Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his love,

let him fill your heart and will satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with the book of proofs

as we pick up in 1 John, Chapter 2,

verse 12.

And now with today's message, here's

Pastor Chuck.

So we turn now in our Bibles to 1st John chapter 2 verse 12. The book of first

John is a book of proofs. It isn't what I say, it's what I am. And I can say one thing and

do another.

What I say doesn't count.

What I do is what counts.

For if I say that I have no sin, I'm only deceiving myself. The truth isn't in me. If I say I have

fellowship with God and I'm walking in darkness, I'm lying, I'm not telling the truth. If I say I know him and I don't keep his commandments, I'm a liar. The truth isn't in me.

If I say I abide in him, then I ought also to walk even as he walked.
