Go please to 1 John.

If you didn't bring a Bible with you this evening, hold your hand up real high.

The ushers will get one to you.

And let's all turn to 1 John 3.

1 John 3.

1 John the 3rd chapter.

And the 14th verse it says

we know

don't you like that

didn't say we think so

we wonder about it we know

that we have passed from death

unto life how do we know that we have passed from death until life, how do we know it?

Not because your name's on the church roster.

Not because you were sprinkled or dipped the appropriate way.

How do you know that you have passed from death until life because we love the brethren

brethren means you fellow Christian male and female now you're supposed to love the world too, but that's a different thing.

You need to distinguish it.

When the Bible says, love your brethren, that he's not talking about the unsaved.

You do care about the unsaved, but he's specifically talking about your fellow Christian.

People say, well, you know, we're all children of the same God, not true.

There are two spiritual families in the earth.
