Such people are like wells without water. They are like clouds before a storm. The darkest place below has been kept for them.

They promise that these men will be free. But they themselves are chained to sin. For a man is chained to anything that has power over him.

After knowing the holy Law that was given to them, they turned from it. It would have been better for them if they had not known how to be right with God.

The Lord is not slow about keeping His promise as some people think. He is waiting for you. The Lord does not want any person to be punished forever. He wants all people to be sorry for their sins and turn from them.

You should look for the day of God to come. You should do what you can to make it come soon. At that time the heavens will be destroyed by fire. And the sun and moon and stars will melt away with much heat.

We are looking for what God has promised, which are new heavens and a new earth. Only what is right and good will be there.

Dear friends, since you are waiting for these things to happen, do all you can to be found by Him in peace. Be clean and free from sin.

He paid for our sins with His own blood. He did not pay for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world.

Dear friends, I am not writing a new Law for you to obey. It is an old Law you have had from the beginning. The old Law is the Word that you have heard.

I am writing to you, my children, for your sins have been forgiven because of Christ's name.

For everything that is in the world does not come from the Father. The desires of our flesh and the things our eyes see and want and the pride of this life come from the world.

See what great love the Father has for us that He would call us His children. And that is what we are. For this reason the people of the world do not know who we are because they did not know Him.

The person who is looking for this to happen will keep himself pure because Christ is pure.

The person who keeps on sinning is guilty of not obeying the Law of God. For sin is breaking the Law of God.

We know what love is because Christ gave His life for us. We should give our lives for our brothers.

This is how we know we are Christians. It will give our heart comfort for sure when we stand before Him.

Dear Christian friends, do not believe every spirit. But test the spirits to see if they are from God for there are many false preachers in the world.

This is love! It is not that we loved God but that He loved us. For God sent His Son to pay for our sins with His own blood.

We have come to know and believe the love God has for us. God is love. If you live in love, you live by the help of God and God lives in you.

Love is made perfect in us when we are not ashamed as we stand before Him on the day He judges. For we know that our life in this world is His life lived in us.
