Introduction, The Incarnate Word

1[WE ARE writing] about the Word of Life [in] Him Who existed from the beginning, Whom we have heard, Whom we have seen with our [own] eyes, Whom we have gazed upon [for ourselves] and have touched with our [own] hands.G3739G2258G575G746G3739G191G3739G3708G2257G3788G3739G2300G2532G2257G5495G5584G4012G3056G22222And the Life [an aspect of His being] was revealed (made manifest, demonstrated), and we saw [as eyewitnesses] and are testifying to and declare to you the Life, the eternal Life [in Him] Who already existed with the Father and Who [actually] was made visible (was revealed) to us [His followers].G2532G2222G5319G2532G3708G2532G3140G2532G518G5213G166G2222G3748G2258G4314G3962G2532G5319G22543What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may realize {and} enjoy fellowship as partners {and} partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah).G3739G3708G2532G191G518G5213G2443G5210G2532G2192G2842G3326G2257G2532G2251G2842G1161G3326G3962G2532G3326G846G5207G2424G55474And we are now writing these things to you so that our joy [in seeing you included] may be full [and {your} joy may be complete].G2532G5023G1125G5213G2443G5216G5479G5600G4137

God Is Light

5And this is the message [the message of promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [no, not in any way].G3778G2532G2076G1860G3739G191G575G846G2532G312G5213G3754G2316G2076G5457G2532G1722G846G2076G3756G4653G37626[So] if we say we are partakers together {and} enjoy fellowship with Him when we live {and} move {and} are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live {and} practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents].G1437G2036G3754G2192G2842G3326G846G2532G4043G1722G4655G5574G2532G4160G3756G2257But if we [really] are living {and} walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus {Christ} His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin {and} guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].G1161G1437G4043G1722G5457G5613G846G2076G1722G5457G2192G2842G3326G240G2532G129G2424G5547G846G5207G2511G2248G575G3956G2668If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude {and} lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts].G1437G2036G3754G2192G3756G266G4105G1438G2532G225G2076G3756G1722G22549If we [freely] admit that we have sinned {and} confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].G1437G3670G2257G266G2076G4103G2532G1342G2443G863G2254G266G2532G2511G2248G575G3956G9310If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word {and} make Him out to be false {and} a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts].G1437G2036G3754G264G3756G264G4160G846G5583G2532G846G3056G2076G3756G1722G2254

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
