AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 4:9 ¶ Now concerning brotherly love, you have no need for anyone to write you, for you have been [personally] taught by God to love one another [that is, to have an unselfish concern for others and to do things for their benefit]. [Lev 19:18; John 13:34] |
Subject: Taught of God? Walk in God? |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, What "doctrine" do you think I am building by my question about the relationship between 1 Thess and John passages? What do you think the "silent influence of his Spirit on our hearts" that Albert Barnes writes about is leading us to love and do? (Specifically as it relates to 1 Thess and John). 1) The references for occurances of "taught of God" in my Study Bible are Jeremiah 31:33f, John 6:45, and 1 John2:27. 2) Jesus (who is God) was a great Teacher, and I agree that we should compare Scripture to Scripture. 3) Of course we also have 1 Corinthians 2:13, "taught by the [Holy] Spirit." NKJ, 1 Cor 2:13, "These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual." From the heart, Ray |
