NASB | 1 John 3:24 The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:24 The one who habitually keeps His commandments [obeying His word and following His precepts, abides and] remains in Him, and He in him. By this we know and have the proof that He [really] abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us [as a gift]. |
Subject: How do we know that we are truly saved? |
Bible Note: How do we encourage others when they are hung up with "performance" (I am reminded of the clanging cymbal here 1 Cor 13:1)? We can do nothing on our own, not even love the Lord as He has commanded!I think that the more we come to grips with our own helplessness apart from Him, out hearts become full of gratitude and love for God, not just for the things that He does (and has done!!). Rejoice, again I say rejoice! Thanks for your wonderful counsel - Ps 40:5 was a wonderful blessing - and is this not what we are to be in the body, but a conduit of blessing to others? Thanks!
