1John 4 4-6

 a paraphrased ‘enter the story’

 🍃🕊️  reading & study  🕊️🍃

08/20 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

Disciple John wrote — 4 - Little children, you are from God and have overcome them (the anti-Christs/Christ deniers) {in your heart} for he (God) who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world {“the ‘god’ of this world” system and empires}. 5 They are {still} from the world, so they speak from the world {view and sentiment, including the sheep’s clothing worn for political self interest} and - the world - listens to them. {And is enchanted.} 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God hears us. Whoever is not from God does not hear us. And by this we can know the Spirit of truth, from the spirit of error. {Or truth from half truth. Are we listening to and hearing God? Or are we listening to the world/Satan/“accuser”/divider? And accelerator.. toward..?}
