34 for 30: Day 4 - 1 John

Today's reading was from 1 John, which has a total of 5 chapters.  The book was written about 85-95 A.D. by the apostle John.   There were two words that stood out to me in the reading.  The first was 'know' (e.g.to know Him, know the truth, know love, know God listens, know that you have eternal life). The second was the word 'practice'.  In one way it was good as in to practice the truth and practice righteousness.  In another way it was not so good as in to practice sin and practice lawlessness. 1 John 2:15-17 is a good warning for us all. "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world--the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions--is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever."  It is true.  The world is passing away.  Hold on to Christ.
