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.

#He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1John 1:6
We know that we abide in Jesus Christ when we walk as he walked in love. Let us love one another so that we can have a brotherhood. If you say that you love God, but hate your brother, then you are a liar and the truth is not in you. It is time to end racism and work together to end all the riots and work toward peace through reconciliation. Jesus said whoso hates his brother is a murderer and no murderer will inherit the kingdom of God. Heaven is a place of endless love and all those who are going to heaven must love their neighbor as thyself. When we do that we fulfill the law of God and prove that we are the children of God. John knew about love for he was the disciple that Jesus loved and laid his head on Jesus's breast. Love is kind, keeps no records of wrongs, believes all things, hopes all things, love never fails. So if you want to go to Heaven confess your sin of hatred and repent of it and the blood of Jesus will cleanse you of all your sin. Then you will have a home in heaven with all the saints in glory with God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
#But whoso keepeth his word, in him is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 1John 1:5
We know that we are in God when we keep his word and in him is the love of God perfected. Love does no evil to his neighbor and God is love. Therefore we must not forsake the assembling together as some do, but as we see the Day of Christ coming we must provoke one another to love and good works. We must love the Lord with all our hearts, minds, and souls this is the first commandment and the second is like unto it: we must love our neighbor as ourselves; on these two commandments hangs all the law and the prophets. John is the apostle of love and this is agape love that loves in spite of our feelings. Love is kind, rejoices in the truth, is not proud, thinks no evil, and works for the good of all mankind. Jesus warned us on the Mount Olivet discourse that because iniquity would be unbound, the love of many would wax cold. My little children let us love one another even those who would despitefully use us. This is how the love of God is perfected in us.
#He that saith, I know him and keepeth, not his commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him. 1John 2:4
As Jesus said ye shall know the tree by the fruit that it bears and just to say I know him while not keeping his commandments is a liar void of the truth. We know that all liars shall be cast into the Lake of Fire. We must walk in the light as He is in the Light to prove that we are the children of God. Light is synonymus with life and darkness is the sign of death. Truth sets us free from darkness and lying. We must pray for the peaceful transfer of power to the Biden administration. Those who keep lying about fraud are the perpetrators of fraud and the truth is not in them. God has given us the government for the punishment of evildoers. The Lord Jesus shall return with flaming fire to execute judgment on those who obey not the gospel. So it is time to repent and turn to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ while there is time.
#And hereby we do know that we know Him if we keep his commandments. 1John 1:3
We know that we know the Father through the Son if we keep His commandments. Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandments. This is not legalism for love is the fulfillment of the law and God is love. This is how we know we have been born of God. For Jesus said we must be born again to inherit the Kingdom of God. My little children if you are part of a hate group espousing hatred over the Internet this is not of God. Thank God that the Internet companies are doing something to curb hatred which caused the violet insurrection on the United States Capital by blocking members of these hate groups on these websites. We must pray to God to keep us safe in the midst of this political unrest and for a peaceful transfer of power to the Biden administration. Churches need to be careful not to be linked to these groups and speak the truth in love so that all those inside the body of Christ as well as outside know where we stand on these issues.
#And He is the propitiation for our sins and not ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.1John 2:2
Hilasterion the Greek word for propitiation which expiates our sins by the blood of Jesus. He is at the right hand of the Father in heaven interceding for us as a defense attorney. Jesus silences the accuser of our brethren, Satan, who accuses us day and night by telling him my blood has expiated all their sins. What a blessing this is as many people would not be able to hire an attorney to intercede for them, but God commends his love toward us by sending His Son to die on the cross for our sins. Not our sins only but for the sins of the whole world, yet we have to appropriate that grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Yom Kippur in the Septuagint is where Jehovah God takes care of the sin problem in the old testament looking forward to the Cross. The Jews had to sacrifice a lamb of the first-born of the flock which was a type of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us pray for our nation and our President to call on the Lord to forgive and heal us from the events at the Nations Capital of January 6, 2021
#My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1John 2:1
The apostle John is using this term of endearment for Christians by calling them little children, as we are children of God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the righteous Advocate that we have before the Father. Let us not sin and abuse the grace of God, for St. John says if any man sins, which denotes that we can live a holy and sinless life by the power of the Holy Spirit. Yet it is possible for us to sin and we have an Advocate the Lord Jesus Christ who intercedes for us before the Father. So let us pray to Jesus our Advocate to keep us sinless by living by the Spirit so that we will not yield to the lust of the flesh.
#If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us. 1John 1:9,10
When we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This is known as operation rebound as in basketball when the ball is shot and misses the goal, you rebound the ball and put it in the basket. This is what happens when we are truly penitent and by agreeing with God that we have sinned. If we say that we have not sinned, we make God a liar, which is not possible, and his word is not in us. So let us mortify our members by prostrating ourselves before God in prayer allowing the Holy Spirit is sanctifying us. What a blessing this is when we do this and fellowship in the Church is restored. This is how we become holy and righteous before God. So if you have sinned then confess your faults one to another so the blood of Jesus will cleanse us of all sin
#If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1John 1:8
May the Lord have mercy upon the United States of America as we just witnessed an insurrection of the Capital of the United States of America and not since the war of 1812 when the British invaded has such a breach happened. Truly we all have sinned and need to confess our guilt before God. We as Americans must pray for the reconciliation of this great country to take place and if we Christians say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We must work to rebuild this great Republic and work together for the peace and security of all Americans. Let us pray President Trump will do the right thing and leave the White House after his term has ended without any more insurrections. Thank God that Vice President Pence did his duty to confirm the election of President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Karmala Harris. We must continue to pray for a peaceful transfer of power and that Christians work together to unite a divided country.
#But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.1John 1:7
We are cleansed from original and actual sin when we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. This is the epidemy of holiness and we are blessed when we walk in fellowship. That is why Satan does all he can to keep us from walking in fellowship because of sin in the church. That is why it behooves us to decry all the schemes of the devil and walk in the light as he is in the light. If anyone is taken in sin, ye that are spiritual should seek to restore the one to fellowship, considering yourself, less ye should also be tempted. By doing this we keep the fellowship of the body of Christ in tack. When we assemble to take the Lord's Supper we must examine ourselves to make sure that we do not take it unworthily. We are cleansed by the blood of Jesus when we confess our sins to God. This is how the fellowship is maintained and the church is purified in Christ without spot or blemish.
#If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth: 1John 1:6
The apostle John is telling us that if we say that we have fellowship with God, but walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth because God is Light. We must be honest with ourselves for God knows all the truth about us. Churches are full of people that are dishonest and not walking in the truth. In order for us to have fellowship with the Father, we must repent of all known sins of commission as well as omission. When we do this our fellowship is restored and we are then walking in the Light of the word of God. It is my prayer that we will be convicted by this scripture and confess our faults one with the other so that we can be healed of our sin problem. If you are being unfaithful to your spouse, then repent and turn to faith in Jesus our Mediator between God and man. Be at peace with all men and follow holiness, for without holiness no man will see the Lord. When we do that we will no longer be walking in darkness but in the light.
