  17. 1 John 1:1-10 • The Word of Life •  1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched— this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.     2 The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.

  18. 1 John 1:1-10 •     3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. •     4 We write this to make our joy complete.

  19. 1 John 1:1-10 • Walking in the Light •  5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.     • 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.

  20. 1 John 1:1-10 •     7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. •     8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

  21. 1 John 1:1-10 •     9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. •     10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

  23. REFORMATION DAY READING (31st October 1517) • A Confession of our Reformed Faith – taken from part of the Scot’s Confession of 1560 • Our faith and its assurance do not proceed from flesh and blood, that is to say, from natural powers within us, but are the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

  24. REFORMATION DAY READING (31st October 1517) • For by nature we are so dead, so blind, and so perverse, that neither can we feel when we are touched, see the light when it shines, nor assent to the will of God when it is revealed, unless the Spirit of the Lord Jesus makes alive that which is dead,

  25. REFORMATION DAY READING (31st October 1517) • removes the darkness from our minds, and bows our stubborn hearts to the obedience of his blessed will… by ourselves we are not capable of thinking one good thought, but he who has begun the work in us alone continues us in it, to the praise and glory of his undeserved grace.

  26. Psalm 32:1-6*(p. 38) 1 How blessed the one who has received forgiveness for his sin! 2 Whose sins are covered from God’s face, Whose debt is cancelled in God’s grace; there’s no deceit in him.

  33. 3 – One John warns of THREE strands of Heresy! • Three absurdClaims: 1 John 1:8, 6, 10. • We are without sin..; we are in fellowship with God while walking in darkness…; we say we have not sinned, and with this claim we make God out to be a liar. • This heresy is alive and well today.
