Where are you? 1 John 2:12-14

Good morning everyone!!! I hope this is a great day in the Lord for you. God has plans for all of us, we need to stop and listen to what God is saying.
1 John 2:12-14 "I AM WRITING TO YOU WHO ARE GOD'S CHILDREN BECAUSE YOUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN THROUGH JESUS. (13) I AM WRITING TO YOU WHO ARE MATURE IN THE FAITH BECAUSE YOU KNOW CHRIST, WHO EXISTED FROM THE BEGINNING, I AM WRITING TO YOU WHO ARE YOUNG IN THE FAITH BECAUSE YOU HAVE WON YOUR BATTLE WITH THE EVIL ONE. (14) I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU WHO ARE GOD'S CHILDREN BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE FATHER. I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU WHO ARE MATURE IN THE FAITH BECAUSE YOU KNOW CHRIST, WHO EXISTED FROM THE BEGINING, I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU WHO ARE YOUNG IN THE FAITH BECAUSE YOU ARE STRONG. GOD'S WORD LIVES IN YOUR HEARTS, AND YOU HAVE WON YOUR BATTLE WITH THE EVIL ONE."
Wow!!! A mouthful said here!!! John was writing to believers of all ages. The chidren had experienced forgiveness through Jesus. Those who are mature in the faith have been in Christ longer whereas the young in the faith had battled with Satan's temptation and had won. Each point in our Christian life builds upon the other. As we teach our children more and more about Christ they continue to have victory after victory. Their spiritual relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ continues to grow.
The mature in Christ have gained more knowledge and wisdom from past experiences and should be able to guide the new in Christ. Where are you in your spiritual Christian growth? Are you mature enough to lead the youth? So many temptations today for our youth, we need to be strong and mature in Christ so we may fight the good fight. Do something for Jesus today!!! Share Jesus with someone!!! STOP, DROP AND PRAY!!!! Satan is alive and we are in a constant warfare. Stop and rest only when you let Jesus take charge. Thanks for reading. Love you all! Have a wonderful day and week.

In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
