The Man of Lawlessness

1John.5:10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn't believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son. 5:11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 5:12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.

The confusion in lawlessness and darkness is found between light and darkness in the shadows of men and woman hearts bent upon making the power of Christ righteous life into little more than corruptness of mankind own life found in the pride of sin.

Matt.5:37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

Is it darkness or is it light the apostle John address the real question? Is it in our own mind the fear found in our own flesh, or is it the light that cannot be corrupted or controlled by the things of our flesh? What indeed is the testimony? A preacher, a religious, a massive corporation, a powerful government built upon the name of God, what is the testimony for God's children?

Matt.7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

Here is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and that eternal life is the Son of God, or its not? Does the churches teach that, does governments teach that? No! For they teach we are earning eternal life based upon the standards they teach from God's word the bible, but was that the message God's children was given by the Spirit?

Matthew 6:23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Sadly, if we think so we have missed the point? The life of Christ is the constant testimony in us (light), not words from religion, not words from men or woman, not words heard by the world, but the incorruptible life of Christ in us always is working for the Father glory in righteousness that is the power of our new life in Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Philippians 1:11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Isn't it simple? Yes, so simple, that if one has the source of all life in them, they have life, if they do not, they don't have life. Now we can introduce evil into those thoughts as religion does, or we can say words of truth which are not evil but state the unchangeable laws of God. Life only comes from Christ that is what God put upon Christ, and that is why God dwells in Christ so without Christ we certainly don't have eternal life. You see what is the message, what is the testimony, without the power of life behind it it is death, darkness? Well, its not words on paper or scrolls someone must breathe life into the dead words, but if the Word of God is a live, (Spirit) then it must exerts power of truth when speaking, that is, the very power of his life (the truth Christ Jesus) who is incorruptible, so his every word are life, breathing life into his body members.

1 John 4:13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

1 John 5:6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

1 Corinthians 4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Why were these brothers and sisters fearing the flesh that is dead in Christ more than the testimony of God which gave them their life in Christ life? Well, it was the teaching of false religion, the lurking place of demons, where man justifies the lust in his heart for this world by wrapping God's written words around his selfish ambition, such is the darkness, a drunkenness of the demon processing thoughts that are misleading all the nations against God.

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

The message could not be clearer, it is the never changing message from the beginning; there is no darkness in light, the darkness is in us the darkness we want and believe we can justify by God's own righteousness, Christ Jesus, and/or we can come to the light and be reproved by the power of truth (Spirit), if we love truth?

1Cor.4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
