1 John 3:10-12

KJV10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.11For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.12Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.



WEB10In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.11For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;12unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.



These are my thoughts, please share yours.


10 Sin shows whose we are because of how we react to it as Christians sin should cause us to repent and grow closer to the Lord but those who are not His sin causes them to fall away and not come back. It is by our lives that He is revealed to others at times. We should not live like the world if we have Him as Lord this hurts bringing others into the faith. We are to show love to our fellow brothers and sisters in the faith and a heart of the Lord for them. Strife among His children does not show Him.


11 To love one another this is why Jesus came to die for us out of love it is how we share the gospel thru love and it is how others know that we are His by love. We are to love others and if we can’t show love to our family in God then how can we show love to the world that truly hates us.


12 Cain killed his brother the worst possible thing one could do to their brother. Let us let God build us up in love rather then fall to the flesh and show hate and act evil but let us live in a way that shows other believers we are someone they can count on.
