Sometimes we just need encouragement, don’t we?\u00a0 It can seem like the whole world is on our shoulder and if one more thing happens, we’re going to snap.\u00a0 I love this little section where John just pours out encouragement on his readers.\u00a0 In essence, he simply says, “I’m writing to you because you can do it…because it has been done in you!\u00a0 Keep going!\u00a0 Be encouraged!”\u00a0 Just listen to some of these statements:<\/p>\n
I’m writing to you…<\/p>\n
…because your sins are forgiven for His name’s sake.<\/p>\n
…because you know Him who is from the beginning.<\/p>\n
…because you have overcome the evil one.<\/p>\n
…because you know the Father.<\/p>\n
…because you know Him who is from the beginning.<\/p>\n
…because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.<\/p>\n
If you are in Christ today, regardless of the circumstances, be encouraged.\u00a0 You are more than conquerors.<\/p>\n
