JOHN DESCRIBES TRUE
CHRISTIANS
LESSON TEXT—I John 2:1-6; 3:13-18;
>. 1:15-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—But if we walk In the
’ light, as he Is In the light, we have fellow-
j ship one with another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cloanseth us from all sin.—
I John 1:7.
k - Religion and life go together. To
hold the tenets of Christian truth in
one’s head and not to have them
move the heart is to deny the very
faith one professes. Yfet this is the
danger which faces the believer—a
temptation before which many have
fallen. The result is that much of
“what passes for Christianity in
these days is very thin stuff, very
remote from the original” (Shoe-
maker).
John was not content with such a
weak imitation, and in his writings
he set up the true standard of a
forgiven and transformed life, liv-
ing itself out in love and sacrificial
service. If we have forgotten what
God meant us to be in Christ, or
are members of a church which has
strayed from the true and living
way, this lesson affords an opportu-
nity for penitence and works meet
thereunto.
The true Christian life must have
I. Sin Forgiven and Life Trans-
formed (I John 2:1-6).
Not only at the beginning of the
Christian life is sin dealt with and
put away, but day by day—yes, mo-
ment by moment—we have the
cleansing power of the blood of our
Divine Advocate.
This is of the utmost importance,
for God can only use clean chan-
nels for the outgoing of His power
and grace to the world. We know
our own weakness and the defiling
presence of the world. But unlike
the unregenerate man, we do not
submit and go down; we turn to
Christ for forgiveness and cleans-
ing.
The transformation of life which
thus comes to the believer is shown
in obedience to the commandments
of God. In the early church there
were those who said that if they only
believed in Christ as Saviour it made
jio difference how they lived—and
'Wiey have their followers in our day.
j Be sure of this, the essential thing
\ Christian profession is not how
ou talk about Christ, but how you
jalk in obedience to His command-
I ..^-'^eal Christianity will cause us to
II. Hated by the World and Loved
by the Brethren (I Johfi 3:13-18).
The world, that is, unregenerate
mankind, hates a genuine Christian
no matter how kind and loving he
may be. Why? “Because the Chris-
tian believer gives the non-believer
an uncomfortable sense of inferiori-
ty. The presence of high Christian
ideals in marked contrast to his own
selfish policies arouses his anger
and resentment” (Douglass).
The presence of a clean, godly
life in a community makes every
sinner look that much blacker, and
the world, the flesh, and the devil
will do everything possible to break
down and destroy such a testimony.
We, as Christians, should not be
surprised that the world hates us.
In fact, we should be troubled if it
does not hate us, for if our Chris-
tianity really means anything, it is
distasteful to a God-hating world.
Beware if sinners find nothing in
your life which distresses them and
convicts them of sin.
In the midst of enmity the Chris-
tian is not afraid, for he is
III. Indwelt by God and Unafraid
In the World (I John 4:15-17).
A sincere confession of Christ as
Saviour brings a man into that close
relationship to God which is ex-
pressed in the words, “God abideth
in him, and he in God” (v. 15).
The full depth of meaning of these
words is obviously beyond our lim-
ited understanding, but we accept
the fact by faith and rejoice in it.
We recognize that it means that we
are brought by our faith in Christ,
into the very center of God’s love.
Christ, the well-beloved Son, who
stands in that blessed place, draws
us into the circle and there we stand
in Him.
God’s love showed itself in the giv-
ing of His Son as the Redeemer of
the world. It was and is unselfish
and sacrificial devotion to the eter-
only judgment. We do not love un-
til we reflect that quality in our
lives.
Such love casts out fear. Fellow-'
ship is impossible in an atmosphere
j^fffear, but love rules it out. In
Christ we realize that God first
loved us, and then our hearts go out
in warm devotion to him.
Not only does the Christian no
longer fear the day of judgment,

Hibernating Animals
When animals are in a state of
hibernation they are only a step
or two from death. Their heart
beat is very slow, their body tem-
perature falls way below normal,
and their breathing is not percep-
tible by ordinary means. If you
dig up a ground squirrel in hiber-
nation, you can shake it, pinch it,
drop it on the table, even stick it
with pins, and it will remain as
limp as though dead. Only fairly
long exposure to warmth will re-
vive the rodent.

In the Navy a floor is a "deck,”
doors are “bulkheads,” down-
stairs is “below,” and a cigarette
is a “Camel.” At least, Camel is
the favorite cigarette among Navy
men, as it is among men in the
Army, Marines, and Coast Guard.
(Based on actual sales records
from service men’s stores.) Afid
a carton of Camels is a favorite
gift. Though there are now Post
Office restrictions on packages to
overseas Army men, you can still
send Camels to soldiers in the
U. S., and to men in the Navy,
Marines, and Coast Guard wher-
ever they are.—Adv.
