Dennis R Wiles FBC Arlington September , 220020 FALL 2020 SEPTEMBER 6 – OCTOBER 31, 2020 The Love of God: A Study of 1 John God: How Well Do You Know Him! 1 John 2:3-11 1 John 2:3-11 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them. How well do you know God? Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. -Hosea 4:1 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. -Hosea 6:6 A little knowledge of God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge about God. One can know a great deal about God without much knowledge of him. I am sure that many of us have never really grasped this. We read books of theological exposition and apologetics. We dip into Christian history, and study the Christian creed. We learn to find our way around in the Scriptures. Others appreciate our interest in these things, and we find ourselves asked to give our opinion in public on this or that Christian question, to lead study groups, to give papers, to write articles, and generally to accept responsibility, informal if not formal, for acting as teachers and arbiters of orthodoxy in our own Christian circle. All very fine—yet interest in theology and knowledge about God, and the capacity to think clearly and talk well on Christian themes, is not at all the same thing as knowing him. -J.I. Packer, Knowing God How well do you know God? This is what the LORD says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight.” -Jeremiah 9:23-24 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. -John 17:3 DESIRE – Knowing God creates a desire to serve and obey Him! DEMONSTRATION – Knowing God is demonstrated by our behavior. DISCIPLESHIP – Knowing God produces disciples who follow The Jesus Way! DARKNESS – Knowing God leads us out of darkness into light. How well do you know God? Real spiritual divers are so in love with the depths that they don’t spend much of their lives trying to make oceanography real in a world where birdbaths define the smaller passions. -Calvin Miller, Into the Depths of God

The peace of God… REAL peace – God’s peace… It’s something we all desire to have; but all too often find it hard to get.  If that statement resonates with you – you are not alone.  Many of us wonder how it is possible to have a life that is ruled by peace.   We know the scriptures teach us to be at peace, to fear not, and to be anxious for nothing; but making that a reality in our lives seems an impossible task.   In this sermon series “Beside Still Waters” Pastor Joplin breaks down exactly what biblical peace is, and more importantly how to get it.  Do you need peace?  If so, it’s no accident you’ve tuned in to today’s message!
