Gbile Akanni Message -Keep Yourself From Idols
Shall we pray together? Lord, we thank you for the way you led us and the way you have been leading us.
Thank you for bringing us to this point where we could draw conclusions on the issues that you have raised with us in our studies in the book of 1 John. Our Father, we just pray that as you tie issues together today, let it mix with faith in our hearts. Even those who just meet us at the end of this series, we ask, Lord, that you will also guide their lives.
Thank you for hearing us. We believe you that greater things than all that we have known before will you yet lead each one of your children to. Thank you, Father, for hearing us, for we have prayed together in Jesus' name.
Amen. We thank God that we have had this series of discussions on the first epistle of John. And today we are going to be drawing final conclusions in the issues that God has raised with us.
We are going to read the last few verses of that chapter, I know of chapter 5, 1 John 5, and verse 18, verse 19, verse 20, and verse 21. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not, but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one touches him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.
We know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
