Why did God start another church?The speaker explains that God established their fellowship 39 years ago because other churches began widening the narrow path, making sin acceptable, and loving money rather than serving God alone.
The third reason regarding Sunday and daily livingUnlike traditional churches that focus mainly on Sunday activities like an Old Testament Sabbath, this fellowship emphasizes that all seven days of the week are important for living out our faith in our daily work and life.
Following the model of the apostle JohnWhile most apostles died young, John lived to be about 95 years old, writing letters emphasizing love and pointing believers back to foundational spiritual truths in his old age.
Proclaiming the life that was with the FatherJohn did not merely preach doctrines, healings, or speaking in tongues; he proclaimed the eternal life of Jesus Christ which can be seen, heard, and touched.
God is light and in Him is no darkness at allLight refers to both holiness and love; because God is light, there is no darkness or hatred in Him, and His discipline and judgment are expressions of His righteous nature.
Writing so that we do not sin, and Jesus as our advocateJohn writes so that believers do not sin, but if anyone does sin, Jesus Christ the righteous is our advocate with the Father when we confess our faults.
Falling at Jesus' feet and the call to be an overcomerLike John falling as a dead man at the sight of Christ in Revelation, believers must humble themselves and heed the repeated call to overcome in order to share in Christ's throne.
True victory comes from the Holy Spirit without prideTrue victory over sin is given by Jesus through the Holy Spirit, leaving the believer humble and free from self-righteousness, unlike those who take pride in their own strength.
Sin is the only truly terrible thingNeither sickness, poverty, nor school failures are the ultimate evil—sin is the only truly terrible thing that caused Jesus to be crucified, and believers must treat it with utmost seriousness.
