A2 Notes
B1 Remember that 1 John was written so we could know that we are Christians.
B2 Walking is our thoughts, desires, words, and deeds of our daily life. Psalms 86:11, Jeremiah 7:23, Proverbs 2:7, Romans 13:13, Colossians 1:10,
B3 Light is a character trait of truth and purity. John 3:20-21, Romans 13:12
B4 As He is in the light--God is the standard of what is good, pure, and true
B5 We--the Christians
B6 Fellowship is the time and acts together because of and for a common goal. That goal is to do things God's way, to be in the likeness of Jesus Christ by our thoughts, desires, words, and deeds. Acts 2:42, 1 Corinthians 1:9
B7 One another--a bond between believers
B8 The blood of Jesus Christ His Son--Jesus is God's only begotten Son. His blood was shed as the Passover Lamb for ours sins. Hebrews 13:12, 1 Peter 1:18-19
B9 Cleanses us--this is not pardon for sin but purifying from sin. 2 Corinthians 7:1, Hebrews 9:14, James 4:8
