Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 1 John 2:12-17 The Voice12 I am writing to you, my children, because your sins have been forgiven by the authority of His name. 13 I am writing to you, fathers and mothers, because you have known Him as the Creator, as the One who started everything. I am writing to you, young people, because He has given you the power to conquer the evil one. 14 I have written to you, my children, because you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers and mothers, because you have known Him, the Creator. I have written to you, young people, because the voice of God remains and is heard among you. Remember that you have conquered the evil one. 15 Don’t fall in love with this corrupt world or worship the things it can offer. Those who love its corrupt ways don’t have the Father’s love living within them. 16 All the things the world can offer to you—the allure of pleasure, the passion to have things, and the pompous sense of superiority—do not come from the Father. These are the rotten fruits of this world. 17 This corrupt world is already wasting away, as are its selfish desires. But the person really doing God’s will—that person will never cease to be. For Reflection
God has forgiven your sins. God is the Creator and has given you the power to conquer evil. The voice of God remains and is heard among you and all believers. Beware, however, of the rotten fruits of this world who bear false witness to the Eternal One. PrayPray to your Creator, prayers of thanksgiving and petition. Pray for the strength and courage to follow the way of Jesus. Pray to fend off the advances of the rotten fruits.
