why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from

no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in

to enter that rest, lest anyone fall through following the same example of disobedience”.

of the grace that would come to you made careful search and inquiry, seeking to
know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He
predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow,. It was revealed
to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which
now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by
the holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look”.
• In 2 Peter

• In 1 John
• He is the Word of Life
• 1 John 1:1 “What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what
we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld and our hands handled, concerning the
word of life—and the life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness
and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested
to us—what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, that you also
may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and
with his Son Jesus Christ”.
• In 2 John

who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver
and the antichrist”.
• In 3 John
