers and sisters to be restored in the faith that they may walk in the light as He is in the light and the blood of Jesus shall cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
#And if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:15
We have the escopultory knowledge that God hears us when we ask anything according to His will and we have the desired petitions that we desired of him. So if your prayers are not being answered, then you need to change the scope of your praying for the salvation of others as this is the will of God and then you will receive the desired petitions from Him. Our prayers go out to Queen Elizabeth II in the passing of her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. We thank God for his life and know that he is absent from the body and present with the Lord.
#And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us: 1 John 5:14
Answered prayer is paramount and when we ask anything according to the will of the Father God, we know that He hears us. So you ask what is the will of God? That all men would be saved. So praying for the salvation of others is a necessity for us to have our prayers answered. Also having the right relationship with your spouse is very important. So when spouses are arguing with each other that is a hindrance to answered prayer. I am separated from my wife and she left me because she said she wanted to be at peace. I have been celibate since our separation and pray that I will continue until this relationship will be restored. 1 Peter 3:7 is the reference verse for this situation. I have been praying for over four years that the relationship could be restored and still, nothing has happened. So does that mean that God is not hearing me? Or does it mean that I should be praying for the salvation of my spouse? We know that God answers prayer in three ways: yes, no, and wait. I am still waiting on the Lord as He has promised to renew my strength in Isaiah 40:31 I know that God is hearing me. I thank God that my spouse is being sanctified by my faith.
#These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5:13
The apostle John has written these things that you may believe in the name of the Son of God and this is done so that you may know that you have eternal life by placing your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. So if anyone asks you how can you know you have eternal life? Use this verse because God wants us to have the complete assurance of our eternal life. No other Religion gives such a determination as Christianity does, mainly because of the relationship that we have by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Take time to spend time outside enjoying the birds singing which informs us of the faithfulness of the Lord and do not worry since God provides for the birds, then how much greater are we than the birds, therefore, He will provide for us the eternal life that we need.
#He that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 1 John 5:12
Yes, this is the record of eternal life, that he that has the Son has life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. Your salvation is completely dependent upon your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, as God has sent His Son into the world as our propitiation for our sins and if you reject Him then not only do you not have life, but the wrath of God dwells on you. This is a sobering passage in the Bible and should cause you to think have I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. It is my prayer in this coronavirus pandemic that you will receive the Son today as your Personal Lord and Savior.
#And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in His Son. 1 John 5:11
The European countries are celebrating the Easter Monday Holiday and we have just celebrated Resurrection Sunday. This is the record that we have that Jesus Christ has risen from the grave with all power in His hands and has given us the eternal life that God the Father promised us by believing in His Son. O death where is thy Sting? O grave where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law: thanks be unto God who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. This is my favorite Holiday as, without the resurrection, Christmas would be in vain. Yet now is Christ risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of all those who sleep in the grave. Now we too will have our glorified bodies just like Jesus when we rise from the dead. We also have the blessed hope that we will be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the appearance of Christ in the Rapture. May the Lord bless you with that eternal life by placing your faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
#O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 1 Cor. 15:55
Up from the grave, Jesus Christ arose, full of power over sin and the grave. The sting of death is sin, and Jesus gave us the victory when He said: It is finished!!! Now we have hope when we stand at the gravesite of a loved one that we too will be victorious over the grave because Jesus lives, we shall live also. Thank God for doubting Thomas who said except I shall feel the nail prints in his hands I shall not believe. Then Jesus said reach here Thomas, and be not unbelieving. Then Thomas reached and said: MY Lord and MY God. Jesus said Thomas you believe because you have seen, but I say blessed are those who believe and have not seen. My brothers and sisters that is us, we believe and say He arose, from the grave. It is my prayer that if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior that you will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the grave while confessing with your mouth that He is Lord to be saved.
#He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son. 1 John 5:10
Jesus took captivity captive as He transferred Paradise in Sheol, to heaven and gave gifts unto men. This is the witness of the Son of God and by believing this you have the witness in yourself. However, he who believes not the witness of God hath made Him a liar, because he believes not the witness of the scriptures God gave of His Son. It is impossible for God to lie so believe the witness of God for it is greater and you will have eternal life for doing so. Many people get caught up in easter egg hunts, but this is a pagan practice and has nothing to do with the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness and plant seeds of faith in others so that they will believe the witness of God to be saved. Whosoever will confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and shall believe in his heart that God hath raised Him from the grave shall be saved.
#If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which He hath testified of His Son. 1 John 5:9
As we celebrate Good Friday, many people say why is it good? The reason is that Jesus submitted to the will of God the Father and endured the cross, despising the shame, and purchased our salvation with the blood and the water of regeneration. This is the witness of God which is greater than the witness of man, for God has all the records stored in the courtroom of heaven, and the Holy Spirit bears witness when we believe the report. The report is that Christ died, was buried, and the third day rose again for our salvation. He that has the Son has eternal life and shall not come into condemnation. He that has not the Son is condemned already because he has not believed the witness of God which is greater. Jesus was crucified between two thieves, one on the right and the other on the left while one said if you be the Son of God, why don't you come down from this cross and save yourself; then the other said: Lord remember me when you come into your kingdom. Jesus replied this day shall you be in Paradise with me. What a blessing it is to believe the report of the gospel which is the good news that we too will be absent from the body and present with the Lord when we die. Then in the first resurrection, we will receive a body just like Jesus. This is why today is Good Friday for in a day of bad news there is good news that Jesus Christ is our risen Lord & Savior when we believe the witness of God.
