The statement to fathers is a repetition of the previous statement, emphasizing the idea. But even those mature believers were written to; none are too old to continue learning. John wrote to young men were strong - qualified for active and useful service in the cause of the Christ. They had showed that they could be relied on and depended on to advocate and live out the great principles of Christianity. As believers we must all put on the armor of God daily to defend our faith and perform our responsibilities with all the strength we have in Christ. We must also have wisdom to discern what around us is of God and what is of the evil one.
i like what you said at the end. we must also have wisdom to discern what around us is of God and what is of the evil one. I think this is where a lot of Christians fail. because instead of looking at situations through God's word, they look at it from their own perspective and then justify why something is "okay" when it really isn't. Good post.
ReplyDeleteSo true SavedbyGrace! I am sure I fall into the trap myself sometimes. I pray I will be convicted by the Holy Spirit when it happens!
