1st john confidencial

The apostle John was a unique individual.  His gospel is distinctively different from the other 3, where he opens it with a highly theological tone.  His Gospel emphasizes the moment of decision, or belief in Christ.  He also wrote the last book in the Bible, Revelation.  I have a youtube playlist all about it!  He also wrote 1, 2, and 3rd John.  As one who walked with Jesus, and then later wrote under the inspiration of the Spirit, it's important to notice how he uses certain words.  The word today is "confidence".  It's in 1 John 4 times.  That's important because it's a short book with only 5 chapters.  Two of the verses, 1 John 2:28 and 1 John 4:17 both mention confidence before Christ at His coming.  1 John 3:21 simply mentions "confidence before God" and the final one in 1 John 5:14 mentions the confidence we have before Him that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us.  Confidence for us in every circumstance because of the Gift that He gave!  Praise God!
