1 John 2:1-11

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin.

if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the

Righteous One.

2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for

the sins of the whole world.

Note:

1 is talking about accidental sins. Not a person who practices sinning.

Note:

John 3:9 says: No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's

seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of

God.

know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I

know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in

that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete

in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must

live as Jesus did.

Love and Hatred for Fellow Believers

7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you

have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8

Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because

the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.

9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in

the darkness. 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light,

and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. 11 But anyone who hates a

brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do

not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

In "Your Debt," Trey Knowles declares that we owe the system nothing but love. He speaks to how the system has stripped his people of their divine origin, forcing them to live in the shadows of darkness instead of the light of their true nature.

Trey Knowles' speech "Description" explores the contrast between America's image and its alignment with the image of God. Knowles questions whether America, Great Britain, and England truly reflect godly character, suggesting that many people in these countries have drifted from divine principles. He uses the metaphor of eating from the "belly of the beast" to illustrate how people consume things that are disconnected from God's will—things that don't come from Him, yet are embraced by society. This speech serves as a wake-up call, particularly for those who profess to love God, urging them to reflect on how far they have strayed from righteous values. Knowles challenges his audience to consider how they became so complacent, accepting worldly comforts and distractions, rather than holding on to spiritual truths. Through his message, he aims to spark a deeper awareness about the need to realign with divine principles and live according to God's image.
