God

If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar. For if a person does not love his brother, whom he has seen, then he cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

Yes, this is the command we have from him: whoever loves God must love his brother too.

Everyone who believes that Yeshua is the Messiah has God as his father, and everyone who loves a father loves his offspring too.

Here is how we know that we love God’s children: when we love God, we also do what he commands.

For loving God means obeying his commands. Moreover, his commands are not burdensome,

because everything which has God as its Father overcomes the world. And this is what victoriously overcomes the world: our trust.

Who does overcome the world if not the person who believes that Yeshua is the Son of God?

There are three witnesses —

If we accept human witness, God’s witness is stronger, because it is the witness which God has given about his Son.

Those who keep trusting in the Son of God have this witness in them. Those who do not keep trusting God have made him out to be a liar, because they have not trusted in the witness which God has given about his Son.

And this is the witness: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

Those who have the Son have the life; those who do not have the Son of God do not have the life.

I have written you these things so that you may know that you have eternal life — you who keep trusting in the person and power of the Son of God.

We know that everyone who has God as his Father does not go on sinning; on the contrary, the Son born of God protects him, and the Evil One does not touch him.

We know that we are from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment, so that we may know who is genuine; moreover, we are united with the One who is genuine, united with his Son Yeshua the Messiah. He is the genuine God and eternal life.

Grace, mercy and shalom will be with us from God the Father and from Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

I was very happy when I found some of your children living in truth, just as the Father commanded us.

Everyone who goes ahead and does not remain true to what the Messiah has taught does not have God. Those who remain true to his teaching have both the Father and the Son.

If someone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, don’t welcome him into your home. Don’t even say, “Shalom!” to him;

for the person who says, “Shalom!” to him shares in his evil deeds.

Dear friend, don’t imitate the bad, but the good. Those who do what is good are from God; those who do what is bad are not from God.

From: Y’hudah, a slave of Yeshua the Messiah and a brother of Ya‘akov To: Those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept for Yeshua the Messiah:

For certain individuals, the ones written about long ago as being meant for this condemnation, have wormed their way in — ungodly people who pervert God’s grace into a license for debauchery and disown our only Master and Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.

Thus keep yourselves in God’s love, as you wait for our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to give you the mercy that leads to eternal life.
