(Jehovah has graciously given)
“Eternal life manifested in Jesus and communicated to us” and then manifested in our walk that we are in the light and enjoying the fellowship of the apostles with the Father and His Son, whose blood cleanseth us from every sin. Although sin dwells in us, we should not sin, but if we do, we have an Advocate who restores our communion, if we confess it. We are characterized by obedience, practicing righteousness and loving one another. We know the Father, that our sins are forgiven, that we have passed from death unto life, and like Him are beyond judgment, that we have eternal life in the Son, that we have the Holy Spirit, who teaches us so that we know the truth that was from the beginning, and which exposes what is of the world, counterfeits, antichrists and error. We know that the whole world lieth in the wicked one. Since He eclipses all, we should allow nothing to eclipse Him.
