This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life.
All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the veil one cannot harm him.
We are in him who is true - even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
Keep away form idols!
The false teachers loved to talk about knowledge. John makes his own list of thing 'we know' for a certainty.
- We know that Christ himself keeps his followers from continuing in the old sinful way of life.
- We know that through the Son of God we know God himself, and share his eternal life.
- We know we belong to God in an alien world.
Having set out the certainties, John urges his readers in closing: 'Do not abandon the real for the illusory(虛幻)'
A sin that does lead to death is does not accept Jesus is Son of God and does not commit his sins.
Why?
Because born of God know what is right and evil, God is love, so would not continue to sin. If does sin it is against the Lord, against his faith.
Pray according to God's will for it is pleased to God. Instead of my will.
There is no excuse to sins, there is not caused by spiritual and flesh body. Christian is knowing the true that 'Born of God will not continue to sin.'
How?
Pray to the Lord let me keep away from sin and commit my sin before the Lord.
