To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From; GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper,
that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD
1 John 2:12–29 (The Living Bible) 12 I am writing these things to all of you, my little children,
because your sins have been forgiven in the name of Jesus our Savior. 13
I am saying these things to you older men because you really know Christ, the
one who has been alive from the beginning. And you young men, I am talking to
you because you have won your battle with Satan. And I am writing to you
younger boys and girls because you, too, have learned to know God our Father. 14
And so I say to you fathers who know the eternal God, and to you young men who
are strong with God’s Word in your hearts, and have won your struggle against
Satan: 15 Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you,
for when you love these things you show that you do not really love God; 16
for all these worldly things, these evil desires—the craze for sex, the
ambition to buy everything that appeals to you, and the pride that comes from
wealth and importance—these are not from God. They are from this evil world
itself. 17 And this world is fading away, and these evil, forbidden
things will go with it, but whoever keeps doing the will of God will live
forever. 18 Dear children, this world’s last hour has come. You have
heard about the Antichrist who is coming—the one who is against Christ—and
already many such persons have appeared. This makes us all the more certain
that the end of the world is near. 19 These “against-Christ” people
used to be members of our churches, but they never really belonged with us or
else they would have stayed. When they left us it proved that they were not of
us at all. 20 But you are not like that, for the Holy Spirit has
come upon you, and you know the truth. 21 So I am not writing to you as to those who need to know the truth, but
I warn you as those who can discern the difference between true and false. 22
And who is the greatest liar? The one who says that Jesus is not Christ. Such a person is antichrist, for he does not
believe in God the Father and in his Son. 23 For a person who
doesn’t believe in Christ, God’s Son, can’t have God the Father either. But he
who has Christ, God’s Son, has God the Father also. 24 So keep
on believing what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will
always be in close fellowship with both God the Father and his Son. 25
And he himself has promised us this: eternal life. 26 These
remarks of mine about the Antichrist are pointed at those who would dearly love
to blindfold you and lead you astray. 27 But you have received the
Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, in your hearts, so that you don’t need
anyone to teach you what is right. For he teaches you all things, and he is the
Truth, and no liar; and so, just as he has said, you must live in Christ, never
to depart from him. 28 And now, my little children, stay in happy
fellowship with the Lord so that when he comes you will be sure that all is
well and will not have to be ashamed and shrink back from meeting him. 29
Since we know that God is always good and does only right, we may rightly
assume that all those who do right are his children.
2 Timothy 2:1–16 (The Living Bible) 1 O Timothy, my son, be strong with the strength Christ Jesus gives
you. 2 For you must teach others those things you and many others
have heard me speak about. Teach these great truths to trustworthy men who
will, in turn, pass them on to others. 3 Take your share of
suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, just as I do; 4 and as
Christ’s soldier, do not let yourself become tied up in worldly affairs, for
then you cannot satisfy the one who has enlisted you in his army. 5 Follow
the Lord’s rules for doing his work, just as an athlete either follows the
rules or is disqualified and wins no prize. 6 Work hard like a
farmer who gets paid well if he raises a large crop. 7 Think over
these three illustrations, and may the Lord help you to understand how they
apply to you. 8 Don’t ever forget the wonderful fact that Jesus
Christ was a man, born into King David’s family; and that he was God, as shown
by the fact that he rose again from the dead. 9 It is because I have
preached these great truths that I am in trouble here and have been put in jail
like a criminal. But the Word of God is not chained, even though I am. 10
I am more than willing to suffer if that will bring salvation and eternal glory
in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen. 11 I am comforted by this
truth, that when we suffer and die for Christ it only means that we will begin
living with him in heaven. 12 And if we think that our present
service for him is hard, just remember that some day we are going to sit with
him and rule with him. But if we give up when we suffer, and turn against
Christ, then he must turn against us. 13 Even when we are too weak to have any faith left, he remains faithful
to us and will help us, for he cannot disown us who are part of himself, and he
will always carry out his promises to us. 14 Remind your people
of these great facts, and command them in the name of the Lord not to argue
over unimportant things. Such arguments are confusing and useless and even
harmful. 15 Work hard so God can say to you, “Well done.” Be a good
workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when God examines your work. Know
what his Word says and means. 16 Steer clear of foolish discussions
that lead people into the sin of anger with each other.

Living God to give you the interpretation.
2 Peter 1:16–21
(Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
